Summer writing prompt:

 


At certain moments,
always unforeseen,
I become happy.
I look at the strangers near me
as if I had known them all my life.
Everything fills me with affection.
It may be an hour before the mood passes,
But latterly I seem to understand
That I enter upon it
The moment I cease to hate.

•  William Butler Yeats

 

Imagine Hate as a person.   How does he/ she look, dress, speak?   What might be her/his favorite song?  
How has Hate tricked you?   What kinds of troubles has Hate brought you?
What fills you with affection?
Have you ever met a stranger and felt like you knew him/her instantly?   Describe that experience.
