Over // Under // Through

Papers Please. Copyright - Isadora Gruye Photography. 

Greetings Toadlings, 

 Congrats to all of you participating in the neck-breaking, poem-a-day marathon for National Poetry month.  Today's challenge is all about challenges, and how we rise ...or er, don't or whatever. 

 Over // Under // Through

 We've all got a lot of borders to hop, a lot of walls to climb, a lot of checkpoints to dodge. Write a poem detailing how you get by. This is also the theme for the opening issue of Nice Cage. If you are interested in submitting your work, please check out the submission guidelines and past issues at our home page.

 So go now, my muddy buddies and bring us back something shiny and new!!!

    This is a great challenge, Izy. One for the final day of my April vacation! I have been so inspired by the poets featured at Nice Cage, especially those who write prose poetry. I think I will attempt something of the sort for this prompt - just for a change of perspective.

    Great idea Izy and one that I have combined with today's napowrimo 'nocturne' prompt. Have a good day everyone.

    I used to feel like nature did nothing to restore me...WHO WAS I? nature is everything

    I couldn't do this one today... day off and family has me running! I managed to eke out only a quickie American sentence, not responsive. But Izy I like this prompt and will try to write for it sometime this month.

    A very nice, fun prompt, Izzy. I've had a busy day but finally wrote. Perhaps I'll post it for Tuesday Platform another day. Thank you.
