puzzle, incomplete -
the cat must have the last piece
to foil the puzzler

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Oh, blame the poor cat!
Losing pieces, make a mess -
Always the damn cat!

 

[Voboy]

Yellowjacket

Just a moment's sting.
Days of itching and swelling.
He paid with his life.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

I paid with my life
to protect the colony
and keep him away.

 

[Voboy]

I paid with my life
to protect the colony
and keep him away.

Nah, he was a solo. Little fucker.

Laughing in the surf.
The fin slices the water.
Everybody out!

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

A man eating shark:
the gruesome scene unfolded
in a restaurant.

 

[Voboy]

Breaded, grilled, or fried.
"Wiped clean by the wrath of cod."
Craving seafood, now.

 

[AlinaX]

deep in the ocean
where physical laws hold not
the meg hunts the dark

 

[AlinaX]

the arctic burns bright
as we scatter the embers
of democracy

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

There's a type of foulness
that searches for purity
just to defile it.

Power and money,
though they may seem like the ends,
are just an excuse.

 

[AlinaX]

ahh, sweet innocence...
how I long to corrupt thee
with the bloody truth

 

[Voboy]

Truth hurts, but cleanses.
Illusions get in the way.
Ignorance? Not bliss.

 

[AlinaX]

no one can know all
but refusing to unlearn
is true ignorance

 

[stickygirl]

Nihilism sucks
Negativity? Say no!
Faith, Hope, Charity

 

[stickygirl]

Wisdom much I speak
Young Luke leaves before I'm done
Do. Or do not. There ....

 

[AlinaX]

beneath the two suns
I gather thoughts like moisture
while dreaming of stars

 

[stickygirl]

Some Darkling beetles
Catch dew drops on their raised end
Arse-water drinkers

Am I lowering the tone?

 

[stickygirl]

Thoughts like butterflies
Ideas dance through synapse flowers
Netted by homework

 

[AlinaX]

caterpillar dreams
of swift blue-winged supermen
without underwear

 

[Voboy]

Regal splendor flies.
Oblivious golden grace.
King? Queen? No. Monarch.

 

[AlinaX]

little cabbage whites
an armada following
the red admiral

 

[Voboy]

Majesty above,
While down on the grass, wings flat,
The meek moth watches.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

When the moon rises
the Luna Moth flies the night:
star-lit elegance.

 

[Voboy]

A branch cracks loudly.
Rustlings all cease, clenched and tense.
Nocturnal backyard.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

The pink tinge of dawn
warms the morning horizon,
heralding the sun.
