  2. National Poetry Month 2017 Part II - Found Poetry Prompt: Found Poetry. Cento. A cento is a poem made entirely of lines from other poems. The cento differs from found poetry in that every line is taken from another poem, instead of just any borrowed material. Don't use chunks bigger than two lines long. Regular meter is not necessary, and neither is rhyme. You can change the tense of verbs, or the person of pronouns, but don't make any large changes to the lines of poetry you bo
  3. I like them all. # 18 is a thoughtful read.

  6. National Poetry Month 2017 Part I - Prose Poetry and Dream-Write Prompt: Prose Poetry. Prose Poetry is an example of a hybrid genre of writing. Prose poems occur when someone writes prose using poetry techniques. Prose contains narrative and does not follow any set rhythm, while poetry is rhythmic and image-based. Prose poetry is anything that combines these elements into a single piece of writing. Prose poetry is poetry that is not written in verse and contains other poetic attributes, suc

    Thank you How about you write your own story? Plotted chapters in our heads, that's what authors dream of. Jump another 30 years into the future, imagine your own characters and write down all that is in your head. The beginning and the ending of the story will come to you while you plunge into your own adventure. Good luck, if you decide to so. I'd certainly be curious to read your plot. Thanks again for reading and commenting.

    The Globe, New York, May 5, 2074 BREAKING NEWS — Missing spaceship Shiva coming home after more than five years in space NASA officials announced today that they received a message from missing spaceship Shiva. The spaceship took off on August 8, 2068, and reached its target, star system X104 in the constellation of Scorpius five months later. After a one-month exploration of the star system, located 25,000 light years from Earth, the spaceship landed on exoplanet X104C7, also called Terra

    Thank you, TABandit and centexhairysub. I'll post the final chapter of the story today, but you're right that in a sense the story is just the beginning of a longer tale, Earth's future in space and how the humans will cope, but I will leave this to the readers' thoughts and imaginations. Many thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you liked the plot.

    Chapter 11

    “What do you mean? Train our brains? Erase our memories? Or what?” Dan asked, disgusted. Naamah raised his hand. “You don’t have to worry. Calm down. Your memories will remain intact. I’ll explain it to you.” “Rob said that the humans aren’t ready for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. Do you also believe what Rob said?” Tamiel asked, turning to the other men. They nodded, even Dan complied. “I was prepared for this mission and still I can’t cope,” Dan said. “It frightens

    Chapter 10

    The Asuras left. Azrael contacted Supreme Command and, in his function as a Devas representative, demanded information on the planned procedure. He was told that decision was delayed until the wounded Earth man had recovered from his injuries. The other men were refined to their quarters. More interrogations were scheduled. Azrael wielded his influence and finally Supreme Command gave permission for a meeting between Tamiel and Rob. The talk would of course be carefully studied by Supreme Com

  20. I plan to participate. I found an old book with poetry prompts. Some are interesting enough to give them a try.
  21. Like others I don't get notifications on comments on stories and I don't get email notifications at all. I tried with different settings, but neither works. Once the problem is solved, would somebody please be so kind and let me know the exact settings for onsite notifications AND email notifications. I'm desperate meanwhile. Thank you.

    Chapter 9

    The interrogation lasted several hours. Then security led the Earth men to their quarters. A man introduced them into the food processor and the bathroom and then left the room. Dan rushed to the door, but it did not slide open. “Locked up,” Dan said. “We’re probably being monitored, too.” “We would do the same,” John said, sounding tired. The men sat down in chairs around a table. “They got all the answers they wanted, but they told us little,” Dan said. “Where is this space base? H
