#NaPoWriMo Day 1 Prompt: write an instructional or dis-instructional poem


It always amazes me how our mind can get carried away when we can’t see things clearly or how our imaginations begin to flow when we come upon the unexpected or unexplained. “In the Midst of the Mist” is an imaginary story that shows us the importance of not letting ourselves get overcome by fear, or letting our emotions get out of control, by imagining things that may not be true, just because we can’t see the whole picture clearly.
Foggy
White mist surrounds
Silencing nearly all sounds
I struggle to keep within bounds
White line
Tail lights
These help me to focus and see
I move slowly as can be
Want to be free
Fog lifts
