Lying in the grass

Near the shady trees

I hear a voice from the dark

Calling out to me

It sounds like my death

 

Written in a bubble above an image of a young lad lying in a grassy field, this image, covering a whole page, intrigued the boy as he read it because he was doing exactly the same thing.  In the picture, there were woods behind the ...]]>http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311932http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311932Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311926
 

Today it hurt,

As it will tomorrow.

Pain is our bodies way

Of saying,

 

“Enough is enough!

Time to take it easy.”

 

But sometimes pain ...]]>http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311926http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311926Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311418http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311418http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311418Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/311289
But this room is a comfort

The box glow keeps me warm

And I feel safe here, inside

Pictures from out there

Make me paranoid, checking the doors

I don’t want anything in here

Giving rise to my insecurities

 

So don’t come knocking

Cause I won’t answer

I might say I’m going away

But do I really mean it?

 

My world is encapsulated

In the cotton wool of possessions

Too much is never enough

But the words she chose are absolutely fantastic. Some of them I’d heard of before and had even added to my vocabulary (such as rive, odious and usurp).

Sucks the breath out of me

I can't look at her

She's too bright to see

Tangled dark on her head

It's a sweet abyss

I'm captured forever by her

Brilliant, radiant bliss

 

Beauty like a dagger

Piercing my skin

Etched in the flesh of my heart

A tattoo of my sin

I can barely see her

She's a flashing star

I'm caught in her gravity

Destined to circle her from afar

 

Beauty like a parade

Dazzling pageantry

In the Pink:

As some of you know, I’ve been bitten by the exercise bug recently. Having successfully given up smoking and feeling so much better because of it, I went the whole hog and joined a gym. I’m pleased to say that not only has this been a particularly pleasurable experience, despite the muscle soreness, but I’ve also achieved a couple of things in fairly quick time.

First of a...]]>http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/309941http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/309941Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/309502http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/309502http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/309502Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/308767
The idea is to write a story in 6 words.  I know it sounds like a hard thing to do (and believe me, it is).  But not everything challenging is easy.  If you want to see a few good examples, check out Beeble's post here:

I don’t care what you think

You can roll it up in a tight little tube

And stick it where it stinks

I bet you really love

To hear yourself orate 

I hear it takes a lot of practice

To effectively orally masturbate

Opinions are not facts

No matter how you couch ‘em

As the saying goes

They're like butts and we all have ‘em

So maybe you should shut it

And wait until your asked

Before you spout what you k...]]>http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/308278http://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/308278Fri, 16 May 2008 11:40:46 -04002008-05-16T15:40:46dynamasohttp://masomusing.joeuser.com/article/307898

On my television and radio

I can't escape their intolerance

No matter what I do or where I go

 

It seems as though while their ideals

Are right and correct and true

The lesson they want the rest of us to learn

Is one they won't follow on through

 

These shallow, narrow-minded folk

Don't know enough to leave it alone

They carry on about lifestyles and choices

Like a starving dog chewing on a bone

Groaning to herself, she swung her legs off the cot and stood, stretching up until she felt her back click. As she walked across the room, she rolled her head from side to side and then rolled her shoulders. She felt a little better for the light stretches.

For instance, you could rewrite an historic event from the perspective of here and now or perhaps a piece set in a future where, for instance, water has become more precious than gold. You could write a poem or a play about a typical day living in the 22nd Century.
