CloseSo, welcome to my new series, Write Off the Bat! This is a series of topics (12) dedicated to practising writing by assigning writing exercises over a month, each on different aspects or genres. This month I decided to go with Poetry as a challenge.
So what does this entail? I will post up a list of prompts and people will (hopefully) use them to write. They can write as many or as little words as they want, in any poetry form they want, about any characters (or objects) they want. You can be as silly or serious as you wish.
At the end of the month anyone who completed all 20 prompts will get a badge. Collect 3, 6, 9 and 12 badges to get the complete badge sets and a lot of MS!
Yes, this will run each month for a year!
You don't have to sign up, you can jump in at any time of the year. As long as you complete all challenges/prompts during that month, you are eligible for that months' badge.
There are a few rules, though!
RULE 01 - In the interest of making it easy on me to see who completed which prompts, you have one post in each thread where you post your completed prompts. That is:
RMN has no post size limit so don't worry about running out of space. Of course, feedback and general discussion is fine, but I'll be linking in the OP to each of your main posts to make it easier to find them, so please follow this for posting prompt updates/additions.
RULE 2 - This thread and the 11 others in the series can be brought back from the dead at any time. It's immune to age, so feel free to post the prompt updates your forgot to add at any time, even two years down the track. If it's past the first month, though, you won't be eligible for that month's badge, but you will still gain some pretty good experience.
RULE 3 - Feedback. Please be constructive when giving feedback. This means, try to point out the things you liked in a written piece as well as the parts that need improving. Don't be a dick. Try to be nice about it: "I liked your character, but I think you need to check out your spelling and grammar. Also, the theme is really good, but there needs to be a bit more reaction from the surprise twist. As it stands your character kinda just takes it as is and doesn't really react at all..."
Let's get this started then, shall we? Keep in mind that this is supposed to be DESCRIPTIVE~ This is all about jumping out of your comfort zone, experimenting and just having fun with words. Keep that in mind~

She told me I'm like a roses thorn
I don't know what she means
I don't hide,
Wait for her touch
Before drawing blood
Or stabbing her
No
I never hide
I don't clutch her as she passes
Don't reach out and grab at her
I'm never that cruel
No
I don't hide behind her
Let her take the spotlight
Don't let her be noticed
No
No, not at all
Not a one of those things
Apparently
I'm a prick.

02 - Fire Night
Darkness then light
I hear fire in the night
And I fear like never before
Then the scent of smoke
My heart just broke
Panicked, heading to the door
A peek outside it
Hoping not to find it
And that the glow on walls is just a dream
The night is bright now
And we wonder just how
We managed to come up on this scene
Ashes, ashes
We tumble
Humble
And nothing remains in the end
But a soaked brow
Teary-eyed now
And memories of hurried, burning pain
I hear fire in the night
And I fear like never before
Then the scent of smoke
My heart just broke
Panicked, heading to the door
A peek outside it
Hoping not to find it
And that the glow on walls is just a dream
The night is bright now
And we wonder just how
We managed to come up on this scene
Ashes, ashes
We tumble
Humble
And nothing remains in the end
But a soaked brow
Teary-eyed now
And memories of hurried, burning pain
03 - Sugar and Spice
When she's sweet, she's like sugar
Toxic to the human body
Cloying and dangerous
A rotting delicacy
When she's sour she's like a lemon
Bright and full of life
Fresh and invigorating
A healthy dose of life
She's a contradiction
A mess of different things
I can't help but be amazed
At how she turns them around
At how she brings the best
And worst
And all between
To her romances
She lures them in and tires them out
She's crazy like that
Toxic to the human body
Cloying and dangerous
A rotting delicacy
When she's sour she's like a lemon
Bright and full of life
Fresh and invigorating
A healthy dose of life
She's a contradiction
A mess of different things
I can't help but be amazed
At how she turns them around
At how she brings the best
And worst
And all between
To her romances
She lures them in and tires them out
She's crazy like that
04 - Abstract
An empty cocoon
And I wonder who used to live there
It's round yet not and I stare
Fall into the darkness beneath
And between
And under, around, over
Wrapped
I have become something beyond
And I understood, at the end
That all life is together
Yet apart
And I wonder who used to live there
It's round yet not and I stare
Fall into the darkness beneath
And between
And under, around, over
Wrapped
I have become something beyond
And I understood, at the end
That all life is together
Yet apart
05 - Living Under
06 - Breath
In darkness her breath is fire,
Iced and chilled but burning
Ever burning
In the sunlight her breath is fog,
Light and floating, but opaque
Always opaque
She hides behind the things she says and does
Hides behind words and worthless admonitions
Her breath obscures, even as it burns
It breaks hearts and wills
Destroys dreams and desires
Her breath is destruction
A weapon of distraction
And when she hides behind it
I know
And when she tries to use it
I know
But I let her
Because I know what she hides
Iced and chilled but burning
Ever burning
In the sunlight her breath is fog,
Light and floating, but opaque
Always opaque
She hides behind the things she says and does
Hides behind words and worthless admonitions
Her breath obscures, even as it burns
It breaks hearts and wills
Destroys dreams and desires
Her breath is destruction
A weapon of distraction
And when she hides behind it
I know
And when she tries to use it
I know
But I let her
Because I know what she hides

What the heck, I'll give it a shot!
What's the worst that could happen? I improve?
I'll only try ones that I can understand at least in the slightest or can think of an idea for.
Not gonna do em all in one night....

02 - Fire Night
Out in the night, under a full moon I lay,
Fireflies roaming the darkness, going astray.
As I look at the fire, it dwindles in heat,
making fire is a simple feat.
We created fire, a force of great power.
Able to sustain life, and make it quite Sour.
Here I wonder, gathering timber.
How on earth do we linger?
We rely on danger to survive,
Yet we thrive....

This'll be awesome. I'll try to make these interesting. Also sorry everyone, I really don't like traditional-style rhyme schemes, I let rhythm carry my words.

01 - Like a Roses Thorns
Like a rose's thorns,
brittle, hidden,
callous, uncaring,
stabbing, piercing.
But in that moment, we connect;
you aren't hidden, you're in my skin,
crawling,
and I have seen beauty.
brittle, hidden,
callous, uncaring,
stabbing, piercing.
But in that moment, we connect;
you aren't hidden, you're in my skin,
crawling,
and I have seen beauty.
02 - Fire Night
A clean feeling,
smoke and never found besides the glass
and ash and masks;
passion, sure, but purity.
Concentration, and concatenation
of concept and absence of concept.
Hot and heavy by heaving too hard --
and I burn in my heart a Fire Night.
smoke and never found besides the glass
and ash and masks;
passion, sure, but purity.
Concentration, and concatenation
of concept and absence of concept.
Hot and heavy by heaving too hard --
and I burn in my heart a Fire Night.
03 - Sugar and Spice
and everything wrong with the world.
04 - Abstract
Time-twisted and heaven-sent,
flippant without a taste of mustard,
and you, silly world
waggle on
flippant without a taste of mustard,
and you, silly world
waggle on
05 - Living Under
First it was rocks,
then the trees. It grew away from us,
and we looked and said, "Nay, bring us
the night!" And so
we brought it back with the rood,
and the shackle, and the curling iron,
and makeup, and tuxedos;
and yet the finest points of darkness
are those pixels. In comparison,
we still live under the rock.

06 - Breath
and as the dragon sees the flame,
the plant sees the sun.
Pulse,
and as the heron feels the tide,
the faerie feels the shadow.
Quiet,
and as the tyrant shouts my name,
the ends meet, and all these together-things
Fall, apart
the plant sees the sun.
Pulse,
and as the heron feels the tide,
the faerie feels the shadow.
Quiet,
and as the tyrant shouts my name,
the ends meet, and all these together-things
Fall, apart
07 - Silly Lyrics
The color of the orange is orange!
The color of the rose is rose!
The color of oatmeal is porridge!
And the color of that wall is gross!
The color of the rose is rose!
The color of oatmeal is porridge!
And the color of that wall is gross!
Prompt 7: Silly Lyrics
Because sometimes, it's better to not ask:
And I need a little Simic
Right this very minitue!
Kraj keeps getting bigger,
Bigger, bigger, bigger!
And I need a little Simic
Right this very minute!
I need a little Simic now!
Because sometimes, it's better to not ask:
And I need a little Simic
Right this very minitue!
Kraj keeps getting bigger,
Bigger, bigger, bigger!
And I need a little Simic
Right this very minute!
I need a little Simic now!
