Creative Experiments and More

The skyscrapers of today,

Take a bow to the masterly architectural wonders of yore,

Brick by brick,

Flawless intricate designs that’s beyond imagination,

Crafted by those hands of magical precision,

Elicits awed exclamations.

Leaving behind their designs of wonder,

Cradles of civilisation,

Have evolved, survived, perished through tests of time,

Their legacy of creation still remains a testament,

Monuments that’d question precision of modern gadgets,

The magic in their hands

Created wonderstruck works of art,

When robots replace modern day man,

Magical hands cease to be?

Unprecedented victory of automation?

Awe dismantled.

PROMPT #166

I’m employing a reverse strategy for the last prompt this year.

Here are two short pieces for the prompt.

to form pictures,
alphabets,
stories

decorated trees
sway to songs
emanating from
masked lips
imagining smiles
that reach
twinkling toes and
luminous tips

PROMPT #166

I’m employing a reverse strategy for the last prompt in this year.

Here are two short pieces for the prompt.

You can choose either one or both. You don’t have to write anything, unless you are so inspired that you cannot resist sharing a piece.

My Take-

Not mere the inkblots

Each word choosen mindfully

Depicts emotions

State of mind of the writer

And the places where it dwells

As
they walk
hand in hand,
smiles radiate,
feelings swell in the backdrop of Paris.

This reminded me of the DC Comics Watchmen character Rorschach.  Walter Kovacs was a violent and ruthless vigilante who is driven by moral absolutism.  Walter got a job working in the garment industry where he had to handle female clothing.  There was a special order for a dress in a new Doctor Manhattan spin-off fabric, made out of two plastic membranes with fluid between them, so the fluid keeps shifting around like a lava lamp.  The customer didn’t want it, saying that the dress looked ugly, but Walter thought otherwise, and since no one wanted the dress, he took it home.  Two years later, he heard that the customer was raped and tortured outside of her apartment building while her neighbors just…
