Your leg rested warm

against my leg

underneath the table

Now it’s all I can think about

StephanieMarie in Poetry & Free Verse

I’ve never known supportive women

and I’ve met a lot of girls

I‘ve never heard a compliment given

that didn’t fade and swirl

I‘ve never sat a table with true linen

the edges always unfurl

I’ve never seen a smile risen

that didn’t sickly curl

I‘ve never ever been forgiven

by this ugly, filthy world

Random topics No. 1
Have no fear, the random topics are here! But before we begin, I would like to take a serious moment. You know, every year, many car accidents occur, as people use their phones while driving. Clearly, they are in need of a robot driver, but as that has not been invented yet (or the robot just doesn't feel like driving), they should practice some self restraint. I urge participants in this challenge to avoid writing while on the road. Any participant that is caught writing while driving a vehicle of any kind will be disqualified without any chance of appeal. Be warned! As usual, do with some or all the topics as you see fit. Tag me please, and be safe. The topics are: 1) green flavored giraffes. 2) we serve broxy stew on thursdays. 3) crayons in Copenhagen. 4) un-omletting for begginers. 5) the wheels on the bus go tesseract tesseract tesseract. 6) Shai-Hulud. (Only if you read the books!!!) 7) the contents of Igor Stravinsky pockets. 8) x marks the spot. 9) veloceraptors in love. 10) don't call me Shirley. 11) suggest ideas for a new bersion of walt Disneys Fantasia. Good luck.

Love Bites

Velociraptors falling in love with Oviraptorosaurs has posed quite a problem for the species as a whole. According to substantial amounts of seconds researching these two bipedal dinosaurs, I’ve determined that they are in fact not right for each other. Amongst the plethora of unquestionable Wikipedia information I have found out that Oviraptorosaursuses may have eaten Velociraptors on more than one occasion. This Google certified scientist can’t help but question the Velociraptors thought process. Are the Oviraptorosaurs that attractive? Upon further research in the ever cited ”More Photos”, it seems not to be the case. In fact, I am inclined to be of the opposite opinion. Oviraptorosaurs seemed to be nothing but bone! Why would the Velociraptors continue to love bones that eat them? This is the hard hitting questions that no search engine could answer. However there are some promising fossil samples coming out of Idaho that could shed some light on this. Until then we will just have to get by with the idea that Velociraptors were willing to literally give up

( Oviraptorosaurs ate them) their lives for love.

A mother wakes

On another given day

She stretches and heads

Into the carpeted hallway

The bathroom light buzzes

She’s been meaning to change

That bulb for awhile

But it stays the same

Like the key on the desk

She’ll never take away

Her sister will be here

And that thought over takes

She clicks out the switch

But she really wants to stay

Between the two doors

And dislike a Monday

She doesn’t and she won’t

She sighs as she prays

The car is too cold

But she doesn’t say

Her sister‘s a sweetheart

And she needs her today

They pass the same roads

To take the weekly byway

Up the steep hilltop

Past planted bouquets

Stones strike the sky

Neat lines break away

To the middle of her heart

At rest everyday

The door slam is hollow

It echoes and plays

Again in the distance

Like the bugles that brayed

She sits on her knees

and bows down to face

The green grass and ground

Her sons simple grave

The gloves are bit big

She wears them anyway

Breaking the soil

A tear slides astray

Her sister is there

Together plugging away

Each flower is gently

Placed and arranged

Standing back she thinks

It might just be staged

Like a show she is watching

Not her child passed away

She stands with her sister

Taking breathes of midday

She kisses her hand

And blows love out his way

It’s time now to go

She’d give anything to stay

As they back out the lane

She sighs and she prays

Wishing on black rainbows

Counting the bottoms of the stars

Here comes the blast off baby

We’re heading backwards to Mars

Drowning in a sea of space

That sound of guitars

Be my hard rock baby

Let’s sing the asteroid memoirs

All Hail! (Pen to Paper 17)

He laid his pen upon the paper

he could no longer fight

the city outside was falling

it would be dust before the night

His head he left it hanging

as he scanned through the graphite

orders he’d been given

to stand down quite forthright

What could he have done different

been more noble of a knight?

the King had certainly trusted him

and felt him a man of certain might

But with so many fires burning

could he possibly ignite

a flame within him larger

could he burn as bright?

He raised his head just slightly

Listening for the right

sign or sound to lead him

towards which choice was right

Just then a cry arose

a woman in a plight

her echo shattered through him

and he saw in black and white

That no man would evade him

and by sun or the torch light

he would defend the people

his castle would stand despite

Float

Smoking weed

in the bathtub

watching the soap

in the water bleed

into fractured patterns

and bubble back

around and tease

It never becomes

any real shape

just abstract perceived

by my mind

to be art

being freed

Memorable

All the boys I’ve loved

and all the boys I’ve seen

Whether for awhile

or a bit in between

Have been left with a mark

or are pulled by gravity

Because they always end back up

With a girl who looks like me

Treatment

Here I am

Just popping in

To slice you off

A piece of skin

Bear it all

Relief my sins

Give you self

On pages thin

That’s what you want

That’s how you win

Watch my fall

With your face a grin

My mind a chaos

Filled with din

Delivered harsh

And drilled right in
