Once I got started it was actually fun. One or two lines even seem sort of ok, but the beginning will stop most readers before they get that far. http://pasaery.wordpress.com/ This weeks prompt: Write on a subject that makes  you feel ill-at-ease using words you’ve never used before in a form you’ve never heard of and from a viewpoint you’ve never even driven past.

Pushing myself a bit outside my comfort zone, I explored a repetitive writing technique I'd been kicking around for a while. There may be a formal name for this technique, but I don't know if there is? I also pursued rhyme in this work, something I seldom do. <a href="http://www.image-verse.com/shut-down" rel="nofollow"><i>Shut Down</i></a> This is the third and final poem prompted by Mary’s process.
