Poem #100 The deep recesses of our lives

light flows nameless something smiles
love to week to speak their thoughts
blank indifference lived distinguished alien heat
love must we, if ever, even for a moment
lips unchained frivolous distractions
capricious play
the deep recesses of our lives

eddying uncertainty

Task 52 Rigid Rules

Create a short story that is 26 sentences long, each sentence beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. (Add other, arbitrary conditions, if desired, such as one sentence should be one-word long; there should be one question mark, one quotation, etc.) Rigid rules often produce fascinating results—such as with well-written sonnets, which have 14 lines and tight rhyme schemes, each line governed by a specific number of syllables and alternating stressed and unstressed syllables.

Task 49: Socks

Write a funny** story involving socks.
**You can change 'funny' to any emotion--sad or angry or mushy, etc, and 'socks' to any normally boring overlooked topic, but for some reason, socks seem to work best as a prompt. (from Audrey deLong, North Carolina)
