The Hungover Poems
Been some time since I've posted on my own profile and not as Prose., but I wanted to post something from here and tag some writers, because I want to start getting back to my own shit. I need to write more, or just plain out start writing again. Prose. is a labor of love, so that's great, but no matter what, I need to write. Realized today I haven't even posted to my own channel in ages, and it worked out, because I didn't want to post my work on The Prose. Channel, because I like to keep that for the writers aside from me, and my voice and big, fat face on the channel is enough from me, without reading my own work, too. Holy fuck, I couldn't even watch that...
Been on this gnarly but satisfying carnivore diet the last couple of months or just less, and yesterday was an all-Hell-breaks-loose day. Beer, whiskey, bread, name it... paying the fiddler now. I'm sure he's thrilled. He's an asshole.
As myself, I want to thank you for being on Prose., and for being so generous with the work you give to it. Every day I read something great on here. So much talent in one place, and I think back to when it was just an idea stemming from another hangover, in the heat of a Texas afternoon, where I happened to find myself in that particular moment in time. Looking at Prose. now, it's very humbling, and I am grateful to you.
Alright, enough mushy feelings and shit. Here's a link to my own channel and some poems from here, but also appearing in a book of mine, set to release in the near future.
Thanks again.
-Jeff.

A robbery toward Mexico, Challenge of the Week number 230, a touch of Black, and two cents for the taking or leaving.
Hello, Writers and Dear Readers.
It's time for the new CotW, number 230, and we kept it as wide open as almost possible... Oh, and the new video is out to feature last week's winner, the honorable mention, and somewhere in that order is a new writer here on the site, Eddie Black.
Here's the link to Challenge of the Week CCXXX, and holding it up with double-spaced mind tricks is the link to the YouTube vid.

Blood and Barcelona
Hello, Writers and Dear Readers.
Hope your week has started off metal as possible, or classical as possible, or new wave as possible, or... Look, I couldn't think of a way to start off this post to introduce a 41-second poem on the channel. But we thought it would be cool to change it up once in awhile. Plus, I got this badass new webcam I wanted to test drive. Anyway, here's the link.

Loud (r)Love(327) and a Moon of Assisted Suicide...
Hello, Writers and Dear Readers.
On the channel today, we feature a tie for first in last week's challenge, and announce Challenge of the Week CCXXIX, which is linked just below this small paragraph, which will technically consist of four lines, because four lines just adds up on this hot and bright summer Thursday. Hope you sexy-minded beasts are keeping cool.

Buddha and Bikers and Coffee: In a Bathtub of Gin.
Hello, Writers and Dear Readers.
Happy Saturday, fam. In today's video, we lazily cast a net into the the waters of Prose., and reel in a haul refulgent with beautiful brains of madness and gorgeousness. Just a mellow morning of reading these greats with coffee and the hum of possiblity.
There is nothing finer.
Featured and flounced before you, and waiting at the end of this sentence, is the link to the channel.

100 posts (Show and Tell)
violence
sadness
and some more of both
led me down a path
i never thought i'd go
comment after comment
some praise, some funny
to think i'd do all this work
and not care if i made money
to balance around school
to make sure that i write
but to work on what I love
always feels just right
to type out all my fears
and fantasies, and tears
my deep dark thoughts
that i hide from everyone else
i can show them off here
like a game of show and tell
so 100 posts later
and then 100 posts more
i'll keep writing the sadness
and horror, and gore
and so much more
Sore and Confused in a Barn, a Compact Enigma, and our Apples of Discord.
Hello, Writers and Dear Readers.
We are proud to announce our new method for picking our poison, so check the YouTube video beneath the link for our Challenge of the Week CCXXVI right after this message. In today's video, we congratulate last week's winner, who wrote a hell of a piece to take her fella out to lunch, should she decide to do so.
-Hope your long weekend means a short hangover.
