I wish I had Amy's colorful mittens
If I had those colorful mittens
I could be free
And colorful
Like Amy
But I'm not colorful
I'm not free
I'm only me
And my mittens are green
But I like my mittens
And I like me
But I sure like Amy's mittens
But I can be happy with my own
My green mittens
So unfree
Amy flaunts her happy mittens
Amy is so free.
ChampionsThere are four classes of Champions. The general, the ones everyone knows about, the focused, like the Champions of Fire, Ice, or Death, they control one aspect of the world, but the control it absolutely. They are often thought of as the spear heads, pointed and as sharp as they are numerous. Then there are the so called 'Back Room' Champions, like the Champions of Sight or Knowledge. These have no power to fight, but have incredible perception. Sight can 'see' anything no matter where it is or where she is. Knowledge knows everything, but knowing the ultimate end of everything broke his mind, and he retreated into darkness never to be seenChampions6 years ago in Fantasy More Like This
The Bloody SevenTen years ago someone summoned the prince of hell. No one really knows who did it, or why. Everyone seems to blame each other. Christians blame Satanists, Muslims blame Jewish, and governments blame each other. The one thing that everyone seems to agree on, is that he has to be stopped.The Bloody Seven6 years ago in Horror More Like This
He took power swiftly, the first thing he did was summon himself twelve lieutenants, or apostles. Each of a different demon race, each as terrible as the next, together they tore a bloody path through the world. The prince was summoned in America, or at least that was where he started. He and his apostles announced themselves to the world in time square. Th

The Light of Vengeance
The sun comes out,
But it's still dark.
It shines,
But I'm still cold.
Alone in the darkness,
In the cold emptiness of my soul
There shines but one light;
The light of vengeance.
With each step,
This light grows stronger.
I bruise and bleed
But feel naught.
I pull my blade from its sheath.
A protection I never had.
It slices through the air
And through his skin.
I am surrounded by light
It envelopes me in warmth,
As does the blood that cloaks me.
The sun has come out, and I welcome its radiance.

He just kept crying,
He hid it from her--
Because it let her keep smiling.
Together through death,
The ring was more than money,
She died tonight for love.
She wanted him to join--
Not the other side of him...
... Not the other side.
One left with her;
but it was neither of the two.
Cruel endings...
They both lost
And it tore them apart.
Her dreams blessed her
With the echo
Of his voice forever
And eternally wherever.
He's left and lost
He feels its his fault
For the gun in his top lock
It's not worth living--
But he can't touch a weapon
Except his hands.
When the other side reacts:

There once was a Queen and King,
Who had everything and they wound up in a mess,
The one thing that could make them happy,
Was to have a daughter they could make princess.
They always tried to have a child,
And they wished so often and so hard,
That there wish was heard by one,
Who could make it come true of see it barred.
Finally the child did come to them,
And they quickly prepared a grand feast,
And invited everybody from the kingdom,
Except for the one they adored the least.
The one wise woman was shut out,
But still she had no reason to sit still,
She wanted revenge on the King and Queen,
And so she had a plan she needed t
Chapter I: PenanceChapter I: Penance9 years ago in Fantasy More Like This
I was dead. However, my head throbbed maliciously. This must be what penance is, I thought bitterly. Living the last few moments of my life over again, and giving me time to think of my past sins before I departed for judgement. I could almost still feel the tears of the mourning skies pattering softly on my face, my hair matted to my forehead; I could almost still hear the clear whistle of the wind through the trees high above me, as gentle as the cool evening breeze. The rest of my body lay numb and confused. Where I could feel, I only felt the trickling warmth of my life's blood, escaping back to the merciless earth from whence it came.

The young priestess sighed whistfully at the iron kettle on the fire as she absently twirled a lock of her raven hair around her finger. She tried her best to look tranquil and innocent as the two horses shifted uneasily beside her; but inside her mind was anything but still. She was cursing the Ranger who had happened to find the expensive animals and who had also decided to simply walk off in the darkening twilight to leave D'anna sitting alone with them in their excessively well-lit camp. It was a situation she had seen many times already in the few short months the two had been travelling together so she understood it well enough even tho
MockingbirdThere once was a bird who could be heardMockingbird8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Singing every morning.
But for this fate, he was too late
To sing his sad, sad story.
It happened that the neighbor man
Was a crazed and dazed old loony
He took a sling-shot and with a grin shot
The bird while it was crooning.
For that night's supper it was no other
Than the morning's feathered friend
He swallowed it down without a sound
And then he went to bed.
But soon he felt a clawing, a gnawing,
That left his ears ringing
For if it was dead, as he had said,
Why was the bird still singing?
There once was a bird who could be heard
Singing every morning
And to this day they still sa

"Akilik! Kil, wake up!"
Akilik rolled on his stomach and pulled the pillow over his head with a groan. He would've kicked his brat of a little brother out of his room if it hadn't required getting up.
"Go away, Az. Too early."
"Nuh-uh. Mom says up."
"No."
The bed shifted slightly, and then a weight landed on the small of his back, nearly knocking the air out of his lungs. Two small hands reached up and snatched the pillow he was shielding his head with.
"Up!"
"No. Get off."
The newly commandeered pillow hit the back of his head with a muffled 'thump'.
"Have you forgotten what happens today?"
Akilik actually had to think ab

First love, Only love Take me for a walk and pray for rainFirst love, Only love6 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Pray that heavens' tears soak the earth with their beauty.
Let's get caught in the rain; stuck in a moment of glistening hapiness.
Let's kiss in the rain; showered under liquid diamonds.
Our lips will part, only to leave dampened smiles upon our faces.
The stars reflected in our eyes, even though days light still shines.
I'll close my eyes when you whisper in my ear , & quiver when you smooth the dew drops from my lashes with your lips.
A memory to hold tight; to clutch to my heart forever.
When you kiss me in the rain, and we fall in love all over again.

My grandmother once told me about a place called Grim, a town she described with such detail, such daunting passion, that it chilled me down to the very core, even after my Grandmother had died. At the end of her story, as I sat in my bed huddled in blankets, my jade eyes wide with wonder and terror, a stifled laugh escaped her weak throat, "It's only a story, Cadence," she promised me as she tucked me into bed.
I trusted her with my entire heart, but I still had nightmares of skeletal animals drinking from slow-oozing rivers of grey sludge, the frightening hags, and worst of all, Crookshank, the ruler of Grim. As a child I had a

It's not as odd as it sounds. Ever since the Swift Deaths and the Great Roaring, most people sleep in odd places. Or what was once presumed to be odd. There is nothing odd anymore. To have the thick wooden door between me and what the world has become when I am most vulnerable is a great comfort, although I do not sleep well any more. In fact, sleep has never come easy to me. Or so my mother had once told me. She's dead now.
I was but a small child when the first Swift Death swept through the United Kingdom. It was reminiscent of the plague that had raged through Europe almost a thousand years before, except for the s

That's okay, I told myself. They told you they didn't know the situation you'd be in. They told you they didn't know where you'd come out. And now that you're here, what do you do...?
Tentatively I stretched out my hands to either side of me. Almost immediately they encountered a smooth, cool surface. I pressed against it and it refused to give. Hard. Tentatively I rapped a knuckle against it. It made a short knocking noise. Still hard. Not like wo
