Anyone else? Or close by the twelfth?
Anyone else? Or close by the twelfth?
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...
Oh Pen sorry i havent had the chance! i'll try get one in soon!

I'm back! I'm back! I'm back! I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!
Since they haven't been judged yet may I once again take the privilege of doing so? My fast ended today so I am able to get on the compy... I've missed it truly! So, what do you say Pendragon- is it too late for me to retake the privilege?

Welcome back!
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.

wow welcome back AdoreroDio
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
Yes, welcome back Adorero Dio.Not entirely clear as to when the deadline is now, but in case it hasn't passed here's my humble effort:
The End
Scattered souls in a heap,
Lives laid open
In haphazard violence.
Upon the steps their final words
Cry out in silence.
Scattered dreams at their end,
Warm love ripped apart by
Lives laid open
On cold stone steps,
The marriage of true minds broken
At the spine.
Scattered forms in dismal piles,
Still and motionless,
Glad animal movements all gone by.
The flesh and blood of Human Anatomy
Torn and left to die
In haphazard violence.
Scattered voices in polyphony
Cry out in silence.
These who told sad tales of the deaths of kings
Meet their own death,
And beside them others cease to sing
A song of themselves with a barbaric Yawp!
Scattered souls walking by
Will you have mercy on these?
Upon the steps their final words
Appeal to you,
Appeal only to be heard.
Lift them up, and turn endings to beginnings.
Remember them
As you would be remembered
When you have joined
Scattered souls in a heap.

Retake it, mon ami, with my blessings. As I was going to judge, and have already been overlooking the poems, I shall still not submit. It ends the 12th, since you are back. God Bless.Originally Posted by AdoreroDio
