SUPER TIRED!
Victoria and I were messaging one night and I told her I had to go because I was super tired! She started calling me SUPER TIRED as a super hero name. What is your super hero name or super power? Not one already used like spiderman, or superwoman but one you made up for your own special super power or super hero name.

Tad and Victoria Proof Prompt
This is a Tad and Victoria proof prompt. Neither of us will be able to post and old poem; and I promise to write a new one.
You know the internet game where you create phrase by letting the word suggester on your phone or tablet suggest words for you? Well, that's what this prompt is. Start with
a bit of
then enter the first letter of your first name, and let your word-suggester suggest a word, then another if necessary, till you have a usable phrase.
Then do the same with
a little bit more
followed by the first letter of your last name
Build your poem around those two phrases.
Mine are "a bit of the same problem" and "a little more recently"
Or if you don't like that one do the same with
Begin with
and
End with
Mine are "begin with this new version" and "end with respect"
So I'll be writing a poem around one or the other of these two memes.
If you don't have the sort of phone that does the word suggesting thing, Victoria will provide the phrases for you.

Fruit ripens just before the leaves begin to fall
This weeks prompt is by our newest member Paul Fowler -
You can use the line literally or figuratively. You can use the line in the poem but it isn't necessary as long as the poem implies the idea behind the line. Be imaginative and let your words flow.
