Breathe in. Count to five.
Breathe out, and now count to ten.
Breathe deep. Let it go.

The Cracked Teacup
It's time for the first Author Avengers piece of the year! This month's prompt was selected by Author Avengers founder, Lou Yardley: A broken teacup, carefully mended with gold, becomes a symbol of resilience and hope. Due to some time and energy constraints this month, I opted for some free verse poetry over a prose piece.

He Loved Her...
Can't speak yet she hasn't forgotten how to think Can't feel yet she still knows what is real Cornered she just cowers Tallying the hours until she's free Struggling in darkness to find the key's grace That will relieve her from this suffocating embrace

Simple yet a much needed reminder! It’s been such a busy day 😮💨
Ha, I just talked about the importance of breathing in managing emotions in my media literacy class today. I usually do a shorter version: breathe in on slow count of 3, breathe out on 5. But obviously, the deeper the better.
Was this inspired by Poppy's prompt? Love it!
This was much needed…and effective!
