Poetry



Featured by RoxasWannabe

The West Coast by Drunken-Splice

This piece strikes the reader
with its impression of longing
and heartbreak. Truly a soft,
dysphoric piece.

See I, never Know I by IJustShrugged

An ambiguous poem with excellent
use of narrative and tones to create
a dynamic yet intellectual read.
Fascinating use of lexis and form.

Life Wrote Us a Bad CheckI send for you
and all your
mesh parts-
glitter spitting lips,
passion burnt hair
and small
feathered hands.
I care for you-
the little bird
nested in my nights.
The sun has
aspirated,
left me
to the Cheshire moon
that grins-
your mirror.
The silence
of bones
in handmade casts
are the X's
in letters
and the neon signs
screaming forfeit.
You are waiting
for summer-
the breeze
of your
past-life ghosts
that taps your
xylophone spine,
your loneliness.
We are two
falling apart,
apart from billions,
and into each other's
mouths.
I'm ready to breathe
sparklers into
your throat-
have us combust
into a quadrillion
pieces of star
and find our
safe place
in the sky.
You make
dancing there possible.
We are sad
as cherry blossoms
dying
and saying goodbye
seems like vertigo.

Life Wrote Us a Bad Check by schriftsteller

This poem evokes scratchy acid
bitten loneliness that desires to be filled.
The reader will be stung by the sadness
of the beautiful memories that haunt this piece.



Prose



featured by: Kitri-du-Lac
A Little Broken"Oh dear," Worry murmured, "now this is a problem."
She hovered over the heart, peering at the jagged pieces. Ever the watchful nurse, she jotted down seemingly inconsequential details with a meticulous hand. "Heart," she started with hesitation, "I'm sure you'll be fine... Unless you won't be... But you most likely will be. I think. Now, it might take a while for you to heal.. and I'm afraid it won't be the last time you break... but let's get you to the recovery unit first."
She wheeled the little pieces to the ER room, pausing to check on Sadness. She was sniffling in the corner of the waiting room, painting the wallpaper blue with her tears. "Deary," Worry began, nervously patting her on the back, "please stop crying."
"Should I bring Grief in?" the girl asked between gulps, rivers pouring down her face.
"No," Worry said hastily, patting her the shoulder. "That won't be necessary." She darted back to the ER in a flurry of motion.
Sense and Logic chose the moment to enter, bickering

A Little Broken by Venry
A pretty short story, this piece
personifies a common moment in a
different way. Well written, the plot
creates easily identifiable characters,
and through them it looks at the theme
from many different angles.

that i lazed under with
my first love.  we had buried two
1997 quarters there symbolic

only one.

What would you use a quarter
from a past love for? Hyperionic-Xmissions
says so much by saying very little -
truly beautiful.
