💐 This week, using the painting as your inspiration, please write either a syllabic poetry form or a freestyle poem, including a syllabic form (both on the same post). 💐

art in my skewed view

dotted paints spread all around

his scene created

though critics may stare fondly

I prefer art more defined

Simply Six Minutes – Whew!

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

“I told you it would work! Can you believe it?” Joe was dancing around on the grassy meadow as he and Mike watched the mechanical bird soar higher and higher.

“How high you think it’ll go? asked Mike, who had been dubious about the success of this project from the start.

“Geez, I don’t know. I never thought it would actually fly!” Then Joe began to worry because the bird kept reaching further up in the sky. “Oh my god, I never thought it might go that high! What if a plane collided with it? What if it gets caught in an engine and causes a crash?”

The two boys’ faces turned white and they hightailed it out of the meadow, got on their bikes and headed home. Their parents thought it strange they listened to the news that night and even read the next morning’s paper. At school, they avoided each other but no bad news had been reported.

Greg’s 5 Word Challenge

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized


Weaver, spin your yarn
Drive it always on your spindle to
Clobber up the hateful words,
Hopefully cause them all to dwindle
Indeed, use it as a salvo for the hurtful rhetoric—their daily whinecausing fears
They care not for humanity and assume everything is theirs.

Batter Up!

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
The sun in the equinox shone bright on the pitcher’s new uniform. He was undecided about how the vivid woodpecker colors looked, but knew they were good for tv cameras. And having a woodpecker on a branch as a symbol? Well maybe it wouldn’t live up to the animated cartoon character, but decided to see it as a strong determined icon. He couldn’t prolong the new look’s debut any longer, so organized himself, took off the hooded sweatshirt, and decided to stride out to the pitcher’s mound, showing pride as he acquainted himself with a new batter.
