Challenge: The perfect ten.

[Raging Whoremoans]

the world stopped

literally


ceased turning


I came crashing down

Confused amazement
brows knit
hard stare
if so
then what?

heaven hell bliss devastation joy hearbreak lust loss

love?

vast spectrum
range of emotion
confusion reigns
love never dies

Ass-kissed

Flaunts knowledge
Abuses sarcasm

Sarcasm shudders
sending shivers,
scathing,
scalding stems
of
swamp rose

 

[Guest]

Swallowing the bile
of bitter rejection.

But it WAS good!

Kisses to soothe after the anger wears thin. Or before.

 

[Guest]

Self absorbtion
curls the yellow pages.
No one reads them.


barely dried ink
runs with fallen tears.
the words blur.


I see you -
heart leap
our eyes meet -
heart stop.

Time -
Continual. Unwavering. Delineated.
Moving. Going. Stopping.
Living. Dying.
Dead.

steely dan
grooves soft
perfection graces
our smiles

championships, dreams


Playoff Time!

Lifes little masochistic ironies
Toss blood stained rags
Aside

 

[Guest]

Birdsong
bass beat
laughter
spills like
iceberg
run off
incessantly

and Mrs Morrow is
yelling at her
man
once more.

Dandelions grace our lawn
and Hennie glares.
says
"Seeds'll blow."

Hi, new here, hope you don't mind if I try this a couple of times

her duty,
never neglected,
was always
reminding me,
I'm crazy

She absconded
left bills
sad children
becoming
what she is

I like the premise of this exercise; 10 words should say it.

 

[Raging Whoremoans]

Welcome twelveoone!

Midday arrives
She's rubbing her eyes
I'm ready
for naptime!

[The_Fool]

Too much work
Too little sleep
Time
offers
no
respite

 

[The_Fool]

Set my brain
on strobe.
Each visual
becomes a snapshot.

 

[minsue]

Silence
Echos in my ears
More deafening than a
Scream
