Her idealism cost more than we'll ever know. Her belief in change made her a better person. It made all of us better. ______________________________ (23 words / 5 lines) Form: Tanka A lot of people wouldn’t consider Wichita, Kansas as a particularly “spooky” city. Which is objectively ridiculous because we literally have the word “witch” in the name of our city! And just like any other “major” city in the world, if you know the right places to look, you won’t be short of unusual phenomena which will defy your perceptions of reality. Ghosts, demonic possessions, psychic abilities; you don’t need to be in one of those pretentious coastal elite cities to find plenty of paranormal activity here in Kansas. Consider visiting Wichita for all your extrasensory travel needs! Come one and come all, to bewitching Wichita— where weird shit happens ______________________________ (111 words) Form: Haibun once upon a cold and dreary Christmas Eve I found myself with a momentary reprieve so I visited a cozy nearby cafe and ordered my usual vanilla latte caffeine in hand, I returned to my car then glanced up and saw a bright shooting star it passed overhead and shot right on by with the sound of... jingling bells? up in the sky upon closer inspection the “shooting star” became clearer it was actually a sleigh with a red-nosed reindeer steerer! as it faded into the distance I heard a great THUNK and looked to my car, which now sported dents in the trunk I checked out the damage and it was extensive the body work alone would be quite expensive detritus of milk and cookies was scattered around candy cane and chocolate bits could also be found I stared down in shock at the damage that had been wrought and struggled to come to terms with a small nagging thought as much as we all loved that big jovial lug was it also possible that Santa was a careless litter bug? ______________________________ (182 words / 20 lines) Prompt: Quatrain My sweet secret admirer.

I ache. One after another they take their turn assailing me with fists. I hurt. My silence taken for consent, this is not the life I would choose. I yearn. Blows send me sprawling to the floor, but I bounce back up, defiant. I stand. Let’s see them try and keep me down, I refuse to yield to their strikes. I’m proud. You can’t hurt that which cannot feel, I’m numb to your constant abuse. I win. --- The punching bag was built to hit, but does that mean it does not feel? It does. The victims of abuse may not have a voice to raise in protest. They count. ______________________________ (119 words / 11 lines) Prompt: Synchronicity Sail the depths of a dark and deathly sea, pulled by corpse sailors dredged from the Undersea.
