CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!!!  AMAZING WRITING, GUYS!!!

Even though I didn't sign up on the prize list, I'm going to feature the winners. Just cause I wanna.

1st -> End of Days and PerspectiveThis Armageddon is old and dusty;
Its hues of fire and ember, charcoal and ash-
Predictable.
I want an apocalypse in shades of jade and amethyst and cotton candy blue,
Radiating like soap bubbles across the horizon,
Popping and ravaging in child-like glee
Enormous toddlers running across summer lawns
Chasing vivid spherical quarry with thundering footfall
Maybe we are just ants
After all. "End of Days and Perspective" by
I just love the imagery in this and it's SO creative.  It makes me smile! Well done!!!

2nd -> no prussian blue lullabies'electric blue' has never done your eyes justice.
electricity has been tamed, with all of her secrets thrown open in the autopsy; her rebellions are short-lived despite their charred aftermath. it's all about the attention, really; she knows that her spine is chained to backbreaking circuits, her fingers to fast-fading bulbs and her words to delicate sparks. she barely protests any more, accepting her confinement and tirelessly pumping, breathing her energy into those objects that crave her life.
but your irises, boy, have never known the rein.
they are the glint of ice in the arctic, the head-on crash of poolwater with the sun. they are the sky wrestling with the earth, their azure tones blazing to shame a star and perhaps a few galaxies, if they felt the need to prove it- prove what, they're not really sure, but they're sure to find out, if their shrill colour is any indication.
no prussian blue lullabies float from under your lashes, their lapping gyrations casting spangled shadows "no prussian blue lullabies" by
It's so beautiful!  I love it!  Definitely deserves a winning place!

3rd -> Blind BlueMy emotions emerge, exposed and translucent
they sputter about, springing up, sparks and showers,
and the stories in my eyes wait for you
to see them, read them, find me... believe them.
A deep blue teardrop falls into clear waters
My insides roll free before your open eyes
spread out like a sheet, a map of my mind
But you must be blind or you choose not to see
for you plod upon it all, you trod upon me
and twists, twirls, spreads
You are oblivious, perceive nothing
I'm overlooked and I fade,
undisguised, undetected,
undiscovered, underpaid
like tiny crystal tendrils
I've been told before I am easy to read
and I've thrived by that each day,
But of course the one I want the most
cannot see me that way.
that slowly fade to
I've chosen to live in this cage and perhaps I'll never come out.
I've trapped myself with my very own flesh,
escape means my own pain, so I shout
Why won't you see?
become one body of pale liquid
I'm here, chained to you, and I've th "Blind Blue" by (that's ME!)
I'M SO EXCITED!  Can't express it!  Truly!    I put a piece of my soul into this little piece.

The flow of entries into my contest has begun to slow now.  If there's anyone you think might be interested in entering the contest, be sure to let them know about it and spread the word!   Direct them to the official news letter here ---> fav.me/n124990  THRE… MORE WEEKS LEFT UNTIL THE DEADLINE!

As for me, well, things are at the moment.  Just chillin' in life.   Since I won't be starting school this semester, I've got no real exciting things to look forward to....except the holidays, I guess.  Thanksgiving and Christmas have always been highlights in my year so we'll just look forward to that now, I guess.

Reality has sorta settled like a rock in my stomach lately.  But... what can ya do.

In the mean time, let's look at some of my recent favs, shall we?

I love this movie!
Too Tired To TitleThe television is too loud but the silence is painful.
I'm hungry but the thought of food turns my stomach.
The couch is too lumpy but the floor is too hard.
I'm lonely but I just want to be left alone.
My love for him makes my heart swell but my hate for him makes my head spin.
There's so much exploding inside me but I can't let it out.
He's not coming back but I'm still waiting for him.
My body is exhausted but my eyes just won't close.
I want to conclude this piece but I don't know how.

Her limbs were worn, and as the sun was setting she knew she was reaching her limit. Yet the young girl refused to give just yet. She wanted to practice till she couldn't move. A voice called to her. Swimming to the edge, she blinked the chemicals out of her eyes. The life guard called again, rounding up everyone still lingering in the pool. Jill sighed, her auburn hair lifelessly hanging from her head. Tomorrow, she promised herself.
The next day came and went and sadly school absorbed all her time. It was not till that Friday that she had a chance to return to the pool. Only a few days remained till the race as such she had to practice as much as she could. Swiftly shifting into her swim suit, her goal in mind, she dived right into the water, arms shredding the surface of the chemical-lined liquid as the welcoming cold soaked into her skin. Each stroke came as natural as the beating of her hear :thumb158438443:
