Brain Rot: (n.)
Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially
viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online
content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something
characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration.
Such a
telling word, don’t you think?
The Oxford Word of the Year for 2025 is a phrase. Or a two-word noun, I suppose. Whichever way we spell it, dear poets and storytellers, brain rot casts a clear picture. And since I am known for enjoying a word that says it (writes it? shows it?) like it is, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to use said word in your poetry or prose.
Please, add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry. You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose. You may write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other writers. Read their contributions. Let your comments show them your lack of brain rot. 😜
next
week, Rommy will invite us to find
inspiration in the phrase “joy in chaos”.
Thank you Magaly!
