Awww, under the pustulating skin of a newborn troll, good one.  I like the set-out too. Way to go, Yeethaw!

What a beautiful, sad, haunting poem! The black leaking from underneath sets the athmosphere even better!

Thanks yeethaw for a chilling piece, and midwestmutt for a gentler one! Strong start!

Annuli, the work is a picture containing a poem. The Forum doesn’t store actual pictures, they are in fact links to other services. Sometimes a user has something preventing them from seeing some of the pics, for example my work computer doesn’t show pictures that are links to imgur because it’s classified as “pornography”...  which some of the content may be, but hardly everything is. But, no voting chibis for mm from work!

Okey, thank you, Jitter, I got the problem. My computer has an app that blocks everything that looks just a little bit like “pornography”, so… maybe that’s why

Yeethaw_Gang, I like this very much! An unexpectedly dark take on the prompt. I think good art generally violates expectations in some way, great job.

Thanks everyone! I had a lot of fun writing the poem, and especially doing the little background.

midwestmutt your poem is wonderful. I love me a good haiku, and I'm always a sucker for stars and space, even if mentioned briefly.

Prompt 2: Growth

Our second prompt of Growth is brought to us by none other than wavewright62!

Ingrid Pedersen has become a much-greater-effort hippie since the Rash came to Norway.  She was the one who instituted composting and other ways to increase food production in Dalsnes, but every year is still a struggle.



May all of your tomatoes grow as impressively as Ingrid's! Thanks very much to Wavewright for today's piece, and if any of you feel inspired by this prompt, feel free to share your own works down below!
