Date Posted: 02:31:01 12/11/07 Tue . Small bare feet, traffic to a lonely cobblestone road, kissed wet by rain ~ perfect for searching puddles and catching her reflection. Non-participant, chained to fear ~ blue eyed simile of innocence, shining beneath unruly thatching Umber smudge baby, will she bare teeth? No, her lips draw closed, the curtain .

Date Posted: 22:29:01 12/14/07 Fri oh, this was difficult! but i gave it my best shot... :) their teeth hide secrets on their tongues, participants to similes that laugh behind closed curtains, like traffic on cobblestone roads they chain words and spill a muse so umber in shades of earth that they call on sky's smudges to cloud-thatch their dreams sigh them my love, and you might hear their rain, full of all those untold truths [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 11:57:16 12/20/07 Thu End of the begining by =Omardxb on deviantART In endless shading of umber- Shadow plays with no participants but me, no stage, no curtain, no love. Thirsty for words, my throat thatched with promises I've broken, dragging chains with half-hearted teeth marks, my heart smudged, sullied. I'm cobbling my excuses, the only participant, the waste, simile for my soul. " I always have such a hard time with the syllable restrictions....my submission is sub-par, but on the plus, I got to reread the oeuvre that came before me! Lovely, ladies!
