Oh great and glorious TaskMaster: we salute thee!
Prompt for: February 23, 2013
Subject or Theme: The Task or Taskmaster (that's me, in case you're not sure)
Word(s) to Include:
Forbidden Word(s): (no curse words)
Additional Parameters: None.


All Hail the TaskMaster!


Taskmaster: nebulous, all-seeing being--
who prompts our every word,
who, with assured dignity,
giveth and taketh away
the very words
we are allowed
to write; or say and
who assigns
the marrow

leaving us

the tasked, the prompted, the tiered

to create
the skeletons of phrases,
to define
the essence of the proscribed,
to refine and mold and thenā€¦



to set free
to cast away
to fling in full flight


our renderings.
