Golden Whispers in the Night
Prompt: What does the muse whisper to you?
I lie in wait
for want of
precious
clarity
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
Sheer drapes
finally alight
with the golden
wind of invitation
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
Summoning
prompting me
to retake my
place at the page
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
It matters
not the time
nor pangs of
hunger streaking
my face
gaunt in the
blinking light
of the
witching-hour
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡‧
I sit
with all
alacrity
keys beneath
fiddly fingers
jumping and tapping
frantically
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
That mystical
resource
creativity
clouding up
around me
my muse
I am
breathing
you in
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
Expelling
great opaque
dream-clouds
filled with
stanzas and lines
ready to
portion out
‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡
I dive in headfirst
swimming away
splashing around
in pools of letters
all day

A Transparent Look at Vocal Challenges and Top Stories
Almost three years ago, we shared a resource article that served as a place for people to suggest new challenge prompts. We thought it would be a good idea to refresh that thread, and take the opportunity to answer a few common questions about top stories, how challenges are judged and how submissions are reviewed.

I love your closing metaphor, totally my kind of imagery. 💖
