Working Title (MSP Creative Writing Curation)

I've returned, after a short holiday break. Here's a new years present for you all- some fantastic fiction and poetry, hot off the blockchain.

I wrote words on the walls
and I danced like a queen
as I burned down our farm
and your lies and my dreams

Death of the Moon by @paintingangels is made up of rhyming couplets and a staccato rhythm that just pounds her words into your brain. I love the message of getting your own, of not waiting around for a relationship to possible revive.

Marta vacuumed up the Christmas tree pine needles, cleaned up boxes and bows, and scoured the guest bedroom.

Holiday Clean Up by @jayna is such a strong piece of micro-fiction, but my favorite part about it is her inclusion of multiple drafts and discussion of the writing and editing process.

"Oh," Abby said. "Can she hear you?"
I looked at my mother’s corpse. "I don't think so," I said.

Easy Like Sunday Morning by @felt.buzz is an interesting piece of freewriting with a honed sense of irony.

"My destiny was written from my birth, or at least, that's what the earth says..."

Reborn by @zaxan is an origin story of the character Lyanna, from steemmonsters.

Maybe they should make a new word for sorry, Peter kept thinking as he shook hands and kissed tear-streaked cheeks.
Because they either don't know what they're saying or sorry is something very different from what I am feeling.

Peter by @honeydue parallels the loss of two people and how modern people cope using intense imagery and repetition.
