This poem, by sad hoc (brilliant name, BTW)Ten weeks lateris actually by Liar. Or MinorMonster, take your pick.
Johnnie boy treads bare footed,
ten toes squiggles wet sand for perfect skip stones
hidden just beneath the smooth grains.
He says it'll make her day to see
the flat surface sky ripple
as his messages bounce by
where she lays.
We all wait for the next chapter;
the growing up,
denoucing tooth fairies and Marvel comics
and swallowing the bitter pill
that she's not down there,
they drained the pond right away,
pulled muddy, pale limbs through the reed.
The stones skip well today,
four - five - six clear splashes,
before ending in a duck descent streak
and sinking,
to where she's not.
I'll post the next one later this evening, if I get a chance. Forgot the bonus round as well. Sheesh. Sorry I'm slow. My Tony AV is making me lightheaded. Too much Coke®, perhaps.
I'm very flattered that I could be mistaken for liar/minimon.
