Thrive to spite them

So I've done a few more poetry prompt things in Second Life. Not all of them are worth sharing.

but "meat safe" is the prompt today and this is what I came up with. Too many ideas were going on so I kind of tightened it up

Hannibal
Gore porn

It's on tv freely

The censors so afraid of nudity
But they let the bodies have more blood

Censors love it

More than

Kisses
Caresses
Barenakedness

Because nudity is shame and sex is shame but

Violence is what we

Live for
Die for
Watch for

The new sport

Watching hannibal
The cannibal

Saw comes on at 2 pm on Saturday
Blurred only some, the worst bits but not all the blood

Approved blood must be
violently sourced

Drained from veins
Exploding from brains

Censors balk and blanche at
Blood on Kotex
Playtex or tampex

We can't hurt delicate sensibilities

So it's
Blue water
On white cotton

Because it's
(hushed whispers now)
Shameful
It's
(stage voice now)
vulgar

But Hannibal can have more blood and gore
Saw can be on 2 pm on Saturday

They crave and crave and crave Blood as it sprays
Arterial
As it drips
And drops
From slow tortuous cuts

Censors agree
That's okay

They squirm and turn away from
Blood not violently torn from
A female

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Damn, askye. That cuts like a knife. (Sorry, but your imagery has gotten under my skin.)

Thank you.

I haven't been doing these poetry prompts much but I need to because when the prompt is good for me it brings up all kinds of things.

I really need to find some ... critique group or a workshop group in SL so I can improve what I write.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dang, askye. That's good.

Because books.

I love this, askye.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Really powerful, askye.

Always Anti-fascist!

I am in a workshop with the most eager writers on earth. I feel like Larry David at a pep rally. I need to stop doing these things.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Thought you all would find my new short story of interest: "The Library a Thousand Earths Away."

Because libraries ...
