Our prompt today is REFLECTION/ LOOKING BACK/AGE. Yes, you can write about whichever one you choose or tie them all together.
I had a hard time finding a song I wanted to feature with this prompt. I finally came up with Alan Jackson's song "Remember When" in which he sings about looking back through the years of life. Very touching song, I think. It gave me ONE idea a person might use for writing to this prompt: Write a poem in which each stanza begins with "Remember when....." Just start writing, and see what comes!
REFLECT on the past. What comes to your mind? What do you see when you LOOK BACK? Who do you see? What helps YOU remember the past?
Other related ideas that might work for you: Do you feel your age? Do you look your age? When you look back, what was your favorite decade? Write about why. Share a memory of that time in poetry. Just go with the flow.
Or think AGE, and see where your mind goes. Write about it. Do you feel your age? How do you feel about your age? About aging? What was your favorite age? Etc.
Please link one poem that is your response to the material of this prompt. When you link your poem, please visit other links, in the spirit of community, as everyone enjoys having their words read.
