Oct. 13 Prompts: Stirring the Ashes

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
