Summer-into-Fall Prose. Wrap-up Challenge
In five haikus, tell a story about the cycle of life. Start with being born, then so forth. Because this is absorbing the entirety of all Prose. Challenges until October's start, we're giving the winner $250. Winner is decided by a combination of likes, and our panel. And...Go.
blood -> feeling -> self -> being -> ending
you are born in blood
and cry for something unnamed
yearning for soft love
your emotions are
too big for your body, and
you want to catch up
but young adulthood
brings loneliness in u-hauls
and loved ones fading
is this life? just change
and love and loss and feeling
so much you might die?
and then death arrives
so gently, and carries you
back to your old room
