Old and used

I don’t mind them brand new, but I actually prefer when they are old and used. I just can't get enough of that smell.

Ode to an Old Book (and Honest Love)

Your wrinkles,

worn, like chasms

borne with time

and unique expression,

draw me in deeper,

closer to you, because

I know, I know

those canyons were etched

by light itself

Challenge

Color of the sky

So the challenge is all about the shades of the sky; describe one particular shade, for say, pink and write stuffs which you felt while you were under the pink shaded roof or how the sphere felt. Anything goes! Let your words rain my barren land.

Blended skies.

Indigo dusks

seep

into apricot dawns

azure skies

drip

into tourquoise

seas

A gradation of colour

brushed across the sky

A canvas of colour

blends before your eyes.

Challenge

$50 prize. What does it mean to be a good writer? Does good writing even matter, or have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok etc. turned us into mindless, unsophisticated zombies who no longer care for grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, or creativity?

$50 to the author of whichever post I find most insightful.

Writing A Dance.

A good read is an enchanting ballet. The dancer leaps and spins around the stage, imprinting a story in our minds. The audience watches the artist twirl on stage but it is the heart that remembers the tale. The stacatto rythm makes our souls dance with the dancer, and every perfect detail is a punctuation, ending an emotion and starting a new one in one swift movement. The words of a good writer will haunt you forever.

An easy read is a Tiktok dance. The movement and music is attractive to the eye but it doesn't invite love, only lust. A quick fix, and a quick fix is needed indeed, for the masses have no time. There is still creativity and punctuation, but there's no soul.

Challenge

guess the character

pick a fictional character and write a piece about them, giving clues about their identity throughout the piece but not explicitly giving away who they are. and just for fun, try to guess which character is being written about in the comments!

A genius

Worlds can't hold me,

dimensions can't bind me,

I am the brain, not the brawn

but that's okay...

Aged I may be, no worries,

I have back ups.

To back up life is wise in case you lose a family or two.

inspite of all the tech, the yellow tick will follow me always.

This parasitic relationship makes the show.

The Bench

Rain soaked tears. The ring on a bench. It was love, just not for me.

Deep as a half filled glass

The term good writer is so vauge as to be impossible to define. If grammer is vital, then was Shakespere an embarassingly bad writer? If puncuation is key, why is it so easily disregarded for the sake of style? If vocabulary is important, why do paragraphs stuffed with large words and obsure phrases bore us to tears?

A bad writer is easily found. The only persistent mark of a good writer is sheer grit.
