BINGO

[ysabetwordsmith]

 I have made bingo across Row 1 of my 11-3-15 card for the Disaster Bingo fest.  I've also made 8 additional fills, for a total of 13, which is right on my average for a monthly fest.

Row 1:
"The Open Secret" -- group effort -- The Time Towers
"Holding Hope and Love" -- asking for help (and getting it) -- Polychrome Heroics
"Building Your Wings on the Way Down" -- comforting touch -- Polychrome Heroics
"Magical Place" -- reaching beyond a limitation -- standalone
"To Change the Audience" -- identity crisis -- Polychrome Heroics

Row 2: 
"When the Wheels Come Off" -- emotional overload -- Love Is For Children
"Laughing Because Life Is So Horrible" -- re-defining pieces of a bigger problem -- Polychrome Heroics
"From the Deepest Parts of Ourselves" -- trust someone -- Polychrome Heroics

Row 3:
"What I Can Ethically Read Aloud" -- limiting the damage -- Polychrome Heroics
"No Matter How Annoying" -- neglect -- Polychrome Heroics

Row 4:
"The Limits That It Discovers in Itself" -- personality clash -- Polychrome Heroics
"More Difficult Boundaries" -- talking out a problem -- Polychrome Heroics

Row 5:
"The Emptiness of Infinite Years" -- failing to plan ahead -- standalone

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Though, DO pay attention to the tags and warnings! Some of these are surprisingly STRONG pieces, given the 'fluffy' overtones in most. Well worth re-reading, let alone the first time through!

Well, yeah: disasters. Just not ones that can be solved by bashing people or things. In fact, some of them were caused by that.

Let's see ... "Holding Hope and Love" and "When the Wheels Come Off" are mostly uplifting.

"To Change the Audience," "Laughing Because Life Is So Horrible," "From the Deepest Parts of Ourselves," "What I Can Ethically Read Aloud," "No Matter How Annoying," "The Limits That It Discovers in Itself," and "More Difficult Boundaries" have some intense content with uplifting notes.

"The Emptiness of Infinite Years" is frankly horror.

As mentioned, read the warnings on poems that need them.

Even the 'darkest' is great for cathartic crying.

Oh. Yes, that's true. Some of what I write is great for that. Which is useful for folks who are having temporary or permanent difficulty in accessing sadness and/or tears. Here, have the literary equivalent of half an onion.
