Challenge
Summer-into-Fall Prose. Wrap-up Challenge
In five haikus, tell a story about the cycle of life. Start with being born, then so forth. Because this is absorbing the entirety of all Prose. Challenges until October's start, we're giving the winner $250. Winner is decided by a combination of likes, and our panel. And...Go.
85 Syllables at the Speed of Life
Umbilical cords
Laid end-to-end to my start
Spawn me from the stars
Two of us-in-one
With one of we-two in tow
Weave a tangled web
Life is to live large:
Be, love, thrill, laugh, cry... repeat
Effloresce the web
Crossing strands will stick
With only those, worth unto
Two-in-one, again
Till dust do us part
Outliving even ourselves
Thence back to the stars
