Write a poem or story without conflict. -Anonymous

The sun is shining
The grass is green
The sky is blue
It looks like a movie scene
You lay out a blanket
I lay next to you
And for those few hours
I've not a care in the world
Surrounded by flowers
Breathing in the sweet fresh air
My fears melt away
My worries are gone
How is it that your arm around my shoulders
Can make me feel so strong
It's like with your presence
There is absolutely no conflict
Some might say it's boring
But I
I'll keep on adoring
You and your strong arms
That keep me away from conflict

Stars blazed in the night sky.

Stars blazed in the night sky
I stare up at them and can’t help but wonder why
Why are we so small and insignificant
When the universe is so vast
Why does life go by so quickly
Why do the good parts never last

Stars blazed in the night sky
My vision blurs as I start to cry
The bright and dark start to mix
Until the sky is blotches of black and white
The dark isn’t as consuming
When you can see the light

Stars blazed in the night sky
I stare up at them and start to understand why
We may be insignificant 
But if we can mix the dark
Our lives won’t be as useless
In the hearts where we spark

The story of a scar.
https://thewritepractice.com/short-story-ideas/

TW: Physical and mental abuse

My nephew sits before me
And he stares down at my thigh.
He runs a ringer along the line
And all he says is “why?”
The memories start to return,
Coming back through years.
I give him a small smile.
My eyes are shining behind tears.
“Alright let me tell you.
Sit down, don’t go far.
Let me share with you
The story of this scar.

“Young walruses, we must all adapt!” begins Matthew Olzmann’s “Commencement Speech, Delivered to a Herd of Walrus Calves,” published in Four Way Review. In the poem, as the title reveals, a speaker offers advice to a herd of walruses on courage, evolution, and survival: “You need to train yourself to do what they won’t expect.” Write a poem in the form of a speech addressed to a group of animals or objects that offers advice and encouragement for challenges only the subject could encounter. Try to use the title, as Olzmann does, to set the scene and the tone for the poem. https://www.pw.org/content/commencement

I have a word to give to you:
Hold them fast and hold them true.
For as a blanket your job is sure,
Be strong and sturdy forever more.
First of all it’s pretty easy:
Be soft and warm and rather breezy.
Bring comfort to the home you serve,
And your title you’ll deserve.
Next is one you must obey:
You can never knot or tear or fray.
For as a blanket your job is sure,
Be strong and sturdy forever more.
Last on the list is most rough:
You have to be there when times are tough.
Be right there and be alright
To keep them there throughout the night.
Hold their head and dry their tears.
Protect them from all their fears.
For as a blanket your job is sure,
Be strong and sturdy forever more.
