Why I am here...
Be honest, write whatever comes to mind. Poetry only please. Tag me @demcmurphy so I can read your work.

Magic

When fish fly,

When birds swim,

When people ride clouds,

When the moon is the earth,

When trees turn blue,

When the sky is water,

Magic happens.

Challenge of the Week XCVI
Goosebumps. It's that time of year. The genre is horror. Write something scary, something spooky, something that sends chills down the spine, causes goosebumps to prickle your reader's skin. There's a catch. This week you will write the first part of a two-part piece. Next week you'll finish the story you started. This week we're looking for a great start to the story. Next week we'll be looking for a strong finish. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Darkness is nothing to Fear

All our fears,

Are because of the dark

If the lights are out,

That does not change anything

Forget the dark

Forget your fears

clock poem
Wright a poem with a strong rhythm EXAMPLE BY SUZANNE COLLINS(in book 5 of underland chronicles) : The war has been declared, Your ally been ensnared. It is now or it is never. Break the code or die forever. Time is running out Running out Running out. To the warrior give my blade. By his hand your fate is made. But do not forget the ticking Or the clicking, clicking, clicking. While a rat's tongue may be flicking, With its feet it does the tricking. For the paw and not the jaw Makes the Code of Claw. Time is standing still Standing still Standing still. Since the princess is the key To unlock the treachery, She cannot avoid the matching Or the scratching, scratching, scratching. When a secret plot is hatching, In the naming is the catching. What she saw, it is the flaw Of the Code of Claw. Time is turning back Turning back Turning back. When the monster's blood is spilled, When the warrior has been killed, You must not ignore the rapping, Or the tapping, tapping, tapping. If the gnawers find you napping, You will rot while they are mapping Out the law of those who gnaw In the Code of Claw.

Wind

My Friend

The wind

That is

Not a hurricane

It is not okay to say that it is

A storm

It is

Your friend

It is not

An enemy

The wind

Just want to just wright about anything? hear is your chance!!!

water

Crystal clear or ocean blue,

Seaweed green and brownish too.

The tiny fish dart around like planes

Two start to race but neither gains.

But down below the water is black,

So dark and deep I want to turn back.

What is down and what is up?

I feel like this is all setup.

Then from the gloom I see a flash!

Then the water is dark as ash.

Suddenly it comes back so bright I hurled,

tiny fish now light up the world!

Such beauty is in this abyss,

This is something I could never miss!

Glittering jewels make up everything!

All these gemstones would make lots of bling.

So now you know the beauty of the water,

Please do not make it something you will slaughter.

Write about the concepts of intolerance (unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own) and coexistence (the state or condition of living in harmony despite different ideologies or interests). Take a situation from your own life experience and tell way and how you chose to exercise one or both of these two life paths. $10 prize Non-fiction. Any format.
Mass tagging results on automatic disqualification.

Intolerable

Intolerance,

Flat refusal,

Denial,

Are all the same.

You get one

You get them all

It can be a kid denying that he ate candy

Or it can be a criminal who refuses to admit to a crime

Either way

It is part of all of us

We have all refused something

Do not deny it

You may not remember it

But you have

It is human nature

It is normal

So keep living

We are all intolerable in a way
