In the lead up to Issue III’s theme announcement on Sunday, 4th July, we are releasing three prompts this week which are linked in some way to the upcoming issue. These prompts can be used to inspire poetry, prose, photography & art.
Our top three favourites will be shared on the blog next week! Post your response as a comment or as a link in the comments.
Prompt 2: we were built on sand
We were built on sand
But the weight of love
In our hearts was so heavy
It would not let us blow away

Sandcastles
He’s standing on the beach
with a small suitcase.
It’s unclear
if the suitcase is full
or empty.
Once he packed it full
of his dreams,
but now
it’s unclear
if any remain.
He thinks now
that they were built on sand,
sandcastles on the beach
to be carried away
on a storm tide,
or washed up
and buried
in the sand.
All that is clear
is the emptiness
of a long horizon.
