Life is just writing without an eraser.
Fly away, fly away, Up to the baby blue skies. Roam free, wander astray, But never wait for the surprise. The power of true hope, The first start of something old.
"Do you see the faucet?" Laynie asks. I think Vynn inspects the faucet, because I hear water turn on and off. On and off. On and off. "Intresting..." Vynn mumbles.
(True story) Anticipation rising, Unlike the rain from the dark sky. Goosebumps prick when a wind blows- It's 20 but your coat's inside. So in a t-shirt you stand, Waiting for the signal to run.
It's the sound of raindrops falling, That makes me want to cry. Beating away to their little tune, Water falls from our eyes. Blackness overtakes my world, I drown in misery and sorrow.
"LAYNIE. ARE YOU OKAY?" Quinn screams from the other room, using that fake voice she uses when there's visitors. "Uh- uh, yeah.
Slay the evil villian, Jack Frost, Push snowflakes back with butterflies. Reindeer troops march foward, If Santa Claus made kids cry. Now, Easter Bunny picks eggs, Grenades them at old snowmen.
Ha, stars predict my life. Oh, and tell me it's true, too. Read that I'll find my husband today, Right after I wreck my canoe. Of course I'll win the jackpot. Really, who ever loses.
Armed and dangerous, There is nothing you could Fear more than love. I'd misunderstood What his intentions were, Me, to get rid of. It hadn't occured That he wasn't The One, My vision was gone.
We run in silence for a while. Maicy keeps glancing behind us for some reason- it's not like Gabby's going to pop out from a trash can with a lightsaber and slice our heads off.
"What?" Gabby asks, breathless. She charges to Maicy and I and tackles us. The slip of paper drifts out of my hand as I hit the floor. Maicy lands hard next to me, moaning in pain.
Mystical and graceful, Yet so strong, so powerful. Sneaky whims, haunting spells, Together, questions will dwell. Eerie sights creep in your eyes, Rebellious master of disguise.
#weeklyopusschallenge His purple face gasps for air, The evil rope won't let him. Choking, he struggles but fails, The man's fate looks deathly grim.
#weeklyopusschallenge Watch the colors burst in flame, Sending sparks throughout the sky. Booms echoing in your ears, Here, debris can really fly.
#natureacrostic #sunlight Supernova, you're my hero, Uplifting me from a zero. Never fails to get me through, Letting me go- there, I flew.
Holding tight, not ready, Over the rail is far. Little ground, unsteady, Falling towards the tar. Weightlessness, sinking down, Never going to stop. In my mind, I will drown, 'Fore I spill a drop.
I look down at my plate. Meatloaf. Actually, I'm not sure what it is. A brown chunk of something gooey and rock hard at the same time is what it is.
A chilly breeze whips bare trees, Traces in the pure white ground. Some cold nips at hidden skin, And loneliness is abound. No birds out to chirp and sing, Fish are trapped under ice sheets.
Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't updated this story in a while... I keep forgetting. I'll try to get the next chapter out quicker. Enjoy... I finish dusting the oak coffee table for the 100th time today.
I don't know where I found it, I have had it forever. Look at the way it is lit, Who made this thing. So clever... Light beams bouncing off it's face, Sparkles gleaming, sitting there.
Please don't go, It's not good. Even though, They say you should. Just Go Run, You Won't Fall. It's Not Fun, With Those "All"s. Told You So, Yet You Cry. Your Life Goes To The Sky..
Field of flowers, hope so bright, Just the one I need. Set me free, launch my flight, Plant my new grown seed. Round I wander, picking stems, Grow my mind just right.
Alone, in the darkness, And there's nowhere to hide. Can't tell if I'm conscious, I think I'm out of pride. Empty is my vision, Hiding forever, black. I need a decision, Wait... What's behind my back.
Water roars over soaking rocks, Falling faster towards the bottom. Sunlight tints it along the way, With leaves floating, for it's autumn. Aqua slices as it heads down, Also slides over all it can.
You can walk a mile in your shoes, But what if you had to choose. Maybe they are someone sleazy's, Then, would it still be easy.
It was love at first sight, My heart melted under yours, Yet we would soon be in a war. But back then, you held me tight, Said you'd never let me go.
Everyone is dead silent as we drive down abandoned allies. Gabby pokes my shoulder. "Hello. Hello Kiela." This girl is a freak. "Hi." I snap, then turn to Maicy.
You fold up the note so tightly, Thinking it'll never reach me. Sneakilly, a dove comes along, Snatches it- then flies on a spree. You turn around, realize it's gone, Hoping that it won't come my way.
"Zay. No!" I screech. Zay doesn't react. What's wrong with him. "Zay!" The man holding my stick glares at me, then slaps me. Ow. What was that for.
Close your small beady eyes, Let go for a while. Think of your favorite place, Invite a sweet smile. Lose yourself in this place, Don't let your mind wander. Picture everything, Further; beyond...
I stand in a corner Waiting there all alone. Everyone else is having fun, Here I am, on my own. Loud, current music blares, I don't know any songs.
Hold my hand, take my trust, Follow me, here in lust. Fly with me, up above, With the stars, that I love. Pick your star, here is mine, Together, we're align.
#beginningline #nightdwellers The door closed with a creak And clicked shut behind me. Leaving me with nothing, Just like an absentee. I'm locked in this black box, Lonely, stuck forever.
Sorry, another short chapter. Me, Laynie, and Tayla spend the day chatting about random stuff like we usually do. I try to keep my gaze away from the empty bag sitting at the edge of my cot.
I lay down on the grassy hill Gaze up at the sky, hypnotized. Wisps and fluff meander on by, I wonder how they're formed, mezmerized... They swirl and play in the sky, Forever changing, unique shapes.
A blank sheet of paper stares at me. It bores holes into my poor soul. I pick up an ink pen and kill it, Scribbling furiously, out of control.
Imagine a reserved savanna. The beauty of it all. A little community in nowhere, For animals, big or small. Think of a herd of gray elephants, Nudging each other along.
The tree is bare, cold and lonely, Shivering, waiting for something. The one dark spot on all the lawn Is this tree, soon to be gone.
The sound of tidal waves breaking Echoes along the empty beach. I wiggle my toes in the cold sand As to the sky, seagulls reach. I draw a face in the sand And a wave comes along and ruins it.
#communitystory "You see that?" A finger pointed to a fat little penguin happily nipping at another penguin's flipper. "They're fighting!" the little girl cried. "No, they're playing.
Thick fog rolls in Blanketing everything in sight. It's like a wall Stopping me from seeing right. It is not white. No, it's spots our vision can't reach. It's a restraint. I'm blind.
I stare at the twinkles above Following the dots to you. Question wanders in my mind, Are you gazing at these, too. My eyes dart and find Pegasus, You probably found Big Dipper.
Sidewalks talk to me, They ask why they're littered (they're stressed). "Why do people throw trash on me?" I reply that it's the squirrel's mess. Squirrels chat with me, They ask why we cut down...
Indigo sky starts to fade. The black grass turns to light jade. Pink wisps start to form As the world transforms. Little birdies start to peep Sneaky owls fall asleep.
"What?" Laynie stands up so quickly that her chair wobbles. "WHAT?!" "Um...Laine, we're adopting Kiela." Tawn says, almost uncertanly. "It's Laynie!. And why are you adopting Kiela?.
100. I'm so old. So many tales I've told... It all started with a story. But I've grown my inventory. Poems, quotes, blogs, too- As you can see, I've really come through.
It all starts with one, tiny letter. It's simple- It really is. Just a couple lines on some papers Is what started this whole biz. Put some letters next to each other, Now you have a word- who knew.
Stay strong. Don't look back. That was the past, And now is not black. Small steps You should take. Pretty soon, You'll forget your mistakes. Focus on now, Or nothing at all.
It starts to get dark out And my phone's beeping mad. 'Winter Weather Advisory' I'm anything but glad. Last minute run to the store, Buying everything I need.
Liquid ice falls from the sky Pounding the windows below. Powdered fluff covers some spots On a naked leaved willow. Shining raindrops leave some holes In the freshly fallen snow.
The haiku riddle challenge is now over. I had four entries- good enough. Thank you to all that entered for helping keep the #riddlechallenge alive.
Not as long as the first chapter. Enjoy... Quinn rearanges her face into a forced smile. "Hello, girls. Say hi to Mr. and Mrs. Pillet." Tayla chokes out a weak "Hi." Laynie nods sharply.
Pep rallies... Where to begin. I knew it was trouble When I first walked in. Pop music was playing. Teachers dancing, too. Seriously. I wasn't even next to you.
Okay, I won the last #riddlechallenge because I was the ONLY ONE WHO ENTERED!!. That was the second #riddlechallenge. Shouldn't there be more entries. This #riddlechallenge will be easy- make a haiku.
What just happened. I have no clue. Where did you go. I thought I knew. What should I do. No one told me. What will happen. I can't forsee. Will it get better. It's sure not bliss. Snap out of it.
You start as a green stud. But grow, change is on it's way. You're outgoing with a bud, No, you won't be a bouquet. Purple majesty Delightful aroma Soft, silky petals, Yet you're in a coma.
Step up to the crowd Don't be shy now, you'll succeed. Step up to the people Who won't let you proceed. Step up to the critics That start rumours about you.
Rrrinng. Rrrinng. Rrrinng. I roll over and smack my old-fashioned alarm clock, then roll over again and close my eyes. Ahh... That's better. "Kiela.... Kiela. Wake up!" A voice screams. I flip over.
S oaring paper airplanes T here's no need for a brain U nder tables I see kids D ying, I think, wait, no, a bid. Y ou ask why I hate it. It's insane.
I knew something was wrong, Before I saw the tears. Your face was all crooked, But not beyond repair. I didn't have to ask, To know what had happened. Your boyfriend was a jerk, Now you feel...
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -Martin Luther King, Jr..
#riddlechallenge #pantoum If you feed me, I'll feed you back, Feed me a lot, I'll give you a sack. I love colors of the rainbow, And somehow, I smell like a meadow.
Can't you see what I'm saying. You know what you are thinking, And want to prove that it's right. But are you really that bright. I'm trying to tell you here, All you're believing are mishears.
Reflective pond, Glittering in sunlight. Here ice shimmers Even when it's night. I stare at it, It mirrors every move. Can't it leave me. No matter what I do.
It's finally time for the #riddlechallenge results. I've had so many wonderful riddles entered, and it's been hard to choose the top 3. So, in third place is @Klaire with 'Tell Me'. Great piece.
Trees sway in the breeze Leaves fall onto brown grass I shiver and hug myself, I glance at my watch out of glass. Only 2 minutes, Until he arrives here.
#acrostic #dreaming D ear Myself, R ead this so you can understand what I want. E verlasting kindness for all. A ll to be happy. M inds to stop thinking about killing. I t's not the end of the world.
You pick a bundle of daisies, Make a chain of them, if you will. Send them flying into the sky, Or place them upon a small hill. I reccommend the daisy chain. Each flower has a meaning there.
The wind Screaming my name, Whipping at the walls, Shaking the window frame. It picks up speed, Howling in the night. There is a strong gust, What a terrible fright. It yells, Calling to me.
When I. First. Saw you. I. Needed. To be. Nursed. You. Took me. Under. Your. Wing. So. It. Could stop. The. Sting. You helped. Me with. Tough. Times. We did. Everything. Together. All the. Stuff.
It fell. It came crashing down. Smashing with a hard crack, Now I have more than just a frown. It fell. You left, not caring, Not thinking what happens To broken, shattered pieces, not sparing.
Okay, Opussians, I am thinking that I should start a riddle challenge. I just choose the hardest riddle, then the winner chooses the hardest riddle, and so on. Sounds easy, right. Wrong.
My eyes bug out. Tessa screams. Kat drops her chicken MacNuggy. I gasp for breath. "Hey. What do you think your doing?" a cashier yells. I want to turn around to see this man (or woman) but I can't.
I hibernate all winter, But I don't give you splinters. Everyone loves me, I'm sure you'll agree. I come in every color, You can buy me for dollars. I am born in spring, Creatures love me, and things.
Snow sparkles outside my window. Ice gleams in the bright sunshine Crystalized trees glimmer It will go away, sometime. For now, the snowmen wave at me. Sleds make patterns in white fluff.
"B eware, there's a new girl in town. E veryone used to hate her. G et ready to run, she might turn back I nto who she was. N ever trust her..." "N o, don't run. I t's not too late for her to change.
Sun rays peek from fluffy clouds Sending you in misery. You wallow in your own shame Because light wins it's victory. You shrink down into the grass Dying, crying, you're over.
#opussweeklychallenge Flying. Soaring. To my destiny. Stopping. Halting. There's bad times. Falling. Speeding. To the deadly ground. Catching. Landing. Safely in your arms. Gliding. Riding.
You pass... Time passes... I'm passing... #flashfiction.
Spelling bees are quite tricky. It has to be just perfect. Miss one letter and your out, Take your time... think... and... correct.
Thank you to @Nom for picking me as the winner of the auburn #colourchallenge, even though I was the only one who entered... I've decided that the next color will be periwinkle.
I wake up the next day and find that I'm on the floor. I sit up and crack my back. It's really stiff. I hear a noise from my bed. I look up and see Kat sprawled on just about every inch of the bed.
#colourchallenge #auburn We run up the hills Tripping and falling. A pesky brown root Sends my friend sprawling. We push thorns away, And overgrowth, too. It's annoying; we Can't get to our view.
I step out the door Escaping the hot, noisy gym. I shrug my coat on, And that is just when I see him. He's laughing with friends, Eyes twinkling like stars above.
The dreaded day has come... It's school's "Find-a-club" day. I'm required to join... But I have a delay. The clubs are all stupid. Like the mitten-sewing one.
#acrostic C an't you see that these are chaotiC . H ate these things, they're always over in a flasH. A rgh. No moments when I yell "AhA!" L eave me alone. I'm trying to defeat this eviL.
#colourchallenge #ebony I shuffle through the library Staring at every title. The dim light casts a warm glow On books like classics and bibles.
A woman is pulling Kat away from Tessa and Keleb in the middle of Wellington. "Stop!" Tessa screams as a man comes up and ties her arms together.
Gray skies and slush Melting snowmen Decorations down It's time again. Winter is here. Not Christmastime- Nothing is pretty. I dream of limes. Limes and sunshine, Coconuts too.
A smile. Who does anymore. Well, they should, Cause it's good for the core. It brings light, To those who can't see it, It brings hope, To those who don't have it. Smiling Helps all those who are...
He shoots, he scores. The crowd roars. But they don't know what happened, He doesn't even know himself.
#opussweeklychallenge My shuffle came up with 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. The opening line is 'I threw a wish in a well'.
My desk, Lonely, No papers. My pencil, Refusing, To write. My head, Empty, No ideas. My window, Outside, I see. My paper, Sudently, Is full..
Open your eyes They don't seem ready Cause you always lie And never see the light. Open your ears To hear the truth Everyone of your peers Agree- listen to them.
It sparkles in the sky Shining down from up so high. It reassures me that I'm not alone Because before, I hadn't known. The star stays still, silent I know that it's not violent.
"Summer?" I stand up. No way. "Autumn. Finally!" Summer gets up and hugs me. Why has Summer been hugging me a lot lately. Summer pulls back.
You rise, rise, rise up, Like a puff of smoke. A saffron fire Wrapping me like a cloak. You are ignorant Leaving me below. I'm suffocating, You continue to grow. I yell out to you Listen to my plea.
"Amber. Wake up!" Theresa shakes me awake. "Whaaaaat?" I say sleepilly. "There's people sneaking around outside. I think they're robbers." This gets me awake. Eldonist found me. "Hide me.
The moon comes up and I sit there, on the ground, holding my mom's own diary. Is my mom even alive. I hope so. I look upwards at the stars. There's the Big Dipper- and the North Star.
I tryed, even when you laughed- It's not my fault you had to be so daft. I cared, even when you scoffed- It's not my fault that you were just so lost.
We were twins Stuck like glue Forever Side by side Peas in pods Together Laughing then Smiling then Sleepovers What has changed.
