And so to the August Challenge, and this time it is all about freedom.
If you were in the Cult last time, you may remember this wee Polaroid was in your Goody Box, and then I completely forgot to tell you why, but there we are, I never claimed to be good at this.
But the Challenge – imagine that you have been locked-up for a while in a horrible and dirty place, and then wake up to the door unlocked and the promise of freedom beyond.
And this is all about the positive, as I ask you to imagine what comes next and generally – Where Are You Going?
The Challenge:
Write a Poem describing what freedom would mean to you.
There are no limits to style, length, form or anything else
