"John, Chris, and I had talked about it, we knew what we were doing. First..."

John, Chris, and I had talked about it, we knew what we were doing. First it felt as if we had wandered in uninvited. After a few steps we knew this would either be the greatest moment of our lives, or the end to us all.

A sudden nod to Chris as he peered around the corner. Not a single disturbance. The electricity ran through me with giddy excitement. John brushed his hand through his coarse hair, "You gotta do it". A few pieces of grass and clung to his unkempt head, his legs shaking as if it were mid winter.

I eased my hand up, grasping a soft corner of our prize only to feel the sharp pain of leather on my skin.

"You dirty sons of a bitches!"

Mr. Klausman had thwarted my hand away with the swiftness of a fencer. "That pie ain't going to feed your worthless bellies, scum!"

We bolted for the fence line and ran to Hervis' Burrow as fast as the wind blew.

Has always said a lot to me

Mundayne

Wretched squealing and gnarling of last week's nails on a plated glass. Thinking the weekend would end your weakness you hear the unbound squalling of a bell hammered; the ringing of what's unknown to come. As if Harold Ramis fulfilled a role as your own personal Ba'aliel. Two more days to the hump and four more to the fall. Then you can have a mimosa with those guys or gals chained to the same insufferable fate. Not far behind the aired screams of the clock chimes. Louder it grows, closer and closer.

Help solve one of philosophy's greatest question: is an advantage over others unfair intrinsically? could there be fair advantages?
in competition, love, war, and geocery shopping, some have advantages over others. but are these advantages fair or unfair?

Advantages

Advantages are what you make of them. For most who think they have mastery over them, will be chained by them. In the words of Bob Dylan, you're gonna have to serve somebody. Spread your advantages and you will only gain more.

National Haiku Day was April 17th ... the object of course - write a Haiku!
A Haiku is usually about nature and beauty as well as all things natural -- It is three lines long and the syllables run as such 5 - 7 - 5 ... give this your best shot and be sure to tag me in the comment box as @Danceinsilence, otherwise I may end up missing a good read. I have shortened the normal deadline of 30 days to 14. There will be a Haiku Sensei Award.

Keep ur knOwse uP, plz?!?

To a fellow human. I forgive you. have a laugh.

So you want to turn up your nose?

You don’t like my prose? Ye yearn to be foes?

Please. This battle I’ll have considered done, with you defeated.

Though, no metaphors are needed to explain that you’re just that conceded!

Lyrically, one could see that you think you’re wits deserve applause and awe.

Juxtaposed to me you’re cabbage stew, while I’m Foie Gras.

It would seem you’ve started quite the conundrum.

You can’t beg; can’t plead; can’t hide; guess I’ll have to dumb it down some!

Sorry to say, they haven’t lent your name to a constellation.

Not Cygnus, Andromeda, Canis (the minor or the major); not even to the crustacean!

Don't worry, there is no need to gawk at my rhymes, so plain.

I'll provide you with the chalk white outline, for your brain.

I could continue round on this philippic carousel.

Though, i've wasted enough of my breath on you, so piss off and fare thee well!

Now

You think they'll love you, coming through the door. How much is this weighing on your soul? You miss your friends and the you of yesterday. Can a man be a man, if his memory was drank and is fine dry.

Could it be that she loved him? The trigger pitter-pattered softly as she squeezed it.
