weeds pulled and the dirt fed

i let the clover grow

and the vine it crushes the overlap

where the brush meets things man-made

the end of the green meets the beginning of blue

or brown

or dark of night

so, i let the clover grow

i let the clover grow, and the field does not suffer for it

the grass does not pay a price

and the sun shines down with plenty --

where i let the clover grow

Premiering now: In number seventeen from Prose. Radio, Jane's Addiction sees the ocean break on the shore, while in the city a group of writers from the site bring it back to soil with each of their own literary footprints.

Here's the link to the show:

I want someone to fill the void inside me

Pour milk down my throat while you

Stand there and lie to me

Sloshing around my organs,

It spoils inside of me

I discard the waste. I

Love that you lied to me

I can never stop loving you,

I can only stop trying

But you’re always on my mind

We were meant for me

Flowers upon flowers, by the hour

I message you my love, my love?

Can’t you feel my passion?

We were meant for me

Your eyes gleefully meet another’s—

I watch from afar, my heart

an internal alarm is telling me

We were meant for me…

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share that I'll be releasing a collection of short stories on February 1st. Many of the stories in this collection have been featured here, while others haven't. If anyone is interested, you can find it on Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CRQZTJM5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=CRDHZ7RB04E0&keywords=theres+gold+in+those+hills&qid=1704751382&sprefix=theres+gold+in+those+hill%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1

I'm pretty excited about this and I just wanted to thank The Prose community for being the major reason for this collection. Before I joined this community, my writing was directionlesss and you've help me find direction.

So, thanks everyone!

I love this piece, a beautifully written dark and light piece about a famous threshold unavoidable to us.

Here's the vid.

Thanks to all who entered my challenge. I truly enjoyed reading each imaginative and magical post.

This was an exciting, “win by likes” race; we even had a three-way tie for a bit. However, Huckleberry Hoo and Rhiannon3 just barely got edged out at the end by Misschevivon.

Congratulations!

Thanks again, all you beautiful wordsmiths. I hope to see you again soon in my next challenge <3
