This is a poem I read years ago and loved. It is perfect for defiantly celebrating the first day of June under a fascist regime.
For the first prompt, write your own origin myth for a story or poem, connecting a part of the nature or the creation of the universe to your own life. Claim the moon or a planet, a mountain, an ocean, the jet stream, or the first drop of rain in a drought.
The second prompt is to write your experience of coming out, if you have one, as if explaining a natural phenomenon in a science class in an essay, story or poem.
The third prompt is to use the line “Do you believe in the power of not listening” as your title or as a ghostline, erasing the line after you finish writing the poem or story or as your title. For either path, remember to credit the poet for your inspiration. The line would work well for a list poem.
For the last prompt, write about survival and resiliency and outliving those who want the world to be as rigid and small and narrow and cruel as they are.
Happy Pride. Good luck writing and have fun.
