Writing Challenge # 19
 

Ok... the experiment last week did not go as planned as the suggesters did not post(!!! :P)

For this week... using the pictures below as food for thought, and 2 because I couldn't choose, use any writing style you choose :














Good luck... I look forward to seeing what transpires this week

"I've had enough of this. It's not like anyone pays attention to me anyway. God, life is boring ... just standing around doing nothing all day. Look at them. Mocking me. I can't believe that they're winking at me. Who do they think I am? All day long looking at the same old stuff. Why doesn't anything interesting happen to me? What I wouldn't give to be a traffic light. You know what? Screw this ... I'm just gonna lay down right here in the street and watch the aurora for a while. Yeah ... that's nice."

STOP

your smile hurts
it tears my heart
and I bleed

your whisper harms
it hurts my soul
and I cry

my whole soul
begs you to stop
as I weep

but don't stop.

Stop’s supine,
I wonder why?

Were they high?
did someone die?

Now stop’s a go,
with screams of NO!

Not enough dough
for stop to show

There was a plan
to have a man

To come and stand,
with flag in hand

But you know how,
they all avow

With furrowed brow
to fix, somehow

but we all know
that it’s a joke

Too much blow,
the city’s broke!

I sit here staring at that picture and I haven't the slightest thing to say! I mean I am looking straight into the two most mezmerizing features of nature: a volcanic eruption and an aura borealis--and I haven't anything to say! I have started and ended a piece about loosing one home to only gain another--ended being the primary word. Walking away, standing akimbo, even staring at it upside-down has no effect to draw forth a Kumalo like dialogue about a country lost and a place in heaven found.

I have never once seen the northern lights. Some believe that the lights are the souls of the dead that are crossing the earth for the last time before entering the next world. And I still haven't witnessed one of the most spectacular events... I have been preset but some are too thoughtless to wake me when the lights begin.

Why can't I write?! Answer me!

The stop sign told you not to.

For years we are told to obey the signs
Yield, no turns, stay right
I seem to be the kind of human
In whom all obeyance takes flight
I know when to yield
I know when to go
But something inside always tells me
No
Today is no different as I see all the signs
Rebellion is ingrained it seems
As I speed along life's highway
And take in the sights
I ram down the signs in my dreams

Do you see the fire in the sky--the fire over the land? Be them, be the force to be reckoned with. When you become the fires, you are unstoppable.

(^ Weak, I know)

I really like the "I ram down the signs in my dreams" Ngdawg. Reminds me of "Limits are for people with no imagination... that includes traffic signals."

The paradox of nature
The occurance of duality
Small and large expressions
To remind us
This is the magic and essence
Of life

Place good song lyrics here

Gee, Daoust...seems familiar :hmm:

Got anything original?

SO there are some 5 Man Electrical Band fans on TFP after all... :rolleyes

Original? Me?

In awe of the powers of nature
Her colors assault the eye with loving fury
No imagination can match the moments
When a muse of the universe
Decides to paint

The bumps in the curvy road
sometimes take you for a flip
it is only when you look back
to find undeniably clear
all the warning signs
lying trampled in the dust


Hidden in shadows deep
only the power is revealed
invisible hands deftly work
streams of color boil of life
a new world to remake anew
secret smiles at the changes
While the world knows not
how soon it will end
