Challenge
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.
Stages
After nine short months,
we emerge, naked and small...
welcome to the world!
Years of rapid growth
bring us into puberty...
where we know it all!
Our maturity
achieved, but at our own pace...
then we multiply!
Elders we become,
wisdom gained by blood and tears...
souls, though scarred, shine bright!
Finally we reach
the clearing beyond the path...
welcomed home, by God!
