SehnsuchtOctober again;
and the curtains billow
with broken glass echoes and
Mendelssohn's bride waltzing
to better times
(ein

She becomes the rain,
and breaks her own heart as
the sound
drips
right through us.
Sehnsucht by *Concora

Tending our garden by *WindyWolfune
This lovely haiku paints a vivid,
emotional picture in three short

FugitiveIt's the end of the line:
twine torn thin between
rotten railway sides
and the trains
that slide
in and out of light
like my tunnel-sight:
shackled to life
(and the line)
in Noir.
Time unwinds
behind thine eyes:
A broken reel run-away
whose frames flicker
and skip

pages carved into flight
from a steam locomotive
streaming on by.

in the spiral skies,
delicately deconstructing
dreamscape deaths
in the mire:
reversing chase patterns
pulled from plans
and pursuers in blotted
black and white
-- and blood
caked upon canvas:
causality cracks
against crimson tides,

Fugitive by ^arctoa
From the suggester:
A very well written
piece that holds
the reader captive.

FrogsIt was a full moon night.
Two men sat around a campfire. One wore the armor and sword of a warrior, the other the robes of a Buddhist monk.
The warrior, a lean and scowling man stared up at the moon, almost as if mesmerized by its light. He pulled his cloak, stained but serviceable close around him against the night chill, but made no move to draw closer to the fire.
His companion had much less of the serious demeanor of the warrior, but poked the fire once, cascading sparks. Seeing how little his friend was paying attention to him, he also looked up at the moon, and broke the silence.

I Can Haz Ceasefire?"I'm not sure I fully understand the traditions of this race," said general Zhlag, "but I don't think that's normal."
"You there!" called the commander. "Human. What are you doing?"
"I just want to talk for a minute," he shouted across the blasted field. "Don't shoot!"
"I've read about this," said the general. "Isn't a white flag more traditional?" he shouted to the messenger.
"We're in the middle of a war!" the messenger replied. "Not a lot of white flags handy."
"I suppose practical matters sometimes require one to deviate from tradition, but I've never heard of somebody calling a truce with a cat on a stick."
"Well, like I said. Not
I Can Haz Ceasefire? by *DamonWakes
Funny from start to finish, this fifteen-minute
write-off is composed of dialogue only, and
full of humor in an alien and tense situation.
You'll find grand writing here.
