Welcome to The Daily Aftershock Writing Prompt—a daily invitation to write from the edges of aftermath, memory, rupture, and repair.
Each day, you'll receive a short, charged prompt designed to crack something open. There are no rules—only resonance. Use these however you need: to begin a poem, to open your diary, to find your voice again.
The Aftershock Review is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Today’s prompt asks you to describe grief as a weather system.
Do this exercise without thinking, just free-write, free-associate phrases and words to do with grief and weather.
Does it spit? Does it pour? Is it a hurricane? Is it flood?
Perhaps from that prompt you'll come up with bare bones for a poem or perhaps little phrases that you can use in your future writing.
