Prose

I am working on my prose for my class tomorrow evening and wanted to share something with you. Kaye, our instructor, gave us a list of famous fiction, prose, and short story writers and mentioned her favorites, Russell Edson and Yasunari Kawabata.

I read a few by each and here is the link for the one I want to share, http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fall/

If we do not know what prose is, we are not to look it up. We are to read prose and emulate it. She gave us a prompt - write about a holiday but do not use any of the props associated with that holiday. Write about it so we know what holiday it is without its normal words of identification.

Taking classes has been one of my favorite things all my life and this one is no exception. That old cliche, learning opens up new worlds, is so true.

Hope you like the prose and if anyone wants to try his (her) hand at our prompt, I'd love to read it.

until next time...c
