Writing Prompt adapted from pages 135-140 of Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-making Recognizing the Essence of Your Partner

Take time to think and write about your husband, wife, lover or anyone who is beloved by you.

What struggles do they face? What do you experience in seeing them suffer? Contemplate the qualities of this loved one and what they most enjoy about life. What do they bring to your relationship through their essential traits and gifts?

How does their presence in your life affect how you experience the world around you? Engage
your imagination when you think and write about your partner and describe them from a wider, metaphoric perspective.
