Challenge
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.
That’s Life
Existence begins
Eyes and mouth open to scream-
Help me to survive.
Innocence thrives here
Learning and wonder emerge-
Time to discover.
Need to find one’s self
Change occurring everywhere-
Fears of truth appear.
Independence thrives
Choose adventure or comfort-
Accept ups and downs.
An ending appears
Pack only your memories-
Now time for a rest.
