NaPoWriMo Day 14: Hope, Celebrate, Winter

Hello! I hope you write a poem today.

Today’s Prompt

Write a poem incorporating the concepts of Hope, Celebrate, and Winter.

The Navigation Card encourages you to start this poem by making 3 lists: 7 nouns, 7 verbs, and 7 adjectives. What words do these Inspiration Cards inspire in you? Then, write a poem (in any form) that effectively uses all 21 words you generated.

And, if the Winter card seems out of place with the other two, lean into that—you never know what amazing things can be discovered in a seeming contradiction.

Here are some paintings and prompts:
