Composed 5/5/16
Description: For Writing 101. Today’s theme is “Face” and the suggested device is alliteration. I might have gone a bit crazy with that last part, but it was fun!
Let’s face it
The facade you frequent is often fake
An alternative awareness aimed to amaze
To make a case, cease concerns about confidence
Even though every day is a struggle with esteem
Maybe someday you’ll face it
And we’ll face each other honestly
This is great – I think you and I feel the same way about writing; thjere’s a word we both use a lot; fun. :)

Fun is important! I like to write for writing’s sake. Sometimes that stems from a need to create or express a deep emotion… and sometimes it’s just fun to do!

I agree with all of the above – I wish I could get into the frame of mind that inspired this poem: https://janebasilblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/29/tribute-to-horseradish/
One night, I said to my son, give me a word, and I’ll make a poem from it – and that was the result.

Sometimes prompts can have surprisingly good results!

Sometimes – I did the A to Z challenge recently, and I was dreading X – but when I came to it I wrote the most inspired poem I’ve come up with for a long time. It gave me the answer to something I’ve been asking myself since I was about eight years old.

Yeah! Don’t get me wrong, some forced-out things I don’t like as well as some of the stuff that comes naturally, but you do get those little surprises that jump out at you once in awhile!
