Re: What is a STC challenge?
sandspike,
STC stands for same title challenge. Echoes_s has picked the title "Only" and is asking other poets to write a poem with that title. Everyone will submit on the same day so they can all be viewed together. Echoes_s gets to pick the date, since it's her challenge.
(I won't say whether I can do it or not until I see the posting date
)

I'm in! I kinda like the unstructured bit to the challenge, but let's face it, Same Title Challenges are like getting a classroom full of ten year olds focused. We need guidelines.
echoes_s, a couple of questions if I may:
echoes_s, a couple of questions if I may:
- Is there a style you'd like us all to try?
- Is there a limit on length?
- When is this due?
- Where do we post it?

Anything goes as far as style, length and
seeing as it's on my review day so not to add burden to anyone's else...

okay I am in damn these things are difficult
anything to postpone this damn earth day story that will not leave my brain no matter how much my fingers tap
Homer, why not put out a stc OF "stc"
I have a thing or two I would like to say about stc's
think it would be a hoot

Okay, I'm in this Only STC only, since I haven't been productive lately—too lazy lookin' at them white walls for a month or so...
Who knows, it might even slap my muse around some.

for the early birds...they will not be missed.
I'm an early bird... I'd left a note, asking for the poem to show up with the others on the challenge, I think I screwed up on the dates though. Oh well.

And I'm late, so I'll post it here.
Only (A Cinquain Chain)
Only
here as the heart
holds a house once alive,
now tenuous memory threads
lonely
in time
like a river,
receding from my shores,
but flowing to an unknown sea
sublime,
where peace,
joining these ghosts,
awaiting the sister,
a daughter lives with their quiet
increase.
