Challenge: The Perfect Ten (v2.0)

[vampiredust]

bodies exposed to air,
warmth and light

never walk
again.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

ask any firefly: holes in the lid won't matter.

 

[vampiredust]

your letters always
burn in my fingertips

period

 

[vampiredust]

i look into your eyes
and see myself

falling

 

[cherries_on_snow]

relentless imperialism
flags ready to pin:
pac-man eyes.

 

[vampiredust]

nets thin as lace
trawl empty seas

i found you

 

[cherries_on_snow]

kicked sand footprints
ran after them
all morning

 

[vampiredust]

my boats never floated
on the Serpentine

Swans destroyed them

 

[vampiredust]

my cat loved
shoeboxes

never found one
for him

 

[cherries_on_snow]

ebullient
breaking clean the surface
unstained by punch
unladeled

 

[vampiredust]

burnt olive wood
filled the air

when Grandma died

 

[vampiredust]

Things Never Change

bottled moths burn
in candle light

boys snigger, girls
weep

 

[wildsweetone]

it's white,
a tight fit, and
coming by courier
today​

 

[sugarmountain]

a river of tears will erode
even the mightiest mountain

 

[Bedtime Storyteller]

languid
June breeze kisses
bare bodies
worshipping
Sun

 

[vampiredust]

A Minotaur weeps
in his invisible maze

 

[vampiredust]

sandcastles melt
under the sun

waves trample
beaches

 

[flyguy69]

I can see her
laughing, lips
cradling each joyous
vowel.

 

[flyguy69]

it's white,
a tight fit, and
coming by courier
today​

Too tight
to write, or hasn't the courier come,
yet?

 

[vampiredust]

I died
under your words

flowers speak
for me now

 

[sugarmountain]

Cherries on snow
frigid delight
passionate polarity
red meets write

 

[cherries_on_snow]

ty sugar

amazon priestess, the man,
squeeze tight those strong thighs.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

delivery is everything
said dead pigeon
and general in unison.

 

[sugarmountain]

the experience
of coming together
froze them
in mid stroke

 

[cherries_on_snow]

Woah!

she laughed as her forehead ran red
oblivious to blood.
