Challenge
Tell me something new
I want to read your individual take on anything BUT telling it in a way I've never heard before - not in books, magazines, movies, tv, films, video games, advertising, social media, quotations, cliches, school. Tell me something new. I'm not looking for experimental formats just simple solid writing from your individual POV and vocabulary. It can be fiction, non-fiction, a poem or prose - no rhyming. 250 word limit.
Red is the Only Color
“Red is the only color.”
I tap the Red against my palm.
Twist Red
Brush Red in long, careful strokes
I am not an artist —
the Red goes places it should not.
I scold the Red away.
My canvas shivers
and I wrap her so only the Red
peeks through.
Ten beautiful shining Reds
on a translucent canvas.
Soon the Reds too will be covered.
Soon the canvas will burn to ash.
The art was never in the canvas.
red is only a color.
