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.
Thoughts.
the idea germinates
flickering alive inside
the process begins
it spins angrily
into the irrational
fear with no object
the tendrils take hold
robbing their host of silence
intrusive thoughts dwell
reaching an apex
the victim grasps for logic
pulling wisdom back
anxiousness retreats
slinking into the shadows
until tomorrow
