Prompt:

Write about a weekend - any weekend. Maybe one that stays with you - a favorite. Maybe you went away from home, or rode the train or went on a road trip with friends. Maybe you stayed home the whole time and cooked for yourself. Maybe you went to a party or a friend’s house for coffee. Craft a poem that includes the whole weekend - from Friday night to Sunday night. Tell us everything that happened!

Poem 23/30 excerpt

Friday afternoon is full of hope—

and I carry that

brimming and booming inside

of me a tumble

life and possibility

each weekend an opening.
