Riding the Emotional Wave

Transcribe your emotions into stanzas, beginning with the initial pain and ending with peace or acceptance.

Your feelings of heartbreak can be compared to an intense storm, crashing waves of pain and sadness against the shoreline of your soul. Use this storm metaphor to portray your feelings, starting with the initial thunderbolt of heartbreak, then riding through the torrential “rain” of tears, and finally emerging into the calm after the storm. Explore how these emotions transition and interact with each other. How was the storm weathered, and what did you learn from it?
