The Writer’s Challenge - by Veronica

Break the sound barrier. Revel like a madwoman in the
noisiness. Bask like a lizard in the heat of the
noisiness. Bask in the pleasure of creating
sentences. Bring the sentences together to form
meaning. The meaning should reflect your meaning, for
I cannot trust you if your words do not bring you
some secret thrill or make your heart skip a beat.

A compass that will not fail.
We are, I am, deluged in so much information
That my mind is short circuiting all over the place.
Sparks are igniting fires everywhere. read more...

Cameron appeared before the shepherds like a
glittering, opalescent myth. Pearly white and
well-lit from the blazing florescent lights, and
glowing like a dawn-bringing ether, the pale
canary-yellow tendrils of his curled mane rustled
softly in the light breeze from the air conditioning
and his skin-coated in rhinestones of sweat-glistened

Bobo, the clown, walks in and sits down.
He cornrows his hair and looks at the ground
His shoes are too big
They stomp on his hat

There is no room now for the tears from my cries!"read more...

Diner at The Bowling Alley - by Zahra Lipson

A constant state, sort of addiction, this waiting.

and our desperate sun, incongruous gem, beats its unwanted optimism.read more...
