For today’s prompt, write a moment poem. The moment could be this very moment in time. Or pick a moment from your past and dive into it. It could be a huge moment or event in your life (or the life of another). Or you could share a small, private moment–like a walk at night or solitary adventure.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
Did you know if someone can get through a suicidal crisis, chances are they will not go on to die by suicide? *
Just a moment
If you could hold on
just a moment,
a spark of hope
might flare
If you could see
as far as tomorrow
something worth living for
is there
If you could feel
the love around you,
that I need you
here today
If you knew
if you’d wait a moment
maybe you’d stay.
