Following the witch: another hymn to Aphrodite

Once upon a Time in Italy near the comune of Nemi while walking at a crossroads amidst mystery and melancholy of the street I heard a talking walnut tree a peculiar pulpit and wandered through its holy woods. Carefully stepping through grasses and over mossy stones I came upon a deer path. A trail I tread until nightfall when it led to a lake. The water’s surface shimmered illuminated by the night sky. A cosmic mirror speckled with stars. Overcast on sunken warships of the Emperor sleeping on the lake’s bed dreaming of a drowned cat sacrificed in the sea to summon storms. So I made my way along its shore ruminating on the reflection and arrived at ancient ruins where walls had overgrown with weeping ivy and boughs blooming with mistletoe. A sanctuary where worshipped wilderness reclaimed broken bricks as its own. And solus amidst this Dianic scene was a woman whose white skin glowed under the full moon. Reminiscent of marble memorials or statuesque sculptures of Venus. She had a red

They say you shouldn't give up something good to find better You were good, but I gave you up for what ever I miss you now I need you now I want you now I could say it again and again You were right, me and him did fight You're going back, but I won't meet you down the track not so far atleast We're in different continents even if you go back we'll still be thousands of miles apart I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I scarred you when I did because of what I did because of all I fibbed I can apologize over, over and over but I was around you long enough to know you wouldn't trust an old lover I'm sorry I made

The Battle of Sugar Point

The Battle of Sugar Point In 1898 we took a little cruise Along with Major Wilkinson upon the lovely Leech Lake We took along some handcuffs and we took along some blankets Then the Indians whipped our butts when we got to Sugar point We fired our guns and they started droppin' There was five less than there was just before We fired once more and they started jumpin' Into the waters where the nasty leeches live We watched from the shore as the thunder canoes come So many on board we never tried to count Their bayonets glinting brightly in the sun We just stayed in the trees and never said a thing We fired our guns and they started droppin' There was five less than there was just before We fired once more and they started jumpin' Into the waters where the nasty leeches live Old Bug vowed 'paleface will never take me alive' Don't fire till you can look them in the face We held off till we could see the whites in their eyes

Arli the Dragon's Beauty School Application

Dear Head of the Fairy Beauty School, My name is Arli, and I am a dragon. I am writing this application with great enthusiasm and a burning desire to become a part of your esteemed beauty school, despite being well aware that it primarily admits fairies. As a dragon, I understand that I am different from the typical candidates you receive, but I believe my unique perspective and passion for beauty can contribute to a more inclusive and diverse learning environment. Throughout history, dragons have often been portrayed as fierce and powerful creatures, feared by many. But beneath my scales and fiery breath, beats a heart that longs to explore the artistry and magic of beauty. I have spent countless hours observing fairies and other magical beings, admiring their elegance, creativity, and ability to enhance the world around them. I wish to learn from the best and hone my skills, not only for my personal growth but also to challenge the stereotypes associated with dragons. I am deeply

Vereinigte Republik Deutschland

The exploration of Germany late in 1965, when Danish and Swedish forces reached the borders with Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia, revealed a country in complete disarray. All large cities, centres of industry and every foreign military installation had been heavily bombed, to the point that several bases were assumed to have suffered 100% casualties. The pre-October War population of both the FRG and GDR had been annihilated. Estimates put the casualties at over 30 million, almost half the pre-war population of both Germanys combined. Berlin and Bonn had both been completely destroyed, unsurprisingly; however, some cities remained largely intact and had weathered the post-war horrors by effectively hunkering down, arming their police with the heaviest weapons available and rationing food and water. Kiel, surprisingly, had emerged damaged but in decent condition. It was here that the Scandinavian Union hosted the European Conference of Reconstruction with representatives from

We both hope you will enjoy our take, ideas and more on the series that means a lot to us. I want to thank everyone who has been following me for all these years from back when I was working on my side fic for Code Geass: Colourless Memories written by NSBleach00 that got me into fanfic writing in the first place. Of which serves as an inspiration for some of the plots and characters in Liar's Dice. To my aborted

Evolution of a Dress

It started with the fabric, While I still had no design, And I let the fabric sing to me; Toyed with its graceful lines. I could finally draw the basics, But the details weren't sure. No matter- I'll start sewing; Cross bridges when I'm there. I'd stand there, draped in satin, While Experience would fly To cut out pieces at my whimsy, Work with my changing mind. While straight-pins line her smile, With a french curve in her hands, She refines the sloping edges That drop from princess seams.

A normal day turned around

I sat down with my computer and iPod at the counter. Mom had gone out for the day, leaving me here to do my homework. I went to the fridge and got myself some mint ice-cream. I loved having an ice-cream parlor downstairs. "I'm glad my mom likes this job" I thought, sitting down to do homework. Thinking hard, I tried to write my essay. Suddenly, a bright light flashed and a strong wind blew, pushing my waist length black hair into my ice-cream filled mouth.A girl who was younger than me appeared. She looked around twelve and had shoulder length blonde hair that bobbed up and down like a trampoline when she walked. I dropped my ice-cream in su

December River

 They told us many do-nots in our time, but you never once listened. So on a cold December day, we ventured out into a forest of silver leaves and  black ice to have a picnic on a blanket of snow. Your mouth was a chimney, puffs of air spilling from its opening. We held unsheathed hands, both rough and dry from the cold, harsh air. The river we stopped at was roaring and rushing and raging. Here, you said, was where we'd feast. So we sat on the frozen bank of mud and dined on peanut butter sandwiches and hot chocolate. You finished long before I and neared the river, tossing stones into its depths. I watched, warned you not to g

This is the first revision of my second Monsterpiece; © Chris Hawke 2014, it will take you about one half of one hour to read through, so I hope I made it worth your while!! Everything you read here is in traditional fixed form. More revisions coming soon. Any comments, critiques greatly appreciated!! Enjoy!! Forward: Now having had a chance to step-back and re-read this it has occurred to me that this story (in many parts) would probably have been better done in prose. My tendency to rhyme everything was simply a mechanism to reach a desired end, without having done so, I do not believe that this story would have ever come about. Nonet

Hi, it's Pot. Just calling to see if Kettle is in.

I used to love your hot breath on the back of my neck. So thick I could write "I love you" in it. Now my dewdrop skin feels like a nuisance, and your body language reeks of indifference. How easily passion is replaced by lust. How convenient is the simple betrayal of one's trust? Relationship-based disintegration in exchange for instant gratification. Again, and again, and again. Until you have nothing left to bargain.
