Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.

Man of Words
I'm a man of few words.
But when I speak, I want my words to count.
So, I think deeply about what to say,
How to express my thoughts in the best way.
Then I take out my paintbrush—-the keyboard—
And dip into the well of my heart.
Using the precious pigments of pain, joy, and hope,
I trace an outline of thought.
Combining light and darkness,
I create shades of meaning.
My subject is sometimes obvious.
But, often I use the background
To draw one's eye to the subject.
My subject sometimes lies in rhythm and rhyme,
Sometimes in fantasy and lore,
Sometimes in pontification.
Yet, every pixelated word, every crafted line,
Seeks to inspire, to motivate, to heal.
