OctPoWriMo 2023: Facing Our Fears
Fear of the known: Choose one of your questions from yesterday and use all of your imagination to answer it in a way that doesn’t frighten you.
You may want to organize your answer in the Rispetto form. Here’s a rispetto I wrote in November 2017:
The Mentor and Mentee
She volunteers to educate
Her art from years of practice show
To translate plans as patterns state
Important skills to cook and sew
Combining all the lessons learned
Early habits overturned
To leave mistakes to plague the past
An exponential knowledge vast

Today’s image prompt shows a frightening event. Is the shadow controlling the action or the man?

Ashes is a new prompt this year. I played with the ashes in the fireplace for the pictures above.
Please link to your creations in the comments. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Answers For Which There Are No Questions
If language is a gift, it’s also a curse
Words that fail, often end in worse
Rifts can grow wider, like chasms grow
If words cannot charm, only hatred bestow
When love is lost, so too are words
All that’s left, is the madness of herds
Chaos takes hold, so does destruction
Violence is, its own seduction
Silence is golden, so too is death
Then poems cease, with no more breath

This is great. I like the title and the rhyming couplets. I especially like the penultimate couplet.
