Weekly Scribblings #85: “Take Care of your body”

Greetings, dear poets and storytellers. I’ve spent the last few weeks discussing nutrition and fitness with my Crohn’s disease group. So, a prompt that focuses on flesh and bones and such felt just right. With that in mind, I invite you to write poetry or prose inspired by the following Jim Rohn’s quote: “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” Feel free to use the phrase literally or figuratively.

As always, this prompt shall remain open for a week. We welcome fiction and nonfiction, short and long(ish) pieces—if you go for prose, let the word count be 369 words or fewer. Please add the direct link to your contribution. After you share your words, please take a moment to visit other poets and storytellers, and share your thought-filled comments on their words. Significantly rewritten poetry and prose are also welcomed. 


Let us delight in this week’s body of words.

    1. I love your yummy poem, Helen. I've shared it with my MIL. I'm hoping that your attitude gives her a boost.
