Multiply this! Take your stupidity times your ego, then multiply that product by your sheer audacity, and what do you get? An indefinite number, which reflects the amount of your delusions.

Martha bought it all, the creams, the potions, retinol, exfoliate, the works! The ladies at the makeup counter salivated when Martha walked in. Well, she rejuvenated her skin so thoroughly, turning red like a lobster. A drunken Morton almost mistaked her

Hatching a plan
To disrupt the ceremony
I object Reverend!
I profess my feelings
For the beautiful bride
A epic romantic poem
Shakespeare would be jealous!
Now, as I tumble down
The stairs outside the church
I muse to myself
It always works in the movies!

Winter lingered…but #Spring could be just as stubborn, sweating through chilly days to clear away snow & ice, singing to the hard ground to coax out green grass & bejewelled flowers—
All for naught. Winter’s frosty temper struck the growth black & dead by dawn…

It wasn’t a problem, at first, how the critters #multiplied at night—they never figured out how, if it was normal for the species, or if it was the food, the water, something else—but things got more complicated when the primary specimen Trey brought back started breathing fire—

Maybe it's the part of the brain responsible for the ability to multiply. That seems right. Rejuvenation feels like multiplication on the inside, but that's obviously helped by things on the outside - the things that those who don't help, ultimately, spring to.

They went to the witch for #rejuvenation—
Imagine that, grey-haired & wrinkled as she was, & yet sitting on the secret to eternal youth! She smeared a magic salve on their eyes—they saw what they wanted for a time, slowly poisoning themselves the more they used…

hope springs from somewhere.
somewhere in the landscape of dross
is a golden daffodil,
its petals gleaming oh so briefly in the pale light.
it has captured the sun
and holds it hostage for a brief moment
since ours has been obscured by smog
and hazy smoke.

#fastprompt 231:5

Spring has come.
But it's come with regret.
Its come with emptiness.
A part of your soul didn't survive the winter
Even as the world moves forward
You're still stuck in the cold

Bright Yellow Daffodils in Full Bloom Outdoors

Daffodils still fill with bliss
And bring the spring I dared to kiss
A pulsing heart to fill the space
Love the gold that you can trace.

problems they all multiply
I am but one and they are many
I have not a sword, nor would
but if I could, I'd chop
the whole damn lot down
and start fresh.
who said spring cleaning
couldn't be a mess?

#fastprompt 231:4

I think I sought too much
and too hard
for rejuvenation.
i forgot to live.
all it took was one week
of wrong
and all the right
is all downhill.

#fastprompt 231:3

they tell you that growth
is best done as soon as you can
but at your own pace.
what they do not say
is that when the seed is rotten
growth turns into tangled weeds
and endless vines
draped across a canopy of fallen trees.

He said be fruitful and multiply.
He never said we were the only planet he told to do so.
We would find out that our definition of war was childs play to rest of them

Her father measured the #growth of her horns every day. They were coming in lopsided: the left one was a whole 5cm longer than the right. And then, two weeks later, a third one appeared—a stub in the middle of her forehead.
“Your mother only had one,” Papa sighed.

Those present at the #hatching watched in horror as the trembling princess emerged, clutching her first blade. That was proper enough, but everything else—the squinting pink eyes, the taloned feet, the wet feathers sprouting on pale arms—that was terribly wrong.

I am dreams unhatched
Wilted in the sun detached.
I am begun without begin
A beginning to beginnings
An ending to end.
I have no words to share this day
I wish it all would go away.

You don't need rejuvenation. You don't need an energy cleanse. You don't need to reinvigorate yourself. What you need is love yourself.
You spend so much time in the darkest corners of your mind, you deserve break. Take a walk through the happiness for once
Allow yourself to smile

We can get this year.
Out with the old
In with the new.
Burn away your fears and tears.

Growth is hampered by the brier and the bramble, but it's not stopped by it. You wonder if, at a certain point, what grows entangled within it can pull all of that as the growth happens. Or is it all, by some strange design, often otherwise.

You have no growth
You have no income
You have no hope
You are drowning in debt
But this business meant everything to you
That's why you tried to make a deal with the devil.
So why is Ares standing in front of you instead?

New shoots up from forest floor
A spot of growth and room for more
Grows a tall black walnut tree
Shade for you and shade for me.

Someone made eggs out of sand, and they hatched. Or, they seemed to have ...
Wings were apparent in the grains around where the formerly wet clumps had dried and gave way to something ... Maybe.
Whatever the case may be you, you volunteer to get buried in the sand now.

An idea hatched the moment she saw him. It was a terrible idea but she decided to pursue it anyway.
She would make him hers.
She didn't even know his name yet
But that would come soon enough
She would have the rest of her life with him if she could help it

Empty cracked egg with tally marks drawn inside and tiny chick prints drawn walking away

You wonder when it will hatch
When new life emerge
Blinking into the sun
A worm for mom, a bit for son.

The #cyborg was waiting when she got home. She refused to think of it as her cousin anymore. Too much changed after the recent software update. “Ren” started pushing her too hard to get her own augmentations…tonight, it wasn’t going to take “no” for an answer…
