Writers Island offers Outrageous as the weekly prompt.
Outrageous. Yes. Outrageous. Okay, I won't get started. I'll sit down, breathe deeply and think of something pleasant. Something not outrageous. It won't be the news. It won't be celebs nor athletes. It won't be government mismanagement, it won't be the cost of medications, it won't be political idiocy nor the greed of the powerful. It won't be the justice system that allows criminals the latitude to kill again. It won't be... Okay, I'm through now. Outrageous. It is. I'm going to take a nap. Maybe when I wake up I'll find all things outrageous were only nightmares or maybe I'll just post a Pleiades poem.
Contest
constant conversation
confusion creeps forward
chaos clashes with form
challenge ignores logic
corrupt acts expand so
cream cannot float and when
courage goes, the split spreads

Each line is so great. Love how you take cliches and put them on their heads
That's exactly how one feels when faced with the situation of writing anything outrageous! had fun reading.....
I agree with all the issues you didn't want to write about. :)
Loved the fractal and poem...great nap!
But you did touch on a number of things that might be considered outrageous - very clever and inventive - I loved your pleiades poem.
Your poem was great - as were all the complaints you didn't make ;-)
Convincing! :)
nice work. love the fractal.
I've never heard of a Pleiades Poem before. And I'm glad this is the first one I've read. It's very rhythmic. And I love the alliterations.:)
i liked the rant!!!!
Very clever and well written! I really liked this piece.
yes, it had some natural rhythm that i like. nice take on the prompt. this poem of poetry seems to be challenging :-)
Deep breath and count to ten doesn't always work. sometimes you have to say what you see
I can't say which I enjoyed more ... the rant or the poem
Great post!
