Thanks to Floreta of Solitary Panda for this week's prompt, denouement. Here are her poem and photograph:

We begin at the end

Resolution raises
Possibilities

Mr. Linky appears to work right now. However, you may not see Mr. Linky on past posts. This is because I have to re-code each individual post. I have now re-coded Prompts 59 (April 11, 2009) to 83 (Sept. 28, 2009). I will be re-coding all old posts as quickly as I can.
Because of the Mr. Linky problems, you may find this blog (and all Mr. Linky blogs) is loading slowly. This seems to be because it has to load individual Mr. Linkys for each post instead of using the script calls from the template. This problem may continue forever. But at least we have Mr. Linky now.
Thank you.

Prompt 64: Tolerance


Thanks to Gina of Kilauea Poetry for this week's prompt, tolerance. Thanks to her also for the photo above and the poem below.


"Against Such Things"...
 
Virtue n.) Specifically, moral excellence; integrity of character; purity of soul; performance of duty... 


T olerance..from the top of the sea saw I hear you call- your hair in mid air looking down on me- 

O h tolerance, I say squinting.. is no virtue at all.. just patience, watered down ya see.. 

L evel..isn't as lovely sounding- but, it's not a one way street..good for me.. oh but not for you- 

E asy now, while I'm hopping..my knees are bent- but I'll be hoping.. you'll be hearing me too & 

R emember, don't ya run out in the street...and well

A lign..just happens to come to mind.. cause all my thoughts get crossed-
 
N ow a plumb line's best for tracking, as the wind could blow anywhere 

C ause we..we won't have a foundation..like the board that goes under me & you? 

E asier if it's a two way street..and remember, don't ya take candy from strangers- 

But the fruit of the Spirit is- 
love, 
joy, 
peace, 
patience, 
kindness, 
goodness, 
faithfulness, 
gentleness, 
self-control; against such things there is no law -Ga 5: 22

Prompt 63: What's It Like?


First of all, it's Harold Robbins. It's Nancy Friday. It's "My Secret Life" and "Make Me" by Sonja Kindley. It's the "Readers Fantasy Forum" in Playgirl Magazine.

It's wet dreamsRubbing off. Vibrators, body parts, lost souls, breaking hearts, dildos.

It's The Lover by Marguerite Duras. It's Georges Bataille, Anias Nin, and Anne Rice.

It's Fanny Hill, Fear of Flying, Goblin Market, and Lolita.

It's John Preston, Sera Gamble, Susie Bright, Richard Labonte, and Shanna Germain. 

Imagine running naked through your neighborhood. It’s joy. Rebellion. 
It's a buzz, coming out of the closet, a morning after kind of truth. It's spilling the milk, missing a step. It's not academic. It's cocks and cunts.


It's this age-old argument about art. 
It's deciding whether or not to use a pseudonym. 
It's prejudice. It's telling your son the truth anyway.

It's in the face of paranoia: it's a risk.

Friends say, you leave your car unlocked, your windows open?
Sex is the window to the soul.

Picture this: you're five years old

And trust somebody then he molests you.
Imagine every time you open your mouth your father beats you.
It's the Creation Story. It’s irrational, hopeful, painful. 


Thanks to Alana of After the Pole for this prompt and image.
