GLITTERED DEVIL

Written by Cody Taylor Edmondson and HastyWords   To know evil Is to hunger It is ravenous And consuming An enraged horde Violently waiting Behind the gates Of a fiery hell Making itself at home Inside our hearts Waiting for us to fall For us to topple Into its growing And chaotic throng Of frenzied…

DROWNING IN DREAMS

Written by Fatima Naeem and HastyWords Her eyelashes flutter, like ruffled feathers As sunshine peeks into her dreams Searching for that one truth she longed for Looking for the innocence lost for love Reliving that first kiss again and again In the park on the most perfect spring day The sun shining beautifully bright It’s…

Autumn Joy

Originally posted on iiThinks:
Oranges and reds rustle out my window As dawn reaches in and warms my skin I lie in the sun, like leaves on the ground Bathing in the light, worries wash away Joy comes in the form of chattering geese Carrying me from summer with their song Breathing in the beauty…

DEATH CLAIMS HOME

THE MELANCHOLIC ME

I am very excited to finally have something to post with this beautiful lady.  I believe I first met Nicole Marie during a twitter conversation happening between several other very talented bloggers over a year ago.  Since then I have been lucky enough to watch her life unfold on Facebook and I think she is…

OK…so….John started this after reading something one of us wrote on twitter.  I am not sure what it was now; but it was funny….it was…really….I think.  Anyway, this poem reminds me of this picture I took being silly at a 1920’s party.  This is for everyone who gets tired of seeing me post vanity pics…
