April 2020 Prompts
I hope everyone is taking care during this time! A mixed bag of quotes, poetry and lyrics below.
1. face to the sun like a child
2. i love you but there are things older and murkier than love
3. i use sweets to relieve stress.
4. a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm
5. they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable
6. “Where have you been?" she cried. "Damn you, where have you been?"
7. he kept waving his hand until i could no longer see him... it filled my heart with emotion...
8. the next move is you / in my game you lose
9. there is no end to the thrilling things happening!
10. sweet smile of the talk show host
11. cry. cry as much as you wish. someday that resentment will become your fangs.
12. “this night (she pointed to herself) is irreparable, but where you are (pointed at me) it’s still light.”
13. knowing wrong from right just rules!
14. fall to slow emotion
15. i want to become a horrifying woman.
16. --in a world where everyone tries to stab everyone else in the back, it's almost a relief to find someone who'd rather shoot you in the face
17. this view of the top of your head makes me forgive you
18. her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea
19. "I would enter your sleep if I could, and guard you there, and slay the thing that hounds you, as I would if it had the courage to face me in fair daylight. But I cannot come in unless you dream of me.”
20. remind me of a better day / what we did and couldn’t say
21. "I'd like to smash everything in this room." "Is that a threat?" "...Depends on how much you like the furniture."
22. smoke in my lantern
23. "why do we change, i wonder. i was always so sweet..."
24. but i'm always dreaming, even when i'm awake; it is never finished.
25. i thought i had found a fire but it was the play of light on bright stones
26. "If you won't defend your precious things, people will take them from you."
27. "I can't stand squealers, hit that guy!"
28. mine’s a black heart you could flip
29. if there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must.
30. "The light, the sky, the people, insects, I love them all! I love life!"
