Secret Keeper runs a weekly poetry challenge here – http://thesecretkeeper.net/2015/10/26/weekly-writing-prompt-8/ .
This week’s prompt words were: liquid – story – sound – mind – gate. I like to try and use them all in a single, coherent haiku…
Gates of a sound mind
Dissolve to liquid fury
Hearing that “story”

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

A Certain Point of View 
I am in awe. Truly, to have so many words you HAVE to use, in one fashion or another would simply blather me out. A testimony to your talents! 🙂

I suppose you’re right–but I’m quite convinced of your brilliant expertise 🙂 (I was going to say, “okay, now you’re just showing off”, but wasn’t sure if you’d hear it in the right spirit–which was meant well!)

Ha ha! I can take it! I was planning on doing two more haiku with the prompts, but I genuinely did think that would be going too far… 🙂
