    Avatar Poem

    ....not the movie but a poem that tells something about the avatar you have chosen for litnet. I'm working on mine so go ahead and post yours when you are ready. Thanks!!

    Sweet Muse

    She looks with her faraway eyes
    far beyond the skies
    into worlds untouched by mere mortals,
    hiding behind mysteries veil,
    painted in strokes of midnight
    her divine beauty
    a gift from the evasive moonlight
    illuminated the quaking dark soul
    she harbors inside
    with secretive smiles
    and no apologies
    she transcends
    above our reality,
    to those worlds of her own,
    but listen closely to the wind
    and you may here
    the voice whisper
    temptations in your ear.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Some fool with messy, mad hair,
    Was enjoying the light, café air,
    When he unaccountably got
    In a weird, blurry shot,
    And the cameraman cried in despair.

    Not bad for something off the top of my head...
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    Nice!

    I see you share my tendency to write limmericks

    A girl inside herself, happy there,
    forced on stage with color hair,
    her camouflage not working.

    A mum with so many words to say
    her own became sealed away
    to speak aloud was hurting.

    Hidden behind her curtain of red,
    so many thoughts filling her head,
    but there she is, still lurking.

    Good, cacian, I look forward to it. It took me long enough to post on my own game.

    step up to the light
    watch the sky turns bright
    and you be highest far
    amongst moons and stars

    As I doze on the hammock in fall,
    There are seagulls above me who call,
    But there's nothing to do
    Except dream about you
    While the sunlight makes space for us all.
