A Long Descent into a Short Canyon


Poetic Style - 5 - Visual/Found
Inspiration - 2 - Lyric
Coin Flip - Heads - Use Lyric as Prompt

Lyric Choice: "Far Out Past the Astral Plane"

Image


Text:

Floating in a gentle void
In a calming sea of color and warmth
Is it memories?
Are these the power of emotions?
Does it even matter?

I don't know how I got here
Was I really trying?
Or did the universe feel I needed it?
Is this a place to heal?
Does it even matter?

Its comforting here
My worries heal and my wounds fade
A warm haze I don't even know how to leave
Can I even leave now?
Does it even matter?

Home
A word never to be used lightly

It can't be just a building
Something must make it a home
I lived in a house
Nerves always tingling

To me home
was a fancy word for a gilded cage.

A home is meant to be bustling
A happy home
Not a place to be quiet as a mouse
Where the sound of rustling
Can set off quarelling
And all you have is restrained mingling

So I don't live at home
I only hope I can go home

A Mistake?

Lyric Choice: N/A

Am I a mistake?
Or just a disposable napkin?
Was I just a toy?
To be used and kept in a cage?
Will I ever be free?
Be a human of my own command?
Maybe a mistake can be free.
Free to be corrected into something beautiful.
This cage is weak now
I will take my command.
Someday perhaps I'll be worth something
Maybe even to someone.

Coming of Age


Chosen for me by @Ley

Poetic Style -4 - Refrain
Inspiration - 1 - Song Title
Coin Flip - Tails - Incorporate Into Poem

Lyric Choice: N/A

Image


Life is a game
The difficulty is locked at hardcore
You only get one life
The only way to win
Is coming of age

There's microtransactions
Except they don't tell you
Until you're wallet is empty
Can you ever find out?
Maybe try coming of age

You start with so many debuffs
Unless you got a premium account
Except wait you can't choose
Your parents chose for you
Until you're coming of age

So what do you do?
Well you grind of course
Its the only answer
One click could never solve a thing
Coming of age is a gradual thing

One day you'll know what's going on
The controls will be second nature
You'll know your place in this world
Don't give up, skeleton
You'll come of age yet

Push Me out to Sea

Coin Flip - Tails - Incorporate Into Poem

Lyric Choice: "Push Me out to Sea"

Image


Push me out to sea
We'll see how I'll be
Its a victory for thee
And a setback for me

Push me out to sea
You'll be rid of me
But you just set me free
Its a victory for me

Push me out to sea
I'll say thank you to thee
Its a setback for thee
Cause you let me flee

Push me out to sea
Better forget about me
When fun is over for thee
There's nowhere i'll be

Push me out to sea
O' please set me free
Its a victory for thee
I promise its not for me

(Yeah it is Byee)

Try to Light a Match in the Rain


Poetic Style -4 - Refrain
Inspiration - 4 - Dealer's Choice - Song Lyric
Coin Flip - N/A - Use Lyric as Prompt

Lyric Choice: "Trying to light a Match in the rain"

Image


Try to light a match in the rain
Put a fire out with some napalm
Warm up with some ice cream
Maybe calm down with coffee

Try to light a match in the rain
If all you want is fire
And you ignore the rain
All you'll really have is pain

Try to light a match in the rain
If you want to light a match
Despite the rain
Then you'll know gain

Its trying to light a match in the rain
Understanding that water beats fire
That you should then try

Its trying to light a match... in the rain
Because you ignore water
You'll never get anywhere

So try to light a match in the rain
Put a fire out with some napalm
Warm up with some ice cream
Maybe calm down with coffee

(But don't light fire on water or warm up in a freezer)

Never gonna give you up
My dearest wife
Even through strife
In this game called life

Against any slight

Through mud and wine
You're truly divine

The carpal tunnel of love
A pure white dove
Push comes to shove
Its all we've got left

The messages we haul
So we don't bawl
Until we can call
Its all we've got left

So the carpal tunnel of love
Until we cross the gov
My dearest love
Its all we've got left

Title: N/A

I am a king
I don't use Bing
The bell can ring
I ain't gonna sing
Cause I'm my own woman

I am a king
I carve my path
I draw my own bath
I tend to my math
Cause I'm my own woman

I am a king
Don't tell me what to do
I'll just kick you into the loo
Your silly rules are just boo
Cause I'm my own woman

I am a king
My fate is mine
I walk on my own line
And maybe I'll drink wine
Cause I'm my own woman

Edna began to feel like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul.
— Kate Chopin, The Awakening
