What Is Missing?
Negative Space challenge: The Prompt - Write a poem shaped by what's missing. Let an absence, omission, or empty space become as important as what you put on the page. Negative space is what surrounds the subject. In a poem, it can be silence, omission, white space, or the thing the speaker refuses to name. Write a poem shaped by what's missing. Maybe it's a person who never appears, a word you keep avoiding, a gap in a memory, or something the reader can feel without ever being told directly. Use form, line breaks, repetition, restraint, or even the space on the page itself to make that absence felt. Whatever approach you choose, the emptiness should do real work in the poem.

WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP
There is a Korean show called "When The Stars Gossip" and it is a bittersweet but wonderful story with one of my favorite actresses in it. It is the prompt to this wee brain that said what if the Stars are the true Gods? I always reflect on the Voyager picture of Earth as it heads out into the universe and how insignificant in size compared to the cosmos we are. Are the Gods we worship as small? In the end does the color of a person's skin matter? I can barely see the Earth much less even make out the borders in that final leaving picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
