    the three belles


    today’s the day:
    April’s bridal shower

    but May’s jealous tears
    rained out the wedding

    if only she knew...

    June blossoms
    like a thorny red rose
    beautiful and dangerous
    the groom is intrigued...

    oh drama before
    summer solstice

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Tick tock , time is running out so get your entry in today!
    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...

    Spring

    The tight wound
    coil of green
    Spring
    Unfurls its fiddlehead
    and spills a shower
    of scented gems

    thanks Mary!
    no, not a sign at all. There's a girl at work called April and I have a friend called May. I guess you can say that they kinda inspired this.

    If I win.
    And that is why
    I've already won.

    Nice poem Haunted!

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

    ok guys, sorry for the delay. First off I want to thank Pendragon for seeing merit in my little poem among other wonderful entries...oh, and hiring 3 violinists for the announcement, Pen, that must have cost a fortune!

    Once again, thanks everyone for the kind words, really really really appreciated it.

    here's the next round...

    subject: towel (I know, it's weird but humor me )
    deadline: 6/22

    have fun!

    Terry

    Just a towel
    that is all I'll need

    To cover me in the cold
    or to wipe my wounds
    when I bleed

    Soft terry cloth fabric
    it is soothing to the touch
    the edges are frayed, I fear
    but useful when I begin to tear

    Such security that it has brought
    the worn fabric wrapped around
    up against my face it is placed
    the baby blue friend of mine
    despite the laughs that abound

    Just a towel
    that is all I'll need
    Les Miserables,
    Volume 1, Fifth Book, Chapter 3
    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
