Dichotomy

This was written for a Writer’s Island prompt, “Questionable” and was inspired by this post on the Diva Muse’s blog about the term MILF. Enjoy.

Roses

This was written for two of this week’s Writer’s Island prompts (Coercion and Awakening) and was inspired by this post on The Diva Muse’s Blog (allthingsbootylicious.com) as well as experiences from my own adolescence. I wrote this in a hay(na)ku chain. Enjoy.

Universe

I wrap myself in the blanket
of verbal confrontations
streamed in electrical data pulses
on parallel fiber optic highways

fiber optic bright burning data lights
on a blue-black background blanket
words exploding and shooting
like stars

I grab them in my hands
to examine them for later use
to line up side by side with other stars
to form a galaxy of debate
swirling in the human cosmos

I may crash and burn
but I’ve enjoy the ride
as I learn
what the universe of human thought
is made of

This was a prompt poem written in response to One Simple Impression’s prompt this week on pets. Instead of a haiku, though, I ended up with a triple sonnet using the rhyme scheme I accidentally invented yesterday (yes, I am going to call it a Nicholsonian sonnet – it’s a takeoff of the Spenserian sonnet form). So here it is. Enjoy.

Long ago in Nippon, I, sitting, waved
a sword at a landlord of great wealth
and caused him to approach me; thus I saved
him from a lightning strike. The man himself Continue reading →

The Worst Advice That I Have Ever Received

This poem comes from prompt #9 on Scott Wood’s journal – “Write a poem about the worst advice you ever got”. This is the result – a chained hay(na)ku about some bad advice my aunt (yes, the notorious one, for those who know) gave me in high school. Implied and unspoken advice, no less. Anyway, enjoy.

Obsession

This is a poetic response (though kind of like slant rhyme, I’d call this a slant response, since it’s more of a take on the idea of obsession) to “Naked Echo” by David Pitchford. I also suggest checking out “Deep Rooted Want” written by Mother2Rah.

-Nicole

To watch is to want, and
To want beyond the heart’s
Boundaries becomes murder
As you rain covetous concupiscence
Upon the object of your desire Continue reading →

Beg, Borrow, or Steal

For Pete’s sake, don’t take the title literally. Read in a bit further.

Beg, borrow, or steal:
Somehow through living, you lose your soul
If mere survival’s your only goal. Continue reading →
