Poetry

_{Featured by KneelingGlory}
The New BridgeA machine torn straight from the pages
of the War of the Worlds,
it has dug claws into the soil of old Dundrum
and hunkered down on its haunches.
St. George's Bells peel its arrival.
Spider on spider on spider,
little feet disturb hairs
on the back of my hands,
and ivy sinks first roots
into concrete - the webs we weave,
the bridges new lovers build for each other,
rigging stretches to the sky
and wind plays the cables like a harp.
It is like a beached ship, you whispered.
Before it landed here on our small planet
a sail of purest whitest energy
stretched from that thin curved mast,
I replied.
Those pillars hide the shaft of a glass elevator
and, deep in the caverns they have hollowed
beneath the streets of Dundrum,
small fat-eyed men with silver suits and laser guns
watch us as we make love on the tracks
of Dundrum Luas bridge-
stars pulsing above us,
cars pulsing below
and Mars hovering, unblinking,
an ever-watchful eye.
The New Bridge by a-random-quigle

<sub>A DD that is shamefully underfaved! Beautiful
use of personification, simile and metaphor construct
a poem that is as strong and flexible as its subject.

Sickle moonCloud cutting sickle;
The moon hung in bare branches,
November nightfall
Sickle moon by rockgem

<sub>Though this be a short piece of poetry, it still
has that lovely feeling when poetry is written well.
rockgem painted a beautiful picture of November.

Conversations With My Body by Yashaswi

_{My body is a biography...from the first
line to the last in this masterfully done visual poem,
the author challenges herself and her readers to
recognize the beauty of all bodies for what they are:
carriers of the people inside.}

Prose

_{Featured by: Kitri-du-Lac}
We ImagineWe imagine that death is permanent.
"We Imagine" by Zophirus

<sub>A difficult format to master, this piece of flash fiction
highlights the vast nature of its subject through its simplicity.
It encourages the reader to contemplate the topic,
and consider their own opinions.

The Queen's Justice by MidoriiBlue

_{The author offers a challenging philosophical situation
in this well written piece of flash fiction: Where is the line
between revenge and justice? Should a queen cross it?}
