Today’s prompt is vulnerability. I really like Morgan’s artwork and music choice for today.
Forms: Haiku or Lannet. I don’t think I’ve heard of a Lannet before. I think I’ll give it a try. Fourteen lines, 10 syllables each, no end rhymes.
Vulnerability
Reaching blindly into the dark abyss
where monsters lurk and may bite or devour
knowing fear and facing it openly
each toe dipped deeper into the unknown
raw and tender, like the bruised flesh of fruit
Skin eroding under the slightest touch
reveals the damage and imperfections
time’s cruelty left behind to fester
and grow, fungus in damp and shadow
to some ugly, others delicacy
The raw nerves open to thrill and excite
are also unprotected from distress
the peril of quiet contemplation
and diving into the murky waters

I enjoyed the webcast yesterday and the prompts helped me get some writing done. I recommend at least watching the very end. It’s inspiring. I didn’t get to my post about Plot and Structure yesterday. I’ll try to get it out today.

The poem is powerful and the micro-story is absolutely spot-on! I am very impressed!
