Seconds. Content Warning.
Introduction This is the first challenge entry that I have written since Vocal has fixed my ability to publish. I woke during the night and came up with a hybrid poetry form, the terzareyu, a cross between terza rima and Senryū (川柳). Look them up for what the forms are.

A Poet?
Me and Poetry Before Vocal I wrote very little poetry, most of it was free form and did not stick to formal structures. I only published on my blog and then that was it. I am not sure how many people saw my work and whether most of it was just robots but I was glad that I could just get the words down on Seven Days In via my keyboard, knowing that as long as there is power and the internet my words will always be there if people look for them, though coming across them might be just by luck rather than judgement.

Experiment IV - An Excercise In Monitoring Vocal Reads
Very Low Reads On Vocal I am always looking for greater insight into things and the problem above is something that has slightly bothered. Firstly I know from interactions with my Vocal audience and people outside of my Vocal audience that my stories are being read.

Harder Times On Vocal For Me
Introduction Although I have published over 3,800 stories on Vocal, I am spending more and more time looking for stories to reuse, like this one. I think when we publish stories, we also hope it will get noticed as a Top Story, Challenge Place, Leaderboard or maybe someone will share it in Raise Your Voice.
