AtlantisOur ships float close under sunlit skies,
hovering above Atlantis.
We claimed the ocean miles as our own,
an underwater district which we would call home.
Drown.
Suffocate with Neptune,
as heavens burst through violet haze.
Your gaze,
splits the nebula, infinite space,
and explosions in a faraway place.
And when the sun should close its eyes,
you'll sail afar.
To climb electric vines,
and lay in the arms of the storm.

Suggester: "Oceans and space were
never so sweet. In describing the
vastness in the two places we as
humans find inconceivable, this
writer has accurately demonstrated
the ability to find a home in love."

Dandelion's Lamentthe warm spring wind
gives me life
no one desires to defend;
they call me Weed,
stomping me down
to the level of Crabgrass
and Poison Oak,

with my meager
existence.

of children, who still
call me Flower.
Dandelion's Lament by *SurrealCachinnation
As children, I imagine we all enjoyed
the nursery rhyme about dandelions
and "popping" their heads off at the
end of it. Dandelion's Lament, by
*SurrealCachinnation, is a unique
take on what a dandelion would
say if weeds could talk.

The Fox BrideThe sky is a kind of periwinkle; dusky and undecided if it is lavender or blue, and the full leaves of the chestnut trees are black against the sodium backlight from the streetlamps. Ethereal is the word for them, as within the wrought iron casings are nothing more than softly glowing orange globes. They may as well be faery lanterns.
But that is my imagination running away with me again, so I bring my attention back down from the sky and the leaves and the imaginary world that lies in the space between them, back to the quiet pleasure of my company. She's done up in scarlet tonight, which is my favorite color on her, and one she so rarely w

Said the Suggester: "The characterization
in this story is very well done; it's almost
as if the characters are real people."

FrostbittenWinter is her favorite time of the year.
It's beautiful. Silver and blue dance around with one another in a waltz of freezing passion as snow and ice douse the land in a blanket of boreal glamour. Glass windowpanes become easels for falling snowflakes, frost etching into the smooth surfaces in intricate and unique patterns.
Winter has always been her favorite time of the year, and it always will be.
It is not because of Christmas--no, even though she loves the holiday, it is not what sparks her strong fondness for the star-colored blanketing across the land. Her infatuation with the snow and ice and everything cold has to do with something
Frostbitten by *PrussianPersephone
Although not a completely original idea,
"Frostbitten" presents a great snapshot
of a girl infatuated with winter, or more
specifically, a personification of winter.
