Only A Lizard
#thethreewords There once was a little, tiny dragon, Born from a shimmering sky grey shell. But he was too small to be a proper dragon, And people called him a lizard, the other dragons as well.
Gone for a month. (or more)
#thethreewords There once was a little, tiny dragon, Born from a shimmering sky grey shell. But he was too small to be a proper dragon, And people called him a lizard, the other dragons as well.
#acrostic Bring-a on de pasta. De noodles and spaghetti, Ravioli, Pizzoli, and de delicious Bucatini. Always Acquacotta soup to start-a off de meal, Vermicelli is de real-a noodle deal.
#acrostic Something doesn't seem quite right, but it might just be me, Anybody else realize it, don't you see.
#acrostic Everyday I go there, chips and salsa are my life, Little do I know that it'll cause me pain and strife...
*To the tune of 'The Candy Man'* Who can tax the sunrise. Who can tax the trees. Who can lie a bunch, And then collect up all the fees. The Government... (The Government) The Government can...
#acrostic Couldn't seem to die, couldn't get to Heaven or to Hell, Over and over I was reborn again and why; I couldn't tell.
#internationaldayofawesomeness Happy International Day of Awesomeness, It's celebrated every March 10th, you see. And I believe they made it a holiday, To celebrate-ME!!!!.
I had heard of a new drug, I received it in a brown package one day, My parents warned me against it, But I listened to nothing they would say.
I think I've lost some inspiration, I guess I'm all leaked out. I'm a dried up river, no water to be found, A hoarse, raspy shout. I'm in tough days right now, I don't need anymore, Problems.
Sometimes I think, What people will say of me, When I'm long gone, When I'm just a memory. Will someone else say, That I was a mistake to the world.
What you are to me is real, whole and not fragile, Not made of glass nor yet sent to reach me out. And then, You're so perfect, a combination of, Memories, tucked into laughter.
#acrostic 1 Really, I have a confession, Everybody, I think that I've learned my lesson... Love is God, God is love, and he's not a fable, I read this in the true and Holy Bible.
Spoken- A word implicit. A promise- broken. Trust- A token dropped in a machine-- time's up. I have proven over and over, I am tougher than I seem- A fool-- but still hopeful.
Never say I love you, if it isn't really there. Never talk about feelings, if you really don't care. Never hold my hand, if you're gonna break my heart.
I try to forget you, But you just don’t go out of my mind, My eyes go wet, tears start rolling, When I think of the moments you have left behind.
Cross your t's and your heart, Be quiet and don't even start, Children should be seen, not heard, Their behavior is just absurd. Lie in bed and say your prayers, Eat your broccoli and your pears.
Please read.
#acrostic Still in the dark, gloomy valleys of despair Under a dark spell, a weight upon me, no one cares Now all I have is a melted candle of hope, glowing light Lonely spark in the cold,...
It would be five in the morning, And I would be still awake, So I'd pick up a pencil and page. And I start thinking and writing, Of just what I'd say, If we were face to face.
You always loved things that glittered But I was far from being gold. I didn't have a perfect story, But my tale you told. When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost.
1-Your presence is a present to the world. 2-You're unique and one of a kind. 3-Your life can be what you want it to be. 4-Take the days just one at a time. 5-Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Dreams keep running through my mind Reflecting memories of long ago. Made in a land of fairy tales, A place my heart longs for so.
All that glitters isn't gold, This so many times I'm told. But what is gold. What is its cost. Can it be measured If all is lost. Is it warm. Is it cold. Can it comfort you, When you grow old.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care...
The storm of fire pelts the roof of our house, searing holes in the thatching and making the wooden floor collapse under my feet.
Whatever you give away today, Or think or say or do, Will multiply ten times, And then return to you. It may not come immediately, Nor from an obvious source.
Gazing upon the moon tonight, Wishing I may, wishing I might. Are you there, seeking the same. Wanting a love and not a game. Heart's are broken so easily, Is love alive, a reality.
In English class, we're learning poems and 'all about them'.
#acrostic. Dating since last year, we've kissed a lot. I think that we're ready to tie the knot. All I can think about, is you and me. My flowing white dress is all I can see.
Many times when I am searching something or reading the comments in my 'news' space on the right, I hit the back arrow in the feed and the whole feed is black like the opening screen.
I went down to the riverbank On that warm spring day, The jade frogs were splashing And scurrying away. The frogs' suits of green, Looked like the one you wore.
I've got the type of sickness a doctor can't diagnose, The only cure can be love, and I need an overdose. I was there for you when you needed it the most, Then when I needed you, you went ghost.
Ingredients:. A gallon of love. A bottle of kisses. 1 pint of passion. A cup of happiness. A sprinkle of smiles. Hugs, just a cup. 2 candles and a table. And a bottle of 'ketchup'.
Eyes will drip, mouths will speak, Eyes will cry, hearts will sneak. Hearts will hide but eyes will peek. At first glance, the future looks bleak.
Feels like I've been holding my breath, Trying to still my restless heart. Everything hangs on my next step, Finding my nerve, playing my part.
#sundayrepost Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Through you I want to fall, Help me get out of this place, So I don't have to look at my face.
Dear Angel, How I miss you each day and night, The angel that you are, just had to take flight. Without you I'm blind, you are my light. When I think about you, I just have to write.
All of those times that make us, Realize that we have it all. Friends that love and are there for you. That pick you up when you fall. Living and dying, Laughing and crying.
They said, "Go fix your makeup, Girl, it's just a breakup." But nothing will ever be the same, I'd rather die while whispering your name.
#100things I have not yet seen an #100things Opuss with a hundred things listed on it, so I am determined to do it all in one.
O ld leather-bound books P iled up words in a box P eople of talent with letters galore U nrelenting creativity S tories and poems hidden away #stillfightingwritersblock.
Once again, you're on my mind, Your shining beauty has left me blind. I try to get your attention each day, But you pass right by me and go on your way.
When I laid there beside you, Could you feel me there. My arms were wrapped around you, And I was stroking your hair. I was talking about all the good times, For me they were every single day.
#opussweeeklychallenge #shortandsweet I love you so much, Like a rabbit loves to run. I said I love you so much, Like a rabbit loves to run. I like to wake up to you, And say you're the only one..
There's a fine line between a crush and a love, There's a barrier between below and above.
My pen has run out of ink, My pencil has broken lead, The hole for words in my head has closed up, And my whole creative side is dead.
#opussweeklychallenge I was sitting in the cafe, All alone on Valentine's Day, Wanted someone to say, "I love you" but not by this way. Just walking through the rain, When I felt a very sharp pain.
CONFINED: Do NOT read. (Well, maybe you can...) Today, Mother Goose, a shy but quite a clever bird, decided to fess up on what REALLY happened in the nursery rhyme land.
#beginningline Without thinking of the consequences, I opened the box. You stared up at me, your eyes still open, staring into never-ending space.
Lately I've been thinking, What if I had said yes. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten, Into this whole mess. What if I was never born. What if I'd chosen right.
I was waiting for my turn at cashier. I was stuck in another line too long. An old woman was turning her purse inside out, And another was humming an annoying song.

#boredsoIdecidedtowriteacrappylovestory Nothing can compare, The feeling in the air, The sparkle of the stars, The lights twinkling afar.
#flashfiction I picked up the knife, a little too fast..
#acrostic Love the way you smile. Only you can laugh that way. Various jokes that you make, Every now and then, brighten my day. Away for so long.
I don't know if I should go on with Gemini. I'm getting bored with it, and a new story is forming in my head. Maybe you guys could make up the ending and post it. This might be the last chapter.
#acrostic A poem a day keeps the doctor away. Be a poet and write what you want to say. Create pictures with letters, De more words, de better.
I was walking along, Minding my business, When out of the blue sky, I ran into a mess. You walked out of the blue, I walked right into you, I fell straight on my face, And skinned my knee too.
#acrostic M adman Ahab crazily hunted O n the enormous ocean tide. B ig white whale. You better watch out cause Y ou're in for a ride. D ying men all around. I shmael~the lone survivor of it.
She climbs up on the stool, Looks straight into the mirror. Her eyes are quickly fading, And she almost has no hair. So she climbs back down the stool, Puts it back in its little corner.
You can fall from the sky, You can fall from a tree, But I just hope, That you'd be falling for me. Let's run off somewhere, Go on a starlit date. Kiss all night, Come home late.
#acrostic challenge T here were two lovers and one did depart, H e left her for the sea and his fortune and broke her heart.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Through you I want to fall, Help me get out of this place, So I don't have to look at my face.
I've never written like this... They're just sudden words that spilled out of my brain: You Hold Me With Your Icy Stare. Can't Move. Then You Grab Me And Throw Me Out Into The Icy Cold.
Well if I come across a little bit distant, It's just because I am, Things just seem to feel a little bit different, I hope you understand.
This is NOT where I thought it was going to go... 3/4 of the first line stolen from "Fly Like an Eagle" by a band or singing or... Aha. MUSICIAN who I forget their name.
L ooking on my feed and what do I see. That E verybody is liking Lee's acrostic, so he'll probably get the hat. E verybody is reposting it too. S how off Lee. I can see it, can't you.

Well, late one night, she started to cry, And thought he ain’t coming home, She was tired of the fight and the lies, But she didn’t want to see him go.
I couldn't seem to rhyme it, so I did free-verse which I can't quite DO. I walked again into the mist Where time has no meaning And tears no end.
Two and a half hour delay, I'll get to enjoy a little more of my day. No school for two and a half hours, Able to take a decent shower. Then have an egg and some bacon, Then write and have lots of...
#gemini Do you guys think I should change their ages to 16. Comment your opinion. You'll see in this chapter why. And no it's not going to get totally lovey-dovey.
I'm somewhere between the hot and the cold Somewhere between the new and the old. Somewhere between the wrong and the right Am I darkness or am I the light.
#opussweeklychallenge Once upon a time, a long time ago, and I mean a very long time ago, in the magical land of Nahloo between the Picawawa and Latootoowa Mountains.
#acrostic #inspirational P owerful was his mind, L earning from him you would find, A mazing were his thoughts, T he ideas that he wrought. O n this earth~ like him there is nought.
Last night I went to Panda Garden, A lovely little place, For the delicious, steamy food, Made by the Chinese race.
#beginningline As the snow melted, I wept in awe, A horrible murder, I had just saw. The birds took a jab, He no longer looked new, My sister took his clothing, And his arms were ripped off too.
Again I've stayed up late, Because for my dad I'm gonna wait, Well reading some poems here and there, There's a distant ringing I hear.
So here comes the #acrostic results. This one was a serious toughie. First place and second were switching around in my head. So without further hesitation...
I gave you my heart, My golden heart, And it formed tiny cracks, From the start. You gave me a stone, A heart made of stone, Crushed my heart of gold, Left me all alone.
Good morning everyone. As you know, I'm judging the acrostic challenge and I've been searching any for #acrostic results. I only found two.
I don't know...twisted story of my friends dating experience...GOODNIGHT Y'ALL. Maybe. Ok. Enjoy the read: Took all of me, gave it to you.

Hypocrisy, Your latest form of democracy Power consumed by the elite Oligarchs on every street Consumerism everyone’s right Rip-off merchants without respite Insane policy to keep us in fear Saying...
I was starving of Opuss, For FOUR days straight, It made me go crazy in the head. Was this to be my fate.
#gemini I stumble on in the fading darkness, hoping to find some decent shelter before the last hint of light fades and the forest is plunged into darkness.
Here I am, for a while, Faking laughs, forcing smiles. I can see, in your eyes, That your love for me is just a lie. Kissed me once, kissed me twice, I admit it was pretty nice.
#acrostic M achine to control, A ll the sun and the snow, C ontrol in your own hands, H ot and cold over the lands. I t can make icicles form or melt, N ever so much power have you felt.
Every morning I lie there innocently sleeping When my peace is ruptured by a horrible beeping. My serenity ripped from me, sudden and drastic By this evil, demonic, red-eyed piece of plastic.
I never was but am always to be, I've seen great triumphs and falls, You will always be ahead of me. I am the confidence of all, You can see me in a crystal ball. Tell me, what am I.
They are glittering points, That downward thrust, And freeze your joints. Sparkling spears, cold at touch, They will never rust. What are they. #riddlechallenge All rights reserved.
You were my first real crush, Since I laid my eyes on you. I guess it's called love at first sight, And my first break-up too.
So I've been on Opuss lately, But I didn't have anything to write about. So when I was reading my feed, I saw something that made me shout.
From the top of my head: Mr. Tweedledee, And Tweedledum, Were born at the same time, From the same mum.
I wake repeatedly from a living nightmare, the world bending in unnatural ways around me.
A little poem before bed. Enjoy. :) Don't worry like Piglet, Everything will turn out right, Don't be so afraid, Enjoy every day and night. Eeyore is glum, Because he's lost his tail.
Inspired by @AubreyMo's Opuss: Angels Cry My mommy told me, When I was just a little peep, Stories of the angels, When I couldn't fall asleep.
