:boing: QUOTES :boing:

“The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.”
― Poppy Z. Brite


:eager: THEME :eager:

"The room is illuminated by candlelight and all I can see is shadows dancing around or maybe, just maybe, ghosts are real."
(No stealy theme, I make them up :P)

:star: FEATURES :star:

An Artist's EpiphanyA tumultuous dance
of feverishly-crazed aspiration
leading to a splendorous cacophony
marred by “imperfection”
in the creator's eyes.
 
Hours, days, years
and it all comes ricocheting
off the walls
when you feel the sudden
It's not good enough.
 
The perversely comforting routine 
of chronically scarring the looming
alabaster canvas divebombs,
coming to a spasmodic halt;
All that for an erratic,
bittersweet,
lost of
love.
 
Daily life has lost its spice,
it is only a melody without music,
a group of disheartened soldiers 
pitiful of the self-induced toxic of loss.
 
But you are only to arrive at
The epiphany—
so you return, back
to escape velocity
and you try again.

ReclaimingOver time, new earth began to take over the abandoned estate. Gaia was reclaiming what was hers. by *Everlasting90


Thanks for submitting :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all :D

:star: SIDE NOTE :star:

These works have been moved to the featured folder, once we get over 5 entries we (the admins and I) well start judging them and see who gets into the featured folder! IF there is over 10 entries only 5 well be featured in the Prompts journal :) does that make any sense at all? ^^;

With :heart:,
*Foreststone
If you want to know what's going on with me (*Foreststone) and/or why I've been missing read this: [link] but please don't judge.
Thanks,
*Foreststone
P.S: THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT JUST SOMETHING TO TELL THE WATCHERS WHY I'VE BEEN UN-ACTIVE

Also another prompt well be up after the last one hit the two week mark!
