Challenge
This is the hill…
Everyone has a hill they are willing to die on. Tell what yours is and why in any way you choose— poetry or prose. It can be deeply thought-provoking or just wonderfully silly nonsense. No limits here. Best entry gets $5 and two runners-up will get something as well :)
One-Way Hills
I only climb uphill
On only the uphills
I never go downhill
On any of the uphills
Not yet
Why do hills only go up?
What lies on the other side?
When does an uphill become a downhill?
When does something's upside become its downside?
Don't ask
I pass a fool named Sisyphus
Who uses my uphill to fall downhill
Cursing his stupid downhill rock
Oncoming traffic is an offensive myth
And a mortal sin
We begin to die when we're born
So reckoned by the size of our hills
And living becomes dying
When our uphills deceive us downhill
Sisyphus was right
