NaPoWriMo + Blogging from A to Z Challenge 2015 – N is for…

N is for… Never
~ by Laurel Regan

(Pssst… new here? Welcome to Alphabet Salad! For background on how and why I got involved in both NaPoWriMo and the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, check out this post… and, if you’d like to catch up on my progress to date, my challenge posts are tagged with Poetry from A to Z. Glad you stopped by, and hope you’ll return!)

Never say never.

Needlessly limiting potential
Expecting assumptions to be accurate
Vainly striving for control through black-and-white definition
Eliminating grey-area options
Restricting growth…

Stop!
Accept the uncertainty of possibility – let yourself consider
Yes, ok, sure… or even just maybe (you can always start with maybe)

Now, life overflows with
Exciting prospects
Vibrantly tinted by brave imagination
Energized with freedom of choice
Revealing what might happen, hinting at what could be…

Never say never.

That’s an awesome poem Laurel: very creative of you! I can’t think of the type of poem it’s called; however, I think I read about it recently, perhaps through someone’s blog post A to Z challenge. Does that ring a bell? 😉 <3
