    Untold Love

    I loved my friend
    And it did not end
    As we went to war
    Where many a whore
    Comforted our souls
    Letting us fill holes
    Of enemy arrows,
    Their crimson blows.

    On this day I recall
    Us together, and all
    I then wished to tell him
    in this hell all too grim.

    Roses are red
    (though not all roses, some are white or pink then there's those little yellow ones..)
    Violets are blue
    (Hang on, Violets - blue? That can't be right, sort of purpley I'd've said. I think they do white ones now as well.)
    Like love,
    It's complicated.

    Welcome Back

    What's in that particular you?
    A blind guess is more than a few
    Continue on, I'd say
    You asked this yesterday
    The question was your answer too

    Contest is over.

    prendrelemick: The tickles are worth the prickles.

    tailor STATELY: Very nice. I liked the "be-nign" with the "cancer" at the end.

    Gilliatt Gurgle: Even if Cupid misses, the arrow is not wasted.

    North Star: There is nothing like a friend-enemy to bring back memories and keep hell interesting.

    prendrelemick: I agree that the color violet is not quite what I expect a blue color to be.

    M4ngo: It is an interesting idea to equate the question with the answer.

    Thank you for the entries! They all deserve to win. For this round, the winner is Gilliatt Gurgle!

    Congratulations!

    Thanks!
    For some odd reason, I can't log in using my lap top anymore, so we'll give the I pad a try.
    Need a subject, what to do, what to do...Aku Aku?, Burnt umber? Red wine?, trucker music?

    It is February here in the States, so let's go with Frederick Douglass

    I'll monitor for a couple of weeks and see where we stand.

    A Clerihew Without Jheri Curls for Frederick Douglass

    A 19th century titan among men Frederick Douglass
    Enlightened through overcoming slavery and ignorance few could surpass
    Had all humanity's sensibilities echoed Freddy's
    Mankind would now be colonizing the Pleiades

    The way I look at it the more entries the better. Now to think of something to say about Frederick Douglas.

    Frederick Douglas

    Once a slave, he later ran
    For Vice-President.
    He showed he could and so we can
    Transform. He set a precedent.

    Wasn't quite sure what you were intending to do there Mick, did you have a poem to submit?
    All I'm seeing here in Texas is the "Oh crikey!..." line above.
    If something followed, then it must have been a casualty of telegraph cable breach.

    No, I entered twice,
    A poem and its twin,
    A senior moment,
    (Still didn't win).

    Soon I'll forget,
    My own given name,
    So I'll carry a spare,
    To keep in the game.

    Yes, two names,
    Like Frederick Douglas,
    That or a drug,
    To keep my mind fugless.

    Thanks Prendrelemick.

    Alrighty, then, let's wrap this one up and give it to tailor STATELY, you had me at the title.
    Thanks to Y/N and Mick for contributing as well.

    Mr. STATELY you're up.
