Welcome back!
PROMPT #449
I have chosen two lines from an essay on Shakespeare by James Baldwin
No time can be easy if one is living through it.
That is why he is called a poet
Include one or both the lines in your piece, with no reference to Shakespeare. The line of thought needs to be yours, not influenced by classics.
There is no restriction on the length of the piece. There is no deadline unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
We will not include offensive or vulgar posts, or posts that hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.
