Challenge: mirrors, water, leaf, underwhelming, indolent, rasping
on waking
a stellar jay's less than stellar loud
raspings cast aspersions through
the air temporarily making the
bucolic life most underwhelming
indolence and fog greet my waking -
for a time - let mirrors waste and
the hours become like water while
the oak spends its energy on leaves

Next: straw, swing, gaze, gift, bubble, crystal
Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),

who am I but a stitch in time
what if I were to bare my soul

Enjoyed: "indolence and fog greet my waking -/for a time - let mirrors waste and/the hours become like water while/
the oak spends its energy on leaves".

Challenge: straw, swing, gaze, gift, bubble, crystal
Do we live
in a crystal bubble
swinging under the
neutral gaze
of the universe?
Imagination
sometimes
hangs
on a single straw.
Challenge: loop, hinge, radar, optimal, wolf, emblematic.

Challenge: loop, hinge, radar, optimal, wolf, emblematic
phew!
out of the loop is the new aesthetic
when asceticism's optimal goal is
wont, radar love's unhinged lyric
calls: "don't need no phone at all" -
so, if keeping the wolf from the door
is all you can do, 'tis emblematic
of your success in a hard fought war

Next: virtue, blue, school, Venus, houseplant, reflect
Idle Reflection (Rumination)
No one can say
that cheese is blue,
that all that you learn in school
is true,
that Venus is a virtuous houseplant.
So what?
Next challenge: Billboard, electricity, storm raging, serenity, pond.

Cherry and her Billboard way -
harnessing all the electricity
from raging storms across the
pond... remembering the tragic
day she found her serenity

Next: spectrum, crowd, plot, night, avenue, heat
The spectrum
Wandering along the avenue
without feeling the heat
of the night
he remembered
the same avenue
crowded
with plotting
shadows.
He might have told
who had exploded
the place.
But now he was himself
just an inefficient,
errant shadow!
Ufa!
Next challenge: supper, onions, clock, dangerous, sliding, mighty.

Challenge: supper, onions, clock, dangerous, sliding, mighty
NonZens
a clock sliding through
the day reveals a
dangerous liaison
of universal truths
mighty in their influence -
not unlike whole onions
who when unfolding
the secrets of their
petals at supper time
do so reluctantly

Challenge: necklace, dragon, hope, sphere, musically, iron
Hope
Wearing his necklace of fire
The dragon of hope
Slowly ascends into space!
To the mortal perception
each sphere rings
with itīs own music,
sounds forged
with the lofty iron of church bells.
Next challenge: resolution, anthem, direct, spleen, increasing, abstract.
