Aqueous Eyes
I stand silently
as sinews of sibilant sounds
seek release
from pin pricked lingering light
in shriveled womb
of yesterday, tiptoeing
through stagnant stillness
of waveless waters.
Vibrations violate
pristine peaceful vapors
as loneliness lingers
with absentee light.
Aqueous eyes ache
in abject aloneness.
Life’s puzzles loom
as they linger
mesmerizing
the bold moon, waning
immersed in the halo
of daunting truth
reflecting fleetingly
on fallen fallow seeds.
Tangled trails wind
ethereal shadows
of thorns, unraveled
aisles leading nowhere
seagulls screech
taunting tales in dirges
Death dives deeply, delving
into expressionless existence.
Monday Motivation: Prose Challenge of the Month
Good morning, Prosers,
For this week’s Monday Motivation we are bringing you a brand-new challenge.
This will be a monthly challenge, aptly named, Prose Challenge of the Month.
Each month, we will set you all a prompt within a Portal of our choosing. We then give you the entire duration of the challenge to create your literary splendor. After the challenge expires, the team will then take a look at specific data - number of reads, likes, reposts, and comments - along with reading the entries to ensure superior content. From there, we will choose 15 pieces to be included in our new Prose Book of the Month. These books will be made up of your content, and will be sold on Prose for 250 coins. To find out whether your entry made it, you will have to grab yourself a copy.
So, what do you get in return?
If you are one of the lucky 15, you will receive 5% royalties for the lifetime of the book. This means non-Partners can also earn themselves some Prose coin, as anyone can enter. We think this is a new, quick, easy, and exciting way to become a published, professional author, and what better way to do that than with Prose‽
Let’s take a look at the first Challenge of the Month of many:
Prose Challenge of the Month #1: Write about losing your innocence. Fifteen entries will be featured in a Prose Original Book of the Month, whereby each winner will take 5% lifetime royalties. You must purchase the book to discover its authors, who will be determined by objective data (reads, likes, reposts, comments) and by team vote to ensure reader satisfaction. When sharing to social media, please use the hashtags “itslit,” “getlit,” and “ProseChallenge.”
Share your lost innocence with us, now.
What better Monday Motivation than a brand-new challenge and a way to earn money and bragging rights when you become a professional author?
Until next time, Prosers,
Prose.
