Today, I wrote three poems in three different styles using the same prompt.
There once was a man who wanted to fly
He had a big dream and a vision so high
He wrote down his goals and made a plan
He said to himself, “I can do it, yes I can!”
He bought a ticket and boarded a plane
He was so excited; he felt no pain
He looked out the window and saw the sky
He said to himself, “This is it, I’m going to fly!”
But then he heard a voice on the speaker
It said, “Attention passengers, we have a problem here
We need to make an emergency landing
Please stay calm and follow our commanding”
The man was shocked and felt a chill
He wondered what was wrong and if he was ill
He looked at his ticket and saw the word
It said, “Destination: Manifest, a place unheard,”
He realized he had made a mistake
He had booked the wrong flight for goodness sake
He had not checked the details or read the fine print
He had not manifested his dream; he had only dreamt.
A man had a list of things to manifest
He wanted to be rich and have success
He worked hard every day
But he forgot to play
And soon he became very depressed
Make a clear intention of what you want
Align your thoughts and feelings with it
Never give up or doubt your power
Imagine it as if it’s already done
Feel grateful for the opportunity
Expect miracles and synchronicities
Stay open and receptive to guidance
Trust the process and enjoy the journey
