'Preciate the wait, guess the ole clock tower is a little off. I'll be moseyin' on over to check out these rules and such.

Great stuff. You've a bit of extra time due to the nature of the challenge.

Anyone else wishing to take the challenge should feel free to post at will.

Cue The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme song

Death of a Punfighter

Standing in the middle of a dusty,
windblown street, refuse scuttled
into shady corners. Lately, misery
has been my closest friend.

That happens when you've turned
into something you can't change
or bury deep inside an outer skin.

Where do I begin
and the page leave off?
Maybe we're all just ink
inside the pen.

Great to see you, Champs, and also fantastic to see that you haven't lost your edge. Love this poem!

Love that you showed up, Tess. I don't recall if it was you or Champs that used to live in my neck of the woods, but your use of the word furbelllow reminds me of a clothing shop I used to visit frequently.

Alright...finished but still considering it...my eye and ear tend to be a little more critical about these sorts of things....Maybe I'll see if anything else comes to mind while there's still time on the clock to work it out.
