Waiting

I quietly hope

I will be the one to tame

Your capricious heart

in absentia

being with someone

not fully present is worse

than being alone

Prose

Jeff Buckley’s angelic ghost, rusting in circles, and hellfire waiting.

Our eleventh show on Prose. Radio was spawned by the music of Buckley, but, it was led on from TheWolfeDen's Challenge, then into a touch of hellfire and something waiting to, well, shine, in his own way...

Hear the two pieces here.

Let's get this week to the weekend, where a stiff drink awaits...

And.

As always...

Thank you for being here.

Metallica’s poetry, Kafka’s floating cage, bathed in sunlight, and amputational karma.

In our tenth broadcast on Prose. Radio, we dive into forms colliding to form a formidable form from the form formidable first. Thank the coffee for that one. But, on the show, Last leads first, and then a doctor of an exact mark of punctuation closes the broadcast with a piece leaving you lighter, yet heavier. You'll have to hear it.

Always loved sound influencing the page, or maybe just moving it along differently.

Here's the link to the show, and we'll leave the pieces and writers in the comments.

As always.

Mirror

Spiral downward into my world beneath the surface

Dig deeper and you’ll see my soul

Barren and old

Weary and cold

And already sold

So you see, I only care about the money

And not the world in which my greed is causing suffering

Of the Earth

And it’s people.

And I’ll be sent into a downward spiral if you try to tell me we are equal.

It would be unwise

My mind is closed and so are my eyes.

Who Erm I?

There are days

I don't connect

With myself

Not

In the

Questioning my existence

Vein

Because

That's different

And normal

But

In the

Am I

Being true

To myself

Way

Which is smaller

And less

Significant

But bigger

And

More poignant

Yet

The answer

Is in the question

Because

I asked

Who Erm I?

Instead

Of

Who

Am

I

Challenge
The end is near

winding down--

I hear the repetitive tick of the clock

As I lay dying,

And I can feel

That the eternal abyss

Which is so highly praised,

Becomes near.

Winner of I rear-ended His car challenge

Wow, contributors were among some of my favorite writers and some I'm unfamiliar with, who are on their way to get on that list!

The prompt was addressed SO CREATIVELY by everyone. Thanks to @Huckleberry_Hoo, @dctezcan, @tolstyka, @svsrikanth, @TheJovialWriter, @Shallowgenepool, @writer_a_nel, @aflalo22, @yousufrizvi4, @kateresa, @Furaha, and @RamonElCamino.

Tough call. These covered probably every snarky angle of interacting with UNOHOO. The one that I liked the best (but barely above each and every unique and clever one) was @7v7's Now Here's a Sucker.

"You have home insurance, too?"

"Yes. It's required." I don't know why I answered.

"And life insurance?"

"--uh that's optional."

"Our agent will be calling."

"I'm sorry--wha?!"

Subtle but hilarious. Thanks to all. Now I have to figure out how to select the winner and mark it officially.

Awestruck

Foreseen the totality

Fortune Cookie Fun!
Fortune cookies may not actually be authentically Chinese (a fun curiosity that likely originated with a Japanese family in San Francisco) but…they are still fun & exciting to open! Write me a fortune in 15 words or less. If you can, include some alliteration.
