Writer Wednesday

Good morning, Prosers,

This feature focuses on the wonderful words coming from our Poets in Prison contributors. Some of you may not be aware of this initiative yet, but by the end of this post you will be!

Each and every Wednesday, Sammie and Paul visit prison and teach creative writing to the residents there. We then bring their words to Prose and post them in the Letters from Prison Portal where members of the Prose community comment on them, providing much needed support and feedback which we then take back into prison and share with the residents.

This program has provided the inmates with a much-needed release whilst improving their spelling, grammar, self-confidence, and has had a profound effect on their mental health, too.

This new weekly feature is to celebrate some of the cracking words that escape the bars and make their way onto Prose.

Hell have no fury like a man

Clad in his own skin

Stepping closer to

His demon within

From: His Demon Within

You were a harbour of my passion

An armoury held to discipline

Leave me, else I falter in your presence

You fan the flames

Of my obsession

~@fifty

From: Emotion Forsaken

A touch, a kiss

Passion and bliss

Love making so needed

My body’s responses heeded

Until next Wednesday, Prosers,
