A Cure for Worries

Posted bywordsandcoffee1Posted inPoetryTags:, , , ,

Selma leads this week’s prompt for Wea’ve Written Weekly at the Skeptic’s Kaddish. Here are the rules she’s put forth, and my prose poem follows below.

Rules

  • Format your ‘prose poem’ like breaking news;
  • Give it a bold attractive title;
  • A beginning/middle/end;
  • Make it a Good News account of something that will benefit us all. Use strong, positive VERBS;
  • Add enough detail to make it believable/relieve us of some stress;
  • Not short, but not too long;
  • Have fun. Happy Writing!

New Cure for Worry!

In breaking news, we’ve found the aid! Not a pill or a silly band-aid! A real miracle elixir to transport the mind to a scene of tranquility and comfort divine.

New trials are almost complete for this product’s reveal: a drug-free method to truly heal. Though still in process, the ingredients are told: one hearty dash of open-mindedness for those known and unknown; a patient heart and mind without load; attention to those from whom wisdom can be gleaned; a calming location with water and trees.

Take our advice, now– don’t be late! We’ll return next week with the newest update!

Hah– I’m not sure about this one, friends. My prose poem sounds like a greeting card ate a tabloid newspaper. It’s all in good fun, though, right I hope you’re blessed with worry-free days even without a miracle elixir. 😉

  9. Lol I didn’t get greeting card vibes, but I did get advertisement feelings. It’s almost as if I was reading a miracle pill ad from the 1950s. In all practicality though, I feel like that’s a great cure for worry. My personal method is to get myself to breathe heavily. A little exertion goes a long way in turning down the volume knob of life.

    A real miracle elixir to transport the mind to a scene of tranquility and comfort divine– girl, I cannot thank you enough for penning this one. What lovely news to wake up to. I think you rocked it. It has most certainly relieved me of stress and the greatest part is that the ingredients are readily available. Wowed me, Sarah David.Thanks for participating. I wish you miracles.
