Some Days I Just Cannot Write A Word
A Villanelle About Not Writing
There are days when I donβt write. Some days I need a rest. Some days my mind is empty. I always feel I am not good enough even though people continually tell me I am.
So I challenged myself to write a villanelle about not writing.
This is to give me a break from putting together my first book of poetry which I uploaded to Amazon and then pulled because I decided it was only adequate but will probably be on sale by the time this is published.
How twisted is my tiny mind?

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.
