The form

 #TSL Pandorathon May 12 "He looked at her, his eyes twin dots of anger. " Write on it in any form you like but use a form of some sort and specify what your form is.


Use this line in your prose / poem 


“He looked at her,

His eyes twin dots of anger”

“Really there’s no need

To look at me like this

I only asked you a question”

He stayed silent

But he still had his murderous glance

One could follow his train of thought.

“Another one, who should not be here”

He shook his head:

“What was your question again?”

“My question was, and still is:

What are the different forms of prose?

I get it for poetry, one gets verses as in sonnet,

Villanelle, Ghazal, Haiku, ballade,

Ode and roseate 

where one has to write in a corset 

So to speak.

But I’m stuck on the prose question

They are different genres certainly 

But concerning prose except for direct speech 

Or indirect speech I can’t make it out.”

If he makes a moves towards me

I am out of here.

He inhaled deeply,

Exhaled slowly

“ take a seat” he said

Put his hands forming a steeple on the desk

“Open your notebook,

You’ll have a masterclass!”

Here goes my lunch

What a silly idiot, I am

Got caught again! 

He looked at her,

His eyes twin dots of anger.
