Challenge
Write a meaningless poem-- one that transcends meaning to touch the rotten emotional core of the self.
Out of the Dust and the Shadows, I Come
Trying to put a groan into words is like walking
along and hearing the sound of THE TRUMPET, but not
knowing where the sound is from, not knowing which way
to turn for the exit in the middle of a
fire. A hopelessness and helplessness overtakes you and you are
left with the base, raw emotion that pushes you to
react. You fight with everything that you have to death
or life. You run blindly, not knowing whether you are
on the way to danger or away from it. You
freeze and let evil overtake you to your utter doom.
After all is said and done, you rise, something new.
No, I didn’t say something bad or good, but Different.
