Obsessed with Mormon Blogs?

It seems other people are too.

Round Robin Storytime

Since I have yet to post, I thought I'd kick things off with a Jo-inspired interactive. Everyone add a sentence or two or up to a paragraph at their leisure and we'll see where the story takes us.

Running down the muddy, rutted dirt road at full speed, Abigail desperately tried to keep her one-size-too-large boots from slipping off of her feet.

Who Deserves to Live?

Weeds are mighty tanks,

Storming down long lines of orderly flowers

Who wait pathetically for

Whatever fate awaits them.

Weeds are poisoned,

Pulled up and murdered,

But grow stronger

Because they have to fight.

While the flowers wail for water, or

Fertilizer, or

A nicer temperature,

The weeds battle just to live.

Gardeners complain.

Weeds attack the flowers! but don't they know

That the flowerbed is the sanctuary from Weed-B-Gon?

So answer me this:

Who deserves to live?

We take so many things for granted: all weeds are bad and ugly; all "classic literature" is actually good. I'm not usually the poetry type, but I found that this was the best way to get my message across: think outside the box, dang it!
