About This Author
Guten tag! My name is Jessica and I'm 19 years old. I obviously love to write; I have been writing since I was six years old, but I became an avid writer in sixth grade. I also love listening to music and studying history. I am obsessed with Civil War, World War II, Russian, Romanov, German, and Norweigan history. I listen to mostly metal, some country, and grunge.

Nan's Room
Today’s (optional) prompt is brought to us by the Emily Dickinson Museum. First, read this brief reminiscence of Emily Dickinson, written by her niece. And now, here is the prompt that the museum suggests:
Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s description of her aunt’s cozy room, scented with hyacinths and a crackling stove, warmly recalls the setting decades later. Describe a bedroom from your past in a series of descriptive paragraphs or a poem. It could be your childhood room, your grandmother’s room, a college dormitory or another significant space from your life.
Red oak furniture
given on her wedding day
held through seventy years.
Fresh made bed daily,
the finest, sofest white linen
ready for long nights.
We would go to bed
at a little after nine,
the walls absorb tears
of teenaged drama
and unrelenting bullies
she would cradle me,
silent listening
loudly pouring my heart out
and falling asleep.
Comfort in that room,
Nan's room was my safe space,
til she closed her eyes. |
