Theme to Use: What Does Freedom Mean to You
Form to use: short story or poem
Directions
June begins our journey into the outdoors. Each step into the wild gives us a sense of freedom. Free from life’s chaos. With volume III, let’s center on the theme, “What does freedom mean to you?”
Is it:
- World Peace,
- Wars won,
- Enjoying the outdoors with friends or family,
- Journey through nature,
- Life on the Beach,
- Freedom in your relationship with God,
- Travel or Vacation,
- Fighting tyranny,
- or living life how you see fit?
Or, maybe it’s something else which you consider freedom. No matter what it may be, submit your piece and let us see what freedom is to you.
