Can you tell I just watched latest Superman & Star Trek movies? Smiles ~ Have a lovely weekend ~

This is not your usual style, but I really like it and am glad to see you experimenting, Grace!
ReplyDeleteJust changing things a bit ~ Thanks Laurie ~
DeleteA very interesting approach to the prompt here, Grace! Love it when someone tries something different. I do agree that the last straw is not often out of the blue...it has been building. Love 'bleeding fragments in space.'
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary ~ I like surprising people, ha ~
DeleteIm agree Grace always have these small ones oh My and these sometimes are a little difficult but I have to live with them!
ReplyDeleteLove this style!
ok i love the play with the word size and font....and you are right it is the little small ones...the 1000 papercuts that take us out eventually....also true on how it can hurl us on another path...each end is a new beginning....
ReplyDelete" endings//are//beginnings"
ReplyDeleteI like this rule of thumb. :-D
Happy weekend!
Comes up little by little, and when i actually get a paper cut I say things worse than hey diddle diddle lol
ReplyDeleteha - this is way cool...love the whole set up of the poem - its different fragments - has def. a space feel - did not see the newest superman so far - guess i need to do some catch up..smiles
ReplyDeleteVery avant-garde post !! I also like "endings//are//beginnings" The photo is kind of mind-blowing !!!!
ReplyDeleteCool experiments here. Like a collage.. and those endings are beginnings are so cool... I get impressions of a black-mail letter made out of newspaper clippings... :-)
ReplyDelete...clever to use idioms not alone in words but also on what you didn't convert to something solid & only stays light like the air we breathe Grace... i can def see the influences of the movies you watched here... endings are beginnings -- yes indeed as what i often think they are... your experimental vibe is quite inspiring that i kind of like wanna try it sometime in the future... smiles...
ReplyDeleteI like this
ReplyDeleteand must agree
that last straws are a long time coming
Are you a Trekki? Shouldn't start there but the reference makes me think of DH and that makes me smile. I'm a Trekki by association. Anyhoo, yes, yes, yes to it all. Though I still haven't quite gotten how the words in parentheses work. Did I mention I'm a lousy speller?
ReplyDeleteGreat way of treating idioms as a plaything, Grace! Brilliant twist!
ReplyDeleteHank
This is intense and dramatic, Grace. Beautiful response to the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThis one packs a punch for sure. Nice take on the prompt, Grace.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for bleeding fragments in space! What a great line. I like the experimentation here a lot- the experimental typography adds nuance where it may not have been noticed before. Great job! -Mike
ReplyDeletelove your style on this one... and your words... perfect, as always.
ReplyDelete"b l e e d i n g F R A G M E N T S in s p a c e "
wonderful, Grace.

Very interesting use of words and form in this one. It's like reading a picture.
ReplyDeleteGrace,
ReplyDeleteUniqueness creates art..fragments of you, fragments of me shattering all over the place..
Forgot, that picture is amazing..have a good week.
DeleteWow Grace. What you can do with idioms is amazing. How well you describe the angst of a writer, starting over again, the re-write, the new beginning. Loved this.
ReplyDeleteThis so good, so vivid and made even more so by the manner of writing and the photo - and clever working of the idioms.
ReplyDeleteWow. Bleeding fragments in space. Yes. The style, the photo, powerful stuff. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are a creative spirit. Thank you for commenting on Life by Chocolate, so that I could find and follow Everyday Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBe well, Grace.

Cool! a very novel way of writing and compliments the pic!
ReplyDeleteNice, hate paper cuts
ReplyDeleteI really love this. It's one of the most unique styles I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGreat style and flow...
ReplyDeleteLove visuals and
a love your clichés. Thanks
Bleeding fragments in space - I wish i had written this, excellent line and great format, very well done
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your formatting. I also try so hard to think of endings as beginnings. Endings make me very sad.
