In response to "Return"

Oh, interesting comment! I hadn't looked at it like that but I see what you mean. To me, it seemed one of those prompts that tells the story for you and I was just attempting to subvert that by taking an unusual line. They addressed me as the father, so I thought about how I'd feel as the father and expressed that, at the same time avoiding having to continue a story in which the punchline has already been stolen by the prompt.

As regards mystery, that comes of having only one half of a conversation - we never hear what the daughter is saying and have to work that out for ourselves. ;)

I wish I'd not read the prompt, I really enjoyed the mystery you maintained here in your poem.

In response to "A Slight Adjustment"

LOL, Blueyez, I can't deny the thought of WDC crossed my mind as I was writing this. But typos are sent to plague me. No matter how many times I edit, there's always at least one that slips through.

"(Thern) he brightened and said ..." typo?

Good story. I really like your characters.

After I finished reading, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps stars mean nothing at all in the end. Much like many things here in WDC land.

Modern Art

Modern Art

A fine mistake it would surely be
if readers should be made to see
that my intent right from the start
is to create what might be art,
and since I do it in the present
its modernness is surely meant.

And if I say things in strange ways,
it’s just because my personal days
occurred when all the poetic greats
have had their say and become late.
The matters that concerned them then
need no restatement once again.

So if I speak of things today,
appropriate it is to say
in language quite contemporary
and methods revolutionary,
the better to speak unto my peers
and weave my spell about their ears.
