    Exclamation

    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...

    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.

    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.
