I mentioned my intentions of writing more in 2016 – not blogging or freelance writing but working more on my novel, writing more poetry. That sort of thing. I have decided to take part in ‘Prose For Thought’ every week, a linky run by Victoria from Verily Victoria Vocalises. I am yet to even participate but have found the whole community that take part in the linky to be a really welcoming bunch and I am looking forward to getting to know them over the next year. So here we go, with my first piece I am linking up. I’m slightly nervous although I really shouldn’t be. I’ve never really shared my work with many people before!
I may also take part in The Prompt in the future as I know that is where Victoria draws her inspiration from sometimes but this week I am going it alone.

The year, it has started now
Things all start anew
But every day still seems the same
I don’t know what to do
Getting up, the school run
Answering emails galore
There must be more to life than this
Is it wrong that I want more?
Getting out there, making new friends
The home can be so lonely
I love where I am, I love what I do
But being a mum is not the only
String to my bow, I’ve got more to give
Is it wrong to want to achieve?
I’ll take a chance, I’ll be strong
If I just believe
in me.

I really like this, love the way it flows, and I think it’s something that a lot of us can relate to. I’m still not quite sure where I go next, but it’s definitely not wrong to want more in your life x #prose4t [and it would be lovely to see you on #theprompt ;)]
Thanks Sara!
Loving this! Of course it’s not wrong to achieve. Good luck with your writing journey xx
Thanks Vai!
I can definitely relate to this! I hope you find what you seek this year. #Prose4T
Thanks Lucy!
Firstly, thank you so much for linking up for the first time Rebecca – I feel completely honoured 🙂 This is a great poem – it flows really well and I love the strong, positive ending. Hope to see you again this week on #Prose4T x
Thanks Victoria!
Hi Rebecca! Great poem – love the flow and the sentiment, you absolutely should believe in yourself. I think planning to do more writing in 2016 is a great goal. I run a linky called ‘What I’m Writing’ which you’re very welcome to join in with too! xx
Thank you Maddy x
