Welcome to #PoeticalCondition's Fourth Bi-monthly Prompt! I hope you are feeling creative.
This weeks prompt is: "The Poetical Condition" - Write a poem about your personal interpretation of what the 'poetical condition' is to you (not about the group).
Prompt is totally up to personal interpretation.
Please be sure to submit your work to the "Prompt" folder, and include the group name and current prompt in your author's comment.
This prompt will run until Feb. 11th. At that time we will post a new one.
