Welcome to Day 24 of the 2012 April Write – the Poets Jubilee Olympiad.
Today is another of our visual days and I’m really excited to introduce you to our Guest Host, 2nd year April Writer, Marina Bayley and her painting.
As today is a visual prompt, please watch the video to find out more about her and view her painting as the music plays, to write whatever it conjures up inside you as you look at it.

“Stronger Than You Know”

The April Write 
Katie Rendon
Do not underestimate me.
I am stronger than you know,
More than you can see,
More than I let show.

STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW
When I look at you…
I see your quiet strength inside
But, I also see the battles you have faced
Etched in deep lines…
When I look at you…
I see your contemplation
Your deep thought held in repose
But, where has your joy gone?
When I look at you…
I see your golden butterfly wings
And I realise you’ve transformed
And this… is the very moment before your rebirth.
When I look at you…
I know when you open your eyes
When you stand up tall and straight
You’ll be ready to face the world…
Wiser… because you are stronger than you know.
