Enjoyed Hope very much ! Very evocative

Spleen ? (lol)... Challenge accepted !

Challenge: resolution, anthem, direct, spleen, increasing, abstract

surrender

'twas as rare as a Tutwiler spleenwort
and 'bout as abstract: the resolution
on our new anthem became increasingly
misdirected as one could imagine - what
with the entire artsy community having
a hand in the process... but all settled
and done and our new overlords pleased:
"Hocus Pokus" by Focus played with conch
shells and didgeridoos and Theremin
caught their intergalactic fancy; our new
flag a rectangle of pure lily livered white

Now this was a surprise:https://encyclopediaofalabama.org/me...rs-spleenwort/
Very original solution!
Challenge accepted: gravity, lost, fragrant, channel, exile, wings



The gravity of exile:
The lost fragrance of home
The capped wings
The closed channels.
Being a new being
among landscapes
of iron and cotton.

New challenge: oblivion, sustain, anthropomorphic, climb, really, unafraid.

Challenge: oblivion, sustain, anthropomorphic, climb, really, unafraid

a demented oblivion

sustain me my simple anthropomorphisms
whilst I climb walls within my mind: ants
chanting monastic holy anthems within my
skull - a charnal house of Serengeti plainness
- bones of elephants and rhino, who speak
unafraid and unsympathetically of man, play-
ing upon drums stretched of great ape hide
so taut that the beating might really strike
some sense into our collective consciousness
before we all cede into a demented oblivion

Oh my, this is serious!

Challengerism, throng, ending, mirror, web, river

Procession
Seen through a certain prism,
What is humanity
But a long never ending moving throng
of creatures basking in
Mirages, mirrors, myths, mores(dissolving)
And now Web, the great electronic Maya.
The immense river flows
in an unknown direction
unto unknown seas.

New challenge: breeze, lively, moss, underrated, singular, coronation.

[tailor STATELY]

Enjoyed very much I decided to go the other way with singularity:

... and done

lively was the breeze
when the singularity came upon us
heralded by a coronation of coronal fire -
a mass ejection from the sun
kindling underrated moss and tree, and spun
whirlwinds of flame as our dear star danced
the tarantella with its new companion
flames overtaking all...
and then there were none to sing the praises
of earth but holy angels who were there
when His work begun

Very interesting solution: the world as we know it ending in fire!

Challenge accepted!

Next Challenge:harbinger, rainforest, gold, spirit, canoe, mussurana

The Mussurana
Gliding almost invisibly
along the trees of the rainforest
the mussurana
might be seen
as a harbinger of bad news.

But the spirits of
the ancestors
of the lonely,
who descend
the Amazon
in their canoes
know better:
the black snake
is a protector.
It´s hoard of gold
the forest.

Next challenge:charisma, wind, imperial,mistery, analogous

Enjoyed "It´s hoard of gold / the forest."

Challenge: charisma, wind, imperial, mistery, analogous

View From the Tower of the Winds

charismatic are the
ever shifting winds -
Boreas, Eurus, Notos,
Zephyrus imperial in
their majesty given full
reign by mysterious
Aiolos; analogous to
Ouranos mythic master
of the starry night sky

Enjoyed the mythological poem!

Next: teach, spider, frame, cottage, fountain, button

Framed picture

A small cottage near a fountain,
one almost hears the murmur
of the water.

Timid flower buttons surround
the cottage
like an open necklace.

In a corner,
below the slanted roof
a small spider
busily weaves her net.
Nobody taught her
this ancient craft.

New challenge: mother, endeavor, simply, praise, castle, dreaming.

Challenge: mother, endeavor, simply, praise, castle, dreaming

happy simple dreams

'twas once upon a late night dreaming
waking, walking, within that dream -
skies abundantly azure blue with a
golden castle simply floating in the air

færie-godmothers were in rich supply
like wishing wells endeavoring every
wish to fulfill whilst honeysuckle and
patchouli pervaded the crystal breeze

give praise to happy

childlike dreams where flying is

of the simplest means
