...from a certain popular Disney/Pixar movie.
Which of course you can write about if you would like to.
Funnily enough, though, I didn't have an instinctive response to this prompt. Nothing that immediately came to mind. So I had to think. And here is my question to help you:
What is inside you (thoughts, feelings etc) that should be out to the world, but aren't? Do you have anything inside you that is out, but that you didn't want to be? Or maybe you are relieved that these 'inside' feelings are finally 'out'?
Suggested forms
A sonnet comes to mind, thanks to the volta (or 'turn') at line 8, which marks the turning point between one set of ideas and another.
Word prompts
open
secret
introspective
reveal
discover
For an alternative take on 'inside out', here's Groucho Marx:
Happy writing!

From the life lessons... diary
ReplyDeleteNumerous problems that could be prevented if caught on time ...so much pain and suffering could be alleviated... isolation and shame are the biggest challenges for getting help ....an attempt
Inside out
Many stories from inside count so many
dark secret like a locker in the dark
Words unsaid untold words
Deep trouble unchartedly deep
Hijack denial’s play monster hijack
Flaws rationalized like no flaw
With Shame isolation put to shame
Motion suspended depression in motion
Little listening caring a little
Small dose of empathy feel not small
Trust built around for all to trust
To lift the spirit respect added to
In trouble, shame and pain inside within
Open safe haven to keep heart open... sr
There is a rhythm to this poem. I heard a mental drumbeat while reading it, if that makes any kind of sense.
DeleteA thoughtful write Especially, the structure is amazing.
DeleteRushed work cannot gain brownie points...still have to finish the challenge..

Tried something different and special today. :D
ReplyDeleteInside Out
I love writing sonnets. I picked an Italian sonnet for today: Coming Out
ReplyDeleteDidn't use the prompt today. But the prompt did make me think of one of the "surplus" poems I've written for / in the course of OctPoWriMo, so I posted that instead.
ReplyDeleteAlso, day twenty-six. Wow. I thought I wouldn't see day five.
Title: "Murderess"
