Monique’s Unique Prose Technique, (can be found in her Boutique of Words)

How do you find your pitch?

how do you tune your craft?

you stretch it,

is strongest

just before it snaps

taut

can snap,

hurt yourself or someone else

take a guitar

loosen it,

tighten it

interesting sound - 

loose

try tightening at extreme end of

loose,

razor’s edge of the extreme side

loose sound

repulses,

even sickens the ear

too tight,

high pitched

annoying,

unpleasant to the ear

painful even

somewhere in between

is 

scale of possibilities,

but not as difficult as

looking for a needle in a haystack

you can find that spot by

turning it like a jeweler

looking for the right place

to cleave a rough ruby stone

somewhere 

some Point

is Exactness

Not must be,

but rather:

Is a Perfect Point

not indefinite or relative -

Perfect.

Here’s an illustrious example:

Anyone can reach into scrambled letters and try to play the game

or dip a spoon into a bowl of alphabet soup

not as fun or neat as SRABBLE

but the result is a jumble of edible letters

not bad if you’re hungry

What is the probability that the letters will fall in the right order to spell

any meaningful word other than the definite article, a

or abe, or abraham, or metaphor?” (or capitalization?)

would you choke if you dipped your spoon into the soup, pulled it out 

and just before you put it in your mouth saw the word idiom?

spoon not being large enough for elaboration or quizzical

so it is for us authors,

create,

creation,

creativity

does not happen by itself

intelligence

must intervene

introduced into a closed system

Here’s our moment to undo the disrespect of the idea of a chemical primordial soup having created us humans in our search for extraterrestrial letters. 

Letters can fall from the sky you know, in the form of ethereal air like entities, sometimes referred to as epiphanies.

If alphabet soup can create simple or complex words then I am persuaded to believe that words can put themselves together, (which means that alphabet soup is endowed with intelligence, mmmmm goood.

I can see the blockbuster near you:

Invasion of the Alpha  Bets, Aliens from Andromeda, Starring Charleston Heston

Out of the milieu of primordial soup, vowels combined with consonants, microwave radiation, (form of lightning), leaked into the bowls of unsuspecting hominids, excited the atoms of the soup to create heat energy and behold: The Word(s).

Musical Score by: Lady La La La

What is the next step in the sequence of intelligent form and advancement to the creation of a word from a letter? 

Letter?

Is it sentence?

Intelligence forms sentence and much

Much more

that would be you and me

fellow authors

From one end to the other, outside of the ends

of the string in Monica’s boutique

of words

in her soul

lies no sound

but fuzzy logic

string theory sound

Ultrasound 

is soundless to humans

only machines and

some animals can recieve its

soundwaves to register

We may or may not be looking for a needle

but looking for one is almost

necessary if we are to produce exemplary 

written work

have any of you ever looked for a dust mite

under a haystack when writing?

From one end of our string to the other lies

the perfect frequency note, phoneme, word, sentence, paragraph, poem, novel, 

No sound at all

It takes a strum from an outside agent 

a mind, a will and a scribbler with a 

scribbing instrument

such as pencil,

or electronic device, 

cell phone, word processor

of one kind or another

until we find it

the 

Perfect Piece
