- "Through practice, I've come to see that the deepest source of my misery is not wanting things to be the way they are. Not wanting my self to be the way I am. Not wanting the world to be the way it is. Not wanting others to be the way they are. Whenever I'm suffering, I find this war with reality to be at the heart of my problem." -- Stephen Cope.

- "Barefoot,
I drum up and down your back.
In the morning I run from door to door
of the cabin playing chase me.
Now you grab me by the ankles.
Now you work your way up the legs
and come to pierce me at my hunger mark"

Beautiful, really moved me this.

do you consider this flash fiction or prose poem? Liked the images
lissa: hi scot. i think it’s lurking somewhere in between right now, but i really want to lengthen this and add some dialogue. i think at that point it will seem more like flash fiction.
your poem byebye is so powerful, and you
wonderfully write with a delicate touch that
enhances the power of each piece of prose.
beautiful, a similar structure to the somersault poem, turning absolutely beautifully round the central image, it is a gorgeous pirouhette round the room, out the window, controlling tone with sound, and simple, elegant, well defined with a controlled passion, i’ve said it many times, Lissa rocks! this a fantastic prosepoemthingy because the structure, the image, the tone all work together to create a mind event for the reader, hooks them, changes, leaves them in a different place, antihaiku, brilliant,
lissa: yay. thank you. my doubt really creeps in sometimes, but your encouragement, everyone’s encouragement, really makes my day. :)
Ooooh!! This one was great Lis! You know I’m a suker for the dark place. I love how your work gives the reader pieces of imagery, but not quite enough to get the whole picture. It just enhances the reader’s ability to use her or his own imagination and let the story take flight. If only more writers had this gift!
Great writing as always… unfortunately, I was terribly wierded out by the picture in the beginning, so I couldn’t quite concentrate on what I was reading, I had to read it twice…
lissa: haha. how funny. i love that dark stuff. the picture fascinated me. i
never thought of it as creepy. oh, that’s too funny. :)
You create such beautiful, unexpected image.
