Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
I truly am Shoutgrace's biggest Haiku fan
This for ya.

Of freedom from slavery
I am shouting grace..

Janine-I thought this was a great line.Swords sharpened gnawing sharks teeth
toni-I have to agree with you, shoutgrace's haikus are exceptional.

his amazing grace.

Hmm...and that gave me an idea! we could start a Shoutgrace fan-club!
His amazing grace
A story long never told
Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time
frozen in knightly glory
a damsel was fleeced.

Hello, Il PenserosoNice avatar, by the way..
A damsel was fleeced
She was forced into the night
She was the Fallen
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!

Hey toni, thanks. I likewise dig yours.
She was the fallen,
and he the treacherous stair
that could not support.
Thanks. Wanna trade? *joking*
That could not support
A thousand of quiet screams
The gremlins trembled
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive
— Allen Ginsberg, Howl II.
Eh, I'm good.
The gremlins trembled
their eyes glistening in view
of humorless men.
Of humorless men
There are many here today
I hope they don't stay
Pretty silly, eh?
I hope they dont stay
Mud tracked with hostess grimace
Time to poison drinks
not as silly as mine!
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Time to poison drinks
Bleeds all of the blood of life
Sucked dry of all emotion

Narcissus once drowned.
