Fishbowl Open!

[aldersprig]

ysabetwordsmith (ysabetwordsmith is having her monthly Poetry Fishbowl!

The theme this month is "Corruption and Redemption;"

Some of my prompts were:

"Corruption and redemption;" the first thing that comes to mind is the Prophecy movies, Gabriel fighting God for the salvation of mankind. So. Redemption through corruption; the grey, the place where something looks evil, becomes an enemy to remain a friend, falls to succeed.

The English Language has been called "as pure as a cribhouse whore," but there's a melody and a music and a rebirth to its corruption, isn't there? (rhyming couplets, or sonnets, in honour of Chaucer and Shakespeare, who corrupted and shaped the language, maybe?)

I've been watching a lot of Criminal Minds lately: the virgin/whore complex. Does it have a male counterpart?

A rite meant to corrupt that instead purifies. Or vice versa.

What happens when the witch hunters visit Monster House? We haven't seen them in a while.
