Read Write Prompt #99: Setting the Scene
This week Andre challenges us to &#8220;write a poem that tells a narrowly focused story — a “scene” — without telling the story. Instead, convey the essence of the scene through your description of the world in which it takes place and the “characters” (who don’t have to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=zouxzoux.wordpress.com&blog=2337584&post=363&subd=zouxzoux&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

 karma ~ obey ~ wither.


Toxic Karma
