We have all heard of the word threads, the sentence threads, the story threads, etc, etc....

Old hat, this is a game I used to play in high school with a friend of mine, it is a random free-form prose thread...


Prose is writing distinguished from poetry by its greater variety of rhythm and its closer resemblance to the patterns of everyday speech. The word prose comes from the Latin prosa, meaning straightforward, hence the term "prosaic," which is often seen as pejorative. Prose describes the type of writing that prose embodies, unadorned with obvious stylistic devices. Prose writing is usually adopted for the description of facts or the discussion of whatever one's thoughts are, incorporated in free flowing speech. Thus, it may be used for newspapers, capers, magazines, encyclopedias, broadcast media, films, letters, debtor's notes, famous quotes, murder mystery, history, philosophy, biography, linguistic geography and many other forms of media.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose

You can add as many lines as you like but try to add a minimum of 4 and try to keep the prose in stanzas of four lines....please try to keep it free-form and spontaneous, just let it flow where your mind takes you..and have fun

I am a bit rusty but I will start....

The evening grew dim like a stale night in a Southern July summer
mist engrossed my senses, engulfing me in dream-like state of mind
my mind raced, my breath quickened as I succumbed to awe and wonder
beyond the lake I saw her dressed in nightmares as angels beckoned here home

The dress on her body flowed like water from a fountain
A site I envisioned in my mind if she were real
A vision of beauty that surpasses reality
The lovely woman that in my dreams steal
My sanity at night

As fireflies danced upon the water in some kind of mad insane choreography
silents screams calmed my senses as she walked on the water towards me
gazing into my eyes, I was captured and could only surrender to desire
as her haired flowed in an azure zephyr like a thousand demons on fire
my hands began to tremble, madly with calm serenity

And then I booted it. My life was never going to be the same again.
I was amazed by its beauty, speed and agility, it moves like an arrow, flying gracefully through the air.
My life had changed dramatically. This thing... called 'Ubuntu'... it was a miracle, it was like nothing there had ever been before.
I was stunned, and my heart stopped beating for a while, when I found Beryl, which transformed the stallion Ubuntu was, into a graceful and noble gazelle. My desktop is finally a masterpiece, it is finally the way I want it, I finally have no more viruses, spyware, malware, adware. I am complete now.

PS: Yeah, I know, I suck, both because I lack the talent but English is not my native language, either :)

The drums beat deep in the distance of the darkness
of the primeval forest, drums beating hard and fast
Chanting rising above the darkness, as she held out her hand
ùu-búun-tù, ùu-búun-tù rang in chorus beyond the electrifying drum circle

The ancient lizard glided by, its wake a seething broil
of flotsom and fractured reflections of the canopy above.
Follow it he said, but I sat tranfixed by the receeding reptile.
Crikey, he yelled and jumped in after it.

It lead me through cold water to an open cavern
I swam to the edge and got out of the water
a cough alerted me to another presence in the room
"Dr. Benway, I presume"
