The world of poetry and literature have taken a downfall. When you think back to Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Rainer Maria Rilke, William Blake(my personal favorite), there has been a drastic change. Yes, over time change is expected, but I believe we can all agree that the (what I call) "Elizabethan" wording and word choice is the most elegant.
With this being said, I challenge you to write about an inanimate object every day. You can use whatever type of wording you want. You can make it a ballad of how a chair became the setting of an old man's last breath, or anything you can find.
Good luck to you all and please send me the link to your poetry in my comments. Also I edit and critique, just inbox me the title and genre and I will tell you what I would like in return. Thank you so much!

Hi there, I'm Momoka! I've always wanted to give poetry a try, so why not now? I thought it would be a good idea to have an outlet for whatever swamp-like state my brain is in. I also want to mention a quick [TRIGGER WARNING] as many poems contain mentions of darker subjects. If you are sensitive to those subjects then please, discretion is the better part of valour! Thank you for reading. c.mComplete

Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔
❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes. This books contains my: Poems 105- & Quotes 96-175. Formerly known as: ❛My Poems and Quotes Book (Vol. II),❜ 2017-2020. Volume Two of My Poems and Quotes. Feel free to check out Volume I, labelled as ❛Body,❜ on my profile. Don't forget to vote and comment; I love engaging with you guys! :D ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿Complete
Coherence ✔️
COMPLETED, next poetry collection coming soon This is a poetry collection that is both ever updating and ever changing. This collection of poetry isn't exactly traditional or ever a solid complete piece of prose, I am ever adding and changing and morphing them into something I feel is better or is more to what I feel suits the character or the emotion I wrote the poem to embody. That being said, this collection has some works alike the past one that I made a few years back that doesn't quite hold up to standard today. I have poems that I have remade and moved into this collection, so If you have come from the previous collection know that if you recognise the theme it's because of that. I created this intended as both a challenge to write some feelings into something productive as-well as to write some inspired works made for a character I made as I wrote the poem or for a event or piece of media I enjoyed. Nothing is ever solid or at least their perspective will change as I write the poem or rewrite it. Anyways enjoy, I try not to be too pretentious but I don't really care because again this is a vent piece of work.Complete
Hunger Hotel (II AU)
(TW: blood, gore, death, murder, rotting, maggots, drowning, cannibalism, forced cannibalism, self harm, su1cide) MePhone, MePad, and Taco oddly disappeared, and Knife and Suitcase are away doing their final challenge. The hotel residents are uneasy, but when their only food source is cut off, they find out just how bad things can really get. (This is my first Wattpad AU!!) (This AU takes place during Inanimate Insanity Season 2 Episode 16)Complete![What's It Like Outside? [An II Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/357508878-256-k550629.jpg)
What's It Like Outside? [An II Fanfiction]
i disown this fic lmao i made so many weird and uncomfortable writing choices in it. keeping it up for archival purposes only. Baseball, Lightbulb, and eventually Balloon are captured by Test Tube and forced to partake in experiments that slowly get more and more dangerous. Meanwhile, their friends back at Hotel OJ are desperately trying to find them. (Yes, this is another one of those evil Test Tube experiment fics lol) Trigger warnings: kidnapping , torture , psychological distress , unethical experiments , blood descriptions , electrocution , serious injuries (each chapter will have its own tws these are just the commonly reoccurring ones) Inspired by Inanimate Experiments, Experiment 21 & the song Telescope by Cavetown There will be polybrights mentions during the sections at Hotel OJ (or just outside of the lab in general) jic that bothers anyone. (That's Paintbrush x Lightbulb x Test Tube x Fan btw) (Test Tube and Lightbulb's relationship isn't romantic at all after the prologue though dw) Note: This is the first fanfiction I've ever wrote, so it might be a little rough around the edges. The upload schedule also won't be very consistent since I'm just working on this whenever I feel motivated to. Hope you enjoy!Complete
i need you - an inanimate insanity au
To be right but cause death, or cause life but be wrong? A simple project for college gone haywire. Death, murder, mystery, jail. Objects are gaining misfortune left and right. It's Test Tube's fault, isn't it? Or is it Fan's? Taco's? MePhone4's? Knife's? Who knows. But they need to stop it, whoever is doing it... Before it gets too out of hand. It is time for Test Tube to go to college, and to get to her dream college, she needs to do a project. And of the projects, the most interesting is an experiment. She collects others for her experiment, but she didn't know it would come to this. . • began: january 19th, 2023 ended: july 27th, 2023 story and art by me inanimate insanity by AnimationEpic • .Complete
Inanimate Downpour
Upon the closure of MePhone's reality show, Inanimate Insanity, one final challenge was formed from a nuclear accident spreading across the island; to survive. 28 contestants, 1 hotel basement, 0 chance of revival. It's up to them to decide whose fates are sealed in the now-barren and dangerous wasteland of an island. Those sent off for resource or assistance may never return. NOTE: S3 contestants (and box) do not feature in the storyline. also its kinda different from the ii18 ending but its not that confusing i dont think illust: goldenbarrel writing: meperson4jfif, ijustatesomepizza, goldenbarrel a few chapters may release at the same time as others due to them being pre-planned ****warning for upcoming vulgar language, disturbing imagery/description and overall icky stuff!!**** continue if you wish ^_^
BFB STARVATION AU
What would they do to satisfy their hunger? How long will it be until they go insane? For these competitors, they'll do anything to win, even if it means eating their friends. Four has always loved the idea of revival but never got the hang of it. Despite this, the integer, along with their pal X, starts a game show with 64 competitors taking part. All is well until a problem occurs. The objects start to complain about their hunger, which has never been a problem for algebraliens like Four. And so, these objects are stranded in an unfamiliar land, one without food, one without family, one without rules. In this land of zero contact, objects begin to starve, objects begin to go insane. Maybe it is up to a brave few objects to try to take control and limit the deaths and cannibalism. However, will they use their power for good? Or will they abuse it to the point of no return? And as for those other objects... They're hungry. And they'll do anything it takes to survive.
