It’s Saturday night
and I’m stuck here
peeling fruit
I want to go dancing
but no
it’s fruit, fruit, fruit
that’s all anyone thinks about
well not me
I want to be an architect
but first I just want to go out
and have a good time
worst of all
I’m allergic to fruit
She really looks like she is thinking that!

Great prompt, though I probably went a bit too dark for the real meaning of the term – blame it on some of the books I’m reading at the moment that are a bit nihilistic! 🙂
Dark is always alright by me you did a great job

Thank you kindly Leovi =)
I love love love this prompt! To me it’s about, absolutely whenever possible, not allowing anyone or anything else to set my agenda. There is always something bigger.
Awww thanks Heather I am glad you liked it and you certainly nailed it!

Are there form requirements. I wrote sort of a Puente haibun that might fit this bill –
It is here:
Puente: point a to point b
If it does fit, let me know and I’ll add my link, your prompt link, and information.
There are no form requirements. For the freestyle you can submit anything poems (any form), stories, photos, videos, artwork anything at all. The shadorma prompt and haiku prompt hosted on Saturday and Wednesday are the only challenges with form requirements.
