Wish

January 2, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

GBE2: Blog On Writing Prompt: Wish…

Written down, my loftiest dreams become goals,
Ink to paper, memorized, saved and
Savored. Otherwise, they are merely
Hidden wishes, whispered to a star.

    I totally agree. A wish is just a thought, until you write it down. That begins the plan to make it happen. Beautifully written.

    Love this. I used to write a ton of poetry. Maybe I’ll be inspired to dig some of it out!

    I loved your WISH poem. I jotted it down the other day. I’m glad you posted in the ARWB link up. I lost my little sheet of paper that I wrote the poem on! Today I thought “DUH, why not just put it on your Pinterest board?”
    Thanks for sharing!
