NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 30: Zero Chance of Escape


Without fail
The black dog
Comes around again
There is no escape
Bipolar 2 is 4 Ever

Without fail, someone tells me
To just cheer up
To just stop feeling that way
To just thank their god
That I get to live another day

Bipolar 2
Is 4 Ever
There is zero
Chance of escape

NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 29: Yet Another Raven Raves On



Raven
Black
Night
Flight
Raven
Rave on
Quoth the Raven
Why can't I have you?
Deep cuts the knife
Fight for your life
Our love was true
Flight of the raven
Raving
Rave on
Where have you gone
Why
Should I sit and wonder why
Dark is the sky
The sound of wings beating
Sorrow
Defeating
Deep in the night
Drained of all light
When the knock comes at the door
Raven at night
Cry for the light
Raven
Rave on
The last note sounds
The music box unwound
Step into the night
Run from the light
Deep cuts the knife
Fly like the raven
Into the night
Leave this world behind
Fly far from sight
To join the one I love
On night's Plutonian shore
Quoth the raven
"Rave on!"
And the music begins to play
On the other side of night

NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 28: All My X'es


During poetry challenges, X is a letter
Which I want to put in a shredder
It's difficult to find
X words to rhyme
And the problem never seems to get better

Who readily admitted defeat with today's NaPoWriMo prompt
I didn't even try


NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 27: Water


Water
Streaming down
On my back
Finally turns hot enough
To scald my skin red
But can never be hot enough
To scald away the memory
Of what was done
That lives on
Inside me
Forever

Almost
Twenty years
I don't always
Think about that night
But that night
Is never
Forgotten

Water
Streaming down
On my back
It's twenty years later
I don't dwell on it
But I never forget
It changed me
Branded me
Always

Water
Streaming down
Never hot enough
Never for long enough
To wash away
That night's
Stain

NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 26: Very Netherworld Science


 "I don't understand Dr. McCoy,"
Spock said as he his tricorder employed
"With the tricorder's fine features
Why would he want Bunsen and Beaker?
The Doctor is a strange humanoid."

~Blooming Psycho~

Note:
 I imagine that in the Star Trek universe, there isn't much need for beakers and Bunsen burners. 
 However, Dr. McCoy has an appreciation for old-fashioned things, and in the Netherworld universe, he would probably love meeting these guys.

NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 25: Unbounded Imagination, Cramped Space


Cluttered, dusty room
Old mattress, new computer
Stories come alive

NaPoWriMo 2017: Day 24: Tripping Thru The Marginalia

Tripping Thru the Marginalia
With
The Real Cie and Blooming Psycho

"Come along, Bloomy," said Cie to her friend
"Let's have some fun till we reach the Marginalia's end."

"Sounds like a plan," said Ms. Psycho. "I'm there without fail."
"I hear that these monks are into hybrid cat snails."


"I see a wizard with a familiar of an unfamiliar race."
"I can't help but notice the balls on his face."

"This little gray fox looks terribly shy."
"Well, it's a good thing he has a shell so he can hide."

"Cat snails abound in marginalia here."
"This cat snail looks tough like it has not one single fear."


"Observe ye yon snail-monks who skate the rope tight."
"While escaping from snail-goats which give one a fright."

"The howling of dogs can be heard by the sea"
"The howling of dog-men is what frightens me."

"Did you see that clever dog playing the fiddle?"
"How he got up the tree is a puzzlesome riddle."


"I see yonder a bird-snail with long, stilt-like legs."
"She must bend down far to sit on her eggs."


"I must confess that I've read not one word of this book"
"This is because of the pictures at which we must look"


"Yet another cat-snail, this one looks quite grim"
'I'd not dare touch a hair of its chinny-chin-chin."


"Look here what I see, it's a forest of words"
"I believe in this forest there's not one normal-ish bird."


"Behold yonder fine cat-snail, she is so regal"
"A queen on her throne, feared by basset and beagle."


"Look ye up close at her marvelous sneer"
"Her red antennae and whiskers give me reason to fear."


"Look here at the cat-snail with octopus cat"
"I have not before seen a thing wondrous as that."


"A strange holy chimera holds up a stave"
"Regal is he, and surely no knave."


"Feast your eyes now upon the devil-dog-snail"
"It has foregone hind feet for a most admirable tail."


"I fear I cannot make head nor tail of this beast"
"Does it want to be friends, or does it wish us for its feast?"


"A goat-headed snail quoting philosophy"
"I hear not its words, but it still interests me."


"I fear we have wandered into a private marginalia space."
"Goat-snails giving rim jobs is not to my taste."


"Now, this is more like it--a cute cherub snail."
"I shall ask it if it may tell us a tale."


"This marginal snail-man looks quite pious to me."
"Then let us peacefully let him meditate prayerfully."


"The lair of the snail-deer is no cause for worry."
"Its countenance is pleasant and its ears are so furry."


"What have we here by the marginalia tree?"
"A troubadour playing for a horse-beast I see."


"To end with the marginalia sea-cow seems right."
"It's frightfully wrought but too cute to cause fright."

And now, my friends, we have ended at last
Pray, a round of applause for our most interesting cast!

The Real Cie
and
Blooming Psycho
