Poetry for the Masses!

[thesilentpoet.livejournal.com]

Prompt calls for the Poetry for the Masses is now open! This round's theme is "family", whether blood, blended, chosen, or adopted (and whether you chose and/or them or they chose and/or adopted you).

All characters from my main series are fair game.

Poems will be posted December 1-3, 2012. Prompt calls will remain open throughout posting.

Perks:

At $5, I will write a bonus haiku! (&for every additional $5 thereafter)
At $15, I will post the poem 'Double Exposure', in which Charlie comes out to his parents.
At $25, I will post the poem 'Revelations', in which Miles and Reid are sent to retrieve a time travel device. This poem was prompted by ysabetwordsmith.
At $30, I will post the special bonus story starring Alex's adopted daughter
At $50, well... let's see if we get there, eh?

Let the prompting commence!

Prompts

* Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

* The pain of realizing that you care more about someone than they do about you, and that your conceptualization of "family" differs greatly from that of your relatives.

* Blood is thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood.

From your prompt 'Blood is thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood', I have the poem 'Resurrection'. See how Kyril saves one person he's always loved, and how it pains him in the end.

34 lines. Like last month, I'm holding this at 'pay-what-you-will', so whatever you deem appropriate, or can afford.

From your prompts, 'Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in', I got the poem 'Where the heart is', see how Anya and the others help Reid to heal after his great loss.

22 lines. Like last month, I'm holding this at 'pay-what-you-will', so whatever you deem appropriate, or can afford.

From your prompts 'Family Gatherings' and 'The Youngest and the Oldest', I have the poem El Dia de los Meurtos, a look into Miles' family's traditions.

55 lines. Like last month, I'm holding this at 'pay-what-you-will', so whatever you deem appropriate, or can afford.
