IN THE END

This is my second poetic threesome.  🙂 Written by Arthur Browne, Matticus, and Hastywords The banners of sea-foam unfurled wind howled like demons unleashed the legions of waves were hurtled with a fury that slowly increased The black cliff stood with defiance against the sea’s raging assault like a rampart built by giants a wall…

INSOMNIA

Come find me at the Sisterwives today.  I wrote a duet with Matticus regarding insomnia… visit INSOMNIA for the whole post 🙂

PECULIAR

Written by JStewart413 and HastyWords   At times I can’t tell If I’m walking Upside down As I drown In seas Of evergreens My hair Rooted to the ground And my feet Lost in the clouds It’s all so Very mixed up Confusing As I watch The stars Sparkle To the beating Of my heart…
