I'm new here - just found this site. Love this thread - have played a game like this via email and really enjoyed it! Hope to be a regular. That introduction out of the way, my first submission. Enjoy! [cue drum roll...]

chocolate slivers melt the sting
of her betrayal;
succor grief’s stomach knots;

Hello! I hope I can also participate!
my empty stomach gives way
to my empty heart today
in this summer morning
is she really gone?
Interesting work you guys. I'm lazy, so no commentary.
Pen, your turn.
Caught me off guard there! Thank you.
How about Mother Nature, perhaps in the sense of surviving even after all man has done to trash this world. A few carefully chosen words are better than many. June 15 is the deadline. Good luck.
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
The world lives,
so it has and so it will,
despite your phlegm.
Prayer to Mother Nature
Mother Nature may you see
All the good you'd want from me.
Rather than dancing in the rain
It rains when she dances.

… and somewhere under the concrete
and cement and asphalt and steel and glass,
under the weary pavements and jaded streets,
the wasted buildings, the throttled cars and trucks,
she lies in awaiting, uncomplainingly,
she hopes and dreams and sighs in pain…
… and time, time, time her faithful lover…

"Im Arm der Liebe schliefen wir selig ein…" ("Liebesode" - Otto Erich Hartleben)
New poetry collection available (Kindle and paperback)
She Remembers
Sorrow lingers
with deep impenetrable scars,
who still hears?
A voice long forgot
but resiliency trembles,
she is the one who
will not forget.
Pained love
becomes shadowed
in anger.
Her waking wrath
soon, poor ungrateful
dears.
She will swallow
back into the womb
and life begin anew.
