Hello again!
For those of you who are regulars, welcome back.
For those of you who are new, here are the rules (or lack of them).
Basically, just select one or more of the five word prompts and include them in a poem. The poem can centre around them or merely mention them. In fact it doesn't need to include the actual word, you can simply allude to it if you wish.
The poem can be as long or short as you want and you can enter as many times as you want. There's no competition or winners anymore, but please make sure to include a link in the comment section.
Also, I've been pretty slack on Vocal lately so it might take me a while to get to them all but I will eventually!
Thanks to everyone who has supported/ participated in the previous ones.
The Prompts:
- Autopsy
- Airborne
- Clear
- Rope
- Curl
Previous Editions:
Happy writing! :)

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)

36 Hours
I managed to weave my way out of the Beacon Theatre on Broadway, follow the street lights past West End Ave., and cross Riverside Dr without fearing the shadows of New York City. A man was playing the saxophone by the Henry Hudson Parkway, the acoustics he created under the bridge stopped me cold in my tracks and transported me to a romantic film. A newfound longing to have somebody next to me appeared in the pit of my stomach and I lost myself in the cast of the low lighting. The perfectly placed human being sharing and creating one of the most critical moments of my life was a stranger I would never see again. I picked up the pace when I heard a splash signaling the waterfront past the H. R. Greenway and within seconds, I saw the horizon open up before me. The lights and the noise of the city fell behind, the full-moon played hide-and-seek with the skyscrapers to my left, and the sound of the breeze closing the night from the right created peace I'd been searhing for and a kind of love I never knew existed. The wind swept up courage from the Upper West Side and blew it through my hair; it was only then that I know how to celebrate a magnificent night.

Hi Poppy. Thank you for the prompts! I used this set (3 out of 5 actually) for my Dialogue Poetry entry. https://vocal.media/poets/the-nature-of-our-arguments I hope that’s okay. I didn’t see a rule against that, but if I messed up I’ll just take it out of the official vocal one!
Howdy, Poppy. As always, thanks for the prompts -- I love how they really inspire me to put ideas down. Here's my contribution for this go round: https://vocal.media/poets/autopsy-of-the-mind
