    For all of those who said that I could
    not write for s***, take that. For the
    rest of you, thanks(for not voting).
    Thank you Haunted. In the acceptance
    speech that I had preprepared, I see
    that I should say something about my
    inspiration for the piece. Perhaps I
    should let it speak for itself...piece...

    After a brief celebration,
    I will return with particulars.

    Nice win, Hack.
    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...

    There will be style points awarded for brevity, so think small.

    July 1? is it a typo

    "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.

    It does seem a little rushed, doesn't it?
    Sorry, I forgot what calender we were using.

    I guess it would be enough time to write a 5 word poem...

    does originality count?

    roses are blue

    Purple Haze

    The color of a bruise,
    your hyacinth eyes
    shades of pain and passion
    violets falling from a
    twilight sky.

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

    Red is anger, blue tranquility,
    Green is jealous, yellow a coward
    Brown is beautiful, black in darkness
    Purple is fuzzy, silver pure
    Orange a sunset, gold riches
    And white is absent

    Pendragon
    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...

    His Green Eyes



    so dear.

    dazzling.

    distant.

    dilated.



    it’s so
    definitive
    and i’m so
    in denial



    the vet said
    their eyes
    never close right
    when they
    die
