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...
