About this item
Discover the joy of expressing what's inside you, with fill-in-the-blank poems that are sparking a creative movement. We all have stories inside us - whether or not we consider ourselves "creative." Poet and novelist Joseph Fasano has developed a remarkable tool that allows anyone to experience the joy of creative expression. The fifty simple yet powerful prompts in this book are poems that you complete yourself. By adding just a few words of your own, you create something beautiful and wholly new - that comes from within.. Discover the magic of putting your feelings into words - and be inspired by sample poems submitted by people of all ages and walks of life. Exploring themes like friendship, love, grief, gratitude, and hope, these inclusive, accessible, and deceptively simple poems express powerful emotional truths - written by you.
