Envy

Everyone is more,
runs forward
from goal to goal.

Incandescent
out of me
away



Where is mine,
where am I,
what's this anyway.

Incandescent
out of me
away



A tree, a lake,
climbing water
feels awake.
Diving through the sun.

Incandescent
out of me
away



Blue, red, yellow -
pink, fluffy lights
swirl through thoughts
and cloud my sight.

Incandescent
out of me
away




You got him,
he got her,
get to sin with sensibility.

Incandescent
out of me
away

Swimming free,
going everywhere I wanna be,
if this envy didn't follow me.

Out of me!

So we have the first blogfesters in our midst.

You can still take part until next Wednesday. Write 60 words (if you can in 60 seconds) or write for 60 seconds including something with art. Post them or comment them on my blog.

I will collect 60 entries if we get that many and this will be our personal 60x60 writer's.

Don't forget, you can also win a CSNstores voucher for $20.

PS: Thank you for Donna Hole for spreading the word and also thanks to my friend Hanna la Kiw for joining the A-Z challenge in April. Everything is so exciting.

So this is my first blogfest to celebrate the first magical number: the 50th follower.
I went to a 60x60 concert this week, which gave me the idea of this challenge. 60 composers each had 60 seconds to bring give a statement through music. Interesting, but hard on the ears and strenuous on the mind. All the acoustic and sonic beats. The presenter said this has traveled from music to video to drama and others.
So why don't we writers do it, too.

First, I thought we could each write 60 words in 60 seconds. Tried it, never had more than 47, though. So this is the new blogfest challenge:

To take part, you have to:
1. be a follower. (obvious one)
2. write a piece of 60 words that contains art in any form.

Now:
3. Check for I'm, don't, It's - they count as two words.
4. post it on your blog or comment it here (don't forget link to post)
5. When: Sunday 6th - Wednesday 16th of March
6. spread the word if you can (extra points)
The winner of the CSN voucher will be announced on the 20th.

If we can get 60 pieces together, I will post the best ones as our own 60x60 collection.
If anyone manages to write decent 60 words in 60 seconds, this will be honoured of course.

And now to the prize:
CSN Stores has amazing online stores, where you can find everything from great cookware to beautiful bedroom furniture to chic lighting pieces! So the winner gets a $20 (£25 or 15€) voucher.
For UK, Germany, USA and Canada.

So here is my little piece. It's a poem that came out of the second round I tried to write for 60 seconds.
