This is awesome. Thanks for the shout out.
There is plenty to admire about this. I love the way you effortlessly transition from prose to poetry. It's hardly even noticeable except for the line breaks, and that's what clued me in. I've been rolling this notion around in my head for a while, a poem that begins as prose transitions to verse then ends in prose again. I'd have written it by now, but I haven't decided upon a theme. You've beaten me to it (and likely aren't the first to have done this, but the first I've seen it--that I recall).
Anyway, I'd love to have you participate in our next #exquisite-corpse exercise. If you have the time, you might join in our current #farmpunk fiction contest. You'd be a welcome addition to either of these writing exercises.
And one more invite - join us in the Speculative Fiction Writers of Steemit Discord community. We're small but growing.
@blockurator,
I told you so, didn't I? Block, Marg has chops. She's viciously creative and can write anything you throw at her, poetry or prose ... or both. She has a natural intuition for the psychological, sociological and the philosophical. And, she has an ability to employ humor in a manner that is both subtle and sublime.
You need to FORCE her to participate in your challenges. I'll help.

I don't force anyone. It's against my morals. I'm very good at seducing, however.
The much deserved praise for her work which I was about to accord her, was partly put forth here. Nice
