Greetings to all poets and friends.
It is time for the Flash 55 Challenge! The rules of this prompt have not changed: Write a piece of poetry or prose on a subject of your choice in precisely 55 WORDS.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PLUS!
For the OPTIONAL EXTRA part of this challenge, I invite you to watch the short clip from the movie, Samsara, conceived and directed by Ron Fricke. This clip features performance artist, Olivier de Sagazan. Prepare yourself for something a little disturbing ...
Saṃsāra is a Sanskrit word that means "wandering" or "world", with the connotation of cyclic, circuitous change.
Feel free to post more than one 55-word piece to this prompt, which will remain first on the Home Page until Tuesday morning. Please return to enjoy the poetry of fellow poets.
Now that's a video clip that won't leave my mind for a while.
ReplyDeleteI watched the clip and i saw the scream appearing
ReplyDeleteIt is an astounding performance!
ReplyDeleteWhoa on the clip! I have sort of cheated for this one--but reading past 55 is totally optional.
ReplyDeleteWell I gave it my best shot! Thanks for the challenge Kerry ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt and video Kerry. I used both to put something on the page this week!
ReplyDeleteI seldom do the 'PLUS' bit, but this one captured my imagination – and also, for some reason, sent me into rhyming couplets, most uncharacteristic.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone think of fish? Fishing has been on my mind and wormed its way into my poem
