Sleepwalking – WOW – Whiteout Challenge #8

For this week’s White Out Wednesday Challenge. This is the jumbled splash of words I got from the original text that you can read HERE. and below that is my own scribbling. A new challenge this week…move the lines around. I played it safe and moved just one line out of sequence. I think it worked out okay. Thanks Pat for another fun lunch break exercise. Back to work! 🙂

Sleepwalking is
hope infused
with beauty
and light, dreams
crystallize into
reality; a pity
I don’t want
more. What
difference
does it make?
I never want
for anything.
Actually, it’s
a dream to be
dreaming. I
make my little
plans and feel
a tinge of
gratitude.
Miraculous
universe,
remarkably
dangerous!

White Out Wednesday #8

By Kat Myrman

My take on this week’s Whiteout Wednesday text prompt. This is such a fun and interesting challenge. If you would like to give it a try, click HERE.

cold, ugly, imperfect…
teeth flapping in the wind
it all hurts
this face that looks back
makes everything nothing
only yesterday,
breathing
only yesterday,
waiting to be something
then someone says,
have a heart to forget,
a mind to suffer.
You, over there, you in the front
selling love over death.

WOW – White Out Wednesday Challenge #7

By Kat Myrman

I discovered a new challenge this week by my friend Pat at Black Cat Alley. Each week she provides the text and you are challenged to “white out” bits of text to create a new story…or verse. This week’s text is from Tova Martin’s Romance in Bloom: Plants with Ties to Love or Heartache. It’s a fun concept. If you’d like to give it a try, click HERE for the details.
