welcome back!

Gently, the sun's rays
play on new chartreuse grasses
as birds sing their praises.

Welcome to wordtrip, hisimage. Hope you have fun and see you around

Welcome to wordtrip, raydar. pengween's right, the best place to start are the challenges. I've had a few decent works come from those. Hope you have fun here!

um, feeling a little persecuted, are we

Black black eyes, red red lips, the symbol of the fallen on my breast. That's a cigarrette balanced so lightly in my fingers; you can stop staring it's not a joint. Do you think it escapes my notice when you stare? Do you think I don't know you judge me? Tell me what you think when you see me; what ...

Thanks for the critiques Mlou. ^_^

Let me know what you think. What I originally wrote this poem, I assumed it really sucked, but after some critiquing, I realized its not as bad as I thought and just needs a little work. Tear into it! Trains I have no memories of you. Faded photos line empty walls telling stories of a time I long t...

My first real attempt at fast fiction. A little late, but I really liked this topic and wanted to submit. Let me know what you all think.

Ah, yeah. They're too cute.

Oooh, I like the first one. In fact, I'm forming one in my head as I type this. Thanks much for posting!

Hahaha, I love that part.

"Skippah, should we tell them the boat is out of gas?"
"Nah, smile and wave boys, smile and wave."

Or something along those lines.

Thanks for the welcome, jillstar and Mlou!

Hehe, gotta love the penguins! My room is full of them.
