vincible youth

He thought he was invincible.

He climbed the crumbling barn.

"You're crazy!" I cried, laughing.

His wink electrified my heart.

                His fatal fall stopped it.

Dead Ringer

Detective Barber deduced the truth.

Nathan had zodiac killer DNA.

Five witnesses saw him elsewhere.

Identical twin did the deed!

Frustration

Her laptop glowed with excitement.

Exhilaration tingled in her fingertips. 

The words fluttered before her.

She clicked the button publish. 

Yet no one liked it.

Execution in Space

The airlock door silently closed

The cruel vacuum of space

Was one closed hatch away

"This shouldn't have to happen"

Lever thrown, chamber depressurization...death!

The Real End.

We had survived the apocalypse.

We had held humanity together.

We had begun to rebuild.

But the world truly ended.

When the TP was depleted.

I am alone by myself.

The memories haunt me continuously.

Screams and torture haunt them.

Knives bloodied, blood pumping out,

bodies scattered around the ground.

The gift

Found abandoned in a basket.

Unconditional love at first sight.

Years of cherished moments shared.

Endless gratitude to the stranger,

Selflessness, and a better life.

Sheol

He didn't come home today. I waited by the window. The neighbours think I'm crazy. They don't understand true love. I'm going gray, still waiting.

English at any level

Not only a literature language. But also used for debates. And other forms of communication. Like spelling bees and news. English not just a language.
