I have been on an absolute kick with regard to love. This is possibly because I've been looking through old notebooks and noticing how much my pen used to be obsessed with the idea. I had filled many pages with the idea, and I kind of like it. Love is one of the driving forces behind the universe it seems; it's everywhere. But sometimes we forget it. Or it gets misplaced. Sometimes it sneaks its way into our other pieces of baggage; you know, the ones which we glean from past relationships or ones that will never really be. Sometimes we forget how powerful this word is and why it should be saved and used only when we truly mean it. These thoughts are what lead into today's prompt.
Write an epistle (poem in letter form) to someone whom you love (or loved).
Granted, this is a difficult topic, so I'm going to open it up a bit and encourage you to write to the very first person who comes to mind. What does love mean where this person is concerned? Is it a feeling of concern for their well-being (like a guardian or parent)? Is it a feeling of platonic, amazing friendship? Is it a difficult to describe, deep seated attraction type love? As you'll notice, these questions revolve around what type of love you're trying to express. Keep this in mind: There are several different types of love. Which do you feel strongest in your life right now? Which felt strongest to you at some point prior to this? How would you describe your thoughts/feelings? As always, be specific, and don't hesitate to put pen to page.
Love is a strong emotion and well worth writing about, so be sure to have fun writing and good luck!
