I love how you use the same thought in multiple forms. Each complements and builds off the others, with more/different information revealed. I enjoyed them all.
It's hard to wrap your mind around the instant loss of so many young lives. My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of those affected, and for all of Canada. Major for you, Steve.
I loved it. It was nice to Tristan doing so much better after 'the incident'. And Leggo Myeggo had me Great job with conveying what you needed to in such a short piece. I'd love to read more about these characters.
NaPoWriMo Week One
1.
A choice not made is still a choice,
Hidden deep, stifled voice
Until the dam bursts open wide
Exposed to all, nowhere to hide.
2.
Winter melds into spring
Juxtaposing white and warmth
Scoffing at the date
3.
Brown appliances
Green wallpaper
Lacquered wood table
With extensions for special occasions.
Pungent tang of liverwurst
And stench of limburger,
Tastier than their odors.
Panca
These are all gems. I read one thinking "this is my favorite", then moved onto the next to think the same thing for each offering. Number 2 stood out to me, but there's so much to like in every one of these.
There is a minor error in April 6th. "Cows graze peacefully" or "Cow grazes peacefully".
I am going to have to re-read these. Very well done. I can't wait to see what you do for the rest of the month.
I understand what you mean. I don't think I could ever consider those words terms of endearment, no matter the context. Thanks for reading and commenting.
This is based on an actual experience. I don't remember much about the girl who said the horrible remark, but I'll never forget the look on the girl it was directed at's face. I hope she eventually learned the error of her ways. Thanks for the comments, Puppi.
I was floored when I heard it. I couldn't believe anyone would talk to another person that way. Thanks, Cole. This was an interesting prompt to write and think about!
Congratulations on completing the move. You must be relieved to have it finally over with, even if there are still boxes to unpack. FYI... I've been in my house ten years now and still have boxes I haven't unpacked. I admire you for having the courage to make such a big change. It's not easy leaving your comfort zone, even knowing the change is for the better. Best of luck and I'm looking forward to reading some new stuff from you
Prompt: What’s the most offensive thing you’ve ever heard someone say?
I stood on tiptoes and peered through the metal bars lining the top portion of the stall. The animal inside bit into the large pile of hay piled in the corner, then lifted its head to stare at me. It snorted, spraying hay, dirt, and goo all over my brand-new shirt.
Laughter erupted next to me, and I looked over to see a boy my age doubled over. “That means he likes you,” he stated.
I grimaced. “Great.
I'm very curious as to the meaning behind the title of the story. I am sorry I didn't read it for the discussion day, but I'm not really doing much reading right now. Great interview. I'm glad I'm not the only who has worn inside out clothing all day and either not noticed or cared.
Again, we're seeing things from Galen's perspective, which is a bit skewed at the moment. So the jury's out on Ben at the moment. We'll see what happens with the visit with Eddie. Thanks for reading and commenting
There's a lot of hurt going around, that's for sure. Josh needs counseling just as much as Galen does. We'll see what happens once Galen gets some answers and advice. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Great comments We'll see what advice Eddie has for Galen and how Josh deals with the separation. Both Galen and Josh need to work on communicating with each other. Hopefully they'll be given the opportunity to do so. Thanks for reading!
We'll see what happens once Galen is away from Josh. Perhaps Josh should have been more open and honest with his feelings, but consider he may realize that Galen's not ready so doesn't want to push him. And these two have never been the best at communicating. Also, did Josh mean to kiss him? It was early in the morning before either of them were fully awake... so something to consider. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.
I think you've hit the nail right on the head. This is from Galen's skewed perspective, so is Ben really a creep or just bold? Great comments. Thanks for reading!
