    Hello All!!!!

    It has been ages since I have been on this website, so long that I had to make a new profile - no access to anything associated with the old one lol I struggle with joyful inspiration and find that most of my writing takes me back to my traumas. I started writing to heal and attempt to move forward. I need and want to picture happiness again...

    So, I am looking for inspiration! Please, share a title of a poem (by you or not) that brings you happiness/joy/hope/etc.
    Also, if you are willing to participate in a secondary group activity I would be willing to swap words groups/titles for writing prompts!

    Welcome back! :D

    I know others have mentioned before that writing can often bring back hurtful moments in our life, either remembering or trying to process traumas that still affect us and that we're still processing.

    On this site, I always feel a sense of calm reading Tanya Southey's works. They're quite reflective. "The Week of Grounding" for instance.

    Also, hiraeth on here. He has a lot of poems dealing with love, yearning, sadness but one specific piece, "you are love", is about exactly what the title states: https://www.poems-and-quotes.com/poems/1280676

    Feel free to post in the main forum with any ideas for contents or prompts! We can all share some titles or anything to hopefully inspire one another.
