There’s something timeless about a bird in flight—a symbol of freedom, hope, and yearning. This poetry prompt invites you to watch the sky and write from the heart, letting your desires ride the wind on feathered wings.
✍️ Prompt Starter Example:
A lone heron lifts from the marsh, its wings steady against the hush of dawn. You watch it disappear into the morning light and feel something in you rise with it—something unsaid, yet deeply known.
Write a poem where the bird’s flight becomes the shape of your desire.
💭 Reflective Questions:
- What is the one longing within you that wants to be free?
- How does the bird’s movement reflect your own emotional landscape?
- Can the open sky represent not escape—but arrival?
Let the bird be your metaphor. Let your poem become a home for the longing you’ve carried quietly—and watch how it lifts.
