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.
The Wrapped
fallen in the grass
necklace of the flock unclasped
warm beads flowing south
lattice clouds streaming
sizzling of the canvas,
branded by shadows
ice blue purple limbs,
braided extensions, lime buds
in strange communion
the harvest proving
not all blossoms are champagne
red and white flurries
potpourri sachets
and bonfire lit reflections
glancing north again
