Summer-into-Fall Prose. Wrap-up Challenge
In five haikus, tell a story about the cycle of life. Start with being born, then so forth. Because this is absorbing the entirety of all Prose. Challenges until October's start, we're giving the winner $250. Winner is decided by a combination of likes, and our panel. And...Go.
Surabhi

Cover to cover

Breathe. Breathe. In and out.

That's it. Isn't that simple?

The hard bit is done.

Oops, it isn't done.

My bad, it's puberty time.

Angst. Pain. Love. Acne.

Oh to be adult,

To drink, to vote, and pay rent

Where the fuck am I?

Middle age, wise one

Now I don't care anymore,

Shit my back is sore

Wrinkles tell the truth,

Came from nothing, going back

to dust and ashes.
