A boring schedule

A boring week

A boring life overall

A boring way

To go about the day

A sudden change-up calls

Something different

Something fresh

Something out of the blue

I need something completely unknown

I need something new

I’ll try to paint, or sing and dance

or maybe I will skate

Just maybe I could find a thing

I will not come to hate

At first I’ll try

And fail at first

And then ...

“Hellooooo”, a stranger on the street bellowed in a deep low growl as they tried to get my attention, while waving their hand in my face and blocking my view. This happens to me frequently, and I usually get away from this by acting deaf or just giving up and running away. A crowd of pigeons fly past me at a snail’s pace while the cars in the street just never seem to move, these things used to am...

“Hey!”, I said as I tilted my head upwards at the man looking down at me. After bringing myself to his attention I waited for a response, but surprisingly nothing was said immediately. At first I thought “I’ll give him some time, maybe he’s currently lost in his own thoughts”, but as I continued to attempt to talk to him, he payed no mind to my constant efforts.

There were so many things I wante...

Writing a poem with the first being last

Last being first, the potential is vast

Vast in possibilities, rhyming and format

Format the poem to what the prompt hints at

At a certain point while writing this prompt

Prompt seems difficult, creativity is stomped

Stomping at the ground while angrily thinking

Thinking of rhymes, the flow starts sinking

Sinking through my mind to find any rhymes

When I became friends with this tight knit group of outsiders I knew why they accepted me, because I was different like the rest of them. Some of them had a secret talent that no others could appreciate, and some just had a personality that the mainstream just couldn’t handle. As for me, I knew I was taken in for my appearance, but they’re not fully aware of my true self. My days as a street mime ...

The day started as it usually does, with me waking up at the crack of dawn with my wife. We take turns in the bathroom, have some coffee and talk about whatever is happening recently. She heads off to work, I drive our son to school and I then go to work as well. We do it every morning except today was a bit different. That day I called in sick, I’ve been around a few people and it’s safe to say I...

A dark, gray cloud overtakes

The attention of everyone, it wakes

The sound of thunder, a strike of fear

An indication of what is near

Loud winds begin to form

The temperature is far from warm

All these signs just seem to warn

It’s more than just a thunderstorm

The winds grow louder, the rain drops hard

The locals take shelter and begin to stand guard

The water builds, and fills the streets

It...
