My Lady Ravenwaves, so prim,
So proper, buxom, svelte and slim;
You'd think her life was set so fair--
But for her dark, demonic hair!
Her jet-black tresses were full and long,
Like stubborn serpents, proud and strong,
Each twisted, tangled Gorgon curl
Vexing to madness the poor girl!
Each morning she would lose a brush--
One day she even found a thrush
Nesting in her dense dark mane;
Screamed Ravenwaves, "I'VE GONE INSANE!"
"I'll shave my head, I SWEAR I will!"
--Her mother made her take a pill;
It calmed her not--from the house she ran,
Tugging her tresses with both hands...
Distracted, Ravenwaves tripped and fell
Deep down

Beware the darksome maid, Shavaughn,
Who stalks barefoot across the lawn
From her cold dark-veinéd marble tomb
To gnaw your soul and seal your doom...
She casts her spells of madness wild,
This strange and lovely woman-child
Whose long dark tresses and pale skin
Conceal the horrors that lurk within...
Her tainted lips part in such a smile
That would make Van Helsing run a mile--
O, linger not! Beware her eyes!
In love and dread her victim dies
As her impish laugh rings through the night
In macabre, wicked, pure delight...

As the twilight draped o'er the forest of Droon,
A fat little owl who'd been sleeping since noon
Came out of his hollow tree-house of black oak;
He puffed up his feathers, and yawned as he woke
To the cool evening air and the chirp of the crickets
And the sound of plump mice down below in the thickets!
He clicked his sharp beak and let out a "TUH-WHOOO!"--
And was startled to hear behind him: "YOU-TOOO!"
The owl's head swivelled a hundred degrees round,
And to his great wonder the startled bird found
That way off in the neighboring big black oak tree
On a branch sat another fat owl just like he!
His eyes opened wide and he grippe

This is the true story of Luther Weems,
A shy and troubled man, afflicted
With paranoid schizophrenia,
He was also an artist quite gifted;
The doctors at the asylum agreed
To let him outside the grounds
And paint glorious landscapes
of the countryside around...
He wished to paint a night-scene
Called "Full Moon O'er The Valley"--
But grim Fate came for Luther Weems
As he wielded his brush that night;
A shaggy gray shape charged at him
Whilst his shrink ran off in fright!
Imagine the dread of a normal man
At the sight of a slavering werewolf:
To a man prey to hallucinations of dread
Such an encounter might strike him dead

My name is Cyril; I am,
Or was, assistant to Samson the executioner,
Master of the Guillotine
In the Place de la Concorde in Paris;
Samson has cut off the heads
Of king and queen, commoner and aristocrat--
He says they all chop the same, no blue blood,
It's all red...I can vouch for that;
I'm the lad who mops it all up
Between executions!
How I longed to pull the lever,
Bring the great blade down, hear the slicing snap
Of severed flesh and bone--I've often begged
My boss, but he always says NO...
I'd love to let the guillotine come down
On his fat neck, the pig!
One night I went down to Montmarte
And sat in a smelly tavern

She got about a block away when Something
Compelled her to re-trace her steps, go back

Cat knew she shouldn't, but up the steps she hopped
And reached out a hesitant hand to touch the antique

In no time at all Cat found herself
Standing in the middle of utter

'Twas twenty years ago, this night

The Dragon Graught was a monster foul,

And slew the brute at last!

And became a local wonder;
The village rejoiced at the dragon's death
And helped themselves to his plunder...
Every year to the day they celebrate
With feasting and with song;

And they carouse all night long!

Knowing that she would die...
86 stories down she fell,
Onto the roof of a car--
Her body preserved by sad angels
Without a visible scar...
This sad young lass was newly engaged--
Her life seemed set so fair;
Yet she chose to take the fatal plunge,
Seemingly without a care...
Her death-photo still haunts us all,
We shake our heads, ask "Why?"
No doubt she wondered why, herself
As she plummeted from on high...

By the time they were split up, both ponies were bleeding through their nostrils, and the black pony scoffed. "You took one punch and you're bleeding like that? How i lost to you i'll never know." She sneered, the only ones able to understand her were the other animals. Haymaker spat, then moved forward again, only to be cut off by the tourney rep. "Haymaker! Night! Enough!" she said before sighing. "I hope you got that out of your system, and you know what? Since you're so hasty to fight, tonight you'll all fight. As the rep for the tournament, i've been granted the ability to have you all fight to see if you're fit to continue in the event." She said with a smirk. I'll do the pairings, but for now, if any of you fight again, you'll be disquilified." She said sternly before heading off to go do representitive things. Haymaker heeded

It was a slugfest to say the least. Haymaker was putting up a poker face, but she was nearly on E. Looking at the Black pony with mean face that she was making even tuckered her out. The farmer stuck her bottle into her mouth and she drank a little before spitting into her bucket. Inside the bucket, the contents were dark red, the blood from her mouth nearly meeting the amount of water and saliva that was in there. After refilling her lungs as much as she could before it started to hurt, the bell rung and Haymaker was pushed up by her farmer before she walked to the middle. "BOX" the ref called, and the two ponies met in a flurry of jabs and hooks. Haymaker was more defensive which caused the black pony in turn to get more aggressive. With the skill of a veteran, Haymaker continued weaving and blocking unti

A crowd of people gathered around two, who were at each others throats, letting off wave after wave of insults.
"I don't see how a spineless boxer like you is even in the pros... out of my way, I don't have time for you." A rather cold voice hissed.
"Spineless?! Who is this bitch?! Someone better let her know! You've got some nerve half-pint if you think you can talk all this good shit and walk away! I mean who ARE you anyways? You're a nobody!" A loud cocky voice retorted.
"This...this is scary....that girl...that's "Neggy"! Another pointed out.
All eyes shifted to the amazoness girl, whose body and beautiful smile masked a true monster in the ring.
"But who is that with her?" "Dude! That's her! The upstart from the midwest!" "What?! That "Howling Wolf" kid?!" "Yeah. She's part of the new wave of rookies, and apparently...she's already as strong as some of the people currently in the league..."

Her uncle looked down at the girl who stripped out of her clothes, she was scary for sure. To humiliate herself for the win, was beyond normal, it was downright insane. She was an identical version to her mother, an ace fighter, a prideful tribe woman, to a T.

"I don't know if she's forgotten where she's at, but this is a boxing ring! I won't take it easy on her, no matter how many times she gets up!" Neggy resolved, stepping out to the middle with a glove held up for Anamoha to touch.
Anamoha stopped, looking at the glove, then began to giggle, hysterically even.
Neg eyed her with a disappointed look, but kept her fist out. Her eyes widened when Anamoha sla

The empty gym was dark except for the lights over the ring, and aside from their things, and the automatic bell, it was completely empty. Anamoha pounded her leather gloves together, looking at Neggy with cold Amber eyes. In vice versa, Neggy's brown eyes pierced through the uncle, and the gazes were locked, as if this fight had extreme importance. He looked at the shorter wolf and winked, then the taller Neggy who was giving him a death glare. This would be a tough fight for Ana indeed, because of the toned body Neggy possessed. Body punches would have to be a must to break that Iron core, and reaching her face would be a challenge, of course he had full confidence, but his full confidence went out the door when his eyes were stuck on Neggy's "full confidence".

"I'm sorry Uncle, it's just that getting my face smashed in isn't exactly helping me. I need more power, and quite frankly, this is just a waste of time." She leered at him before sending a hard hook into the bag, shaking it."

The tall dark skinned beauty smiled sweetly at the uncle, before shifting her gaze at Anamoha.

monstrous left crosses and right hook, knocking her head side to side, then up and down as the jabs started up

I hope it reaches to hell,

No more self harm,
No more cutting.
No more pain.
I have something to live for.
I looked back into the mood and smiled.

Sure, the woman was beautiful and all but damn it; it just didn't make any kind of sense to the young hero. Lifting his hand, Naruto removed his hat and sighed softly.

Many religious apologetics claim that without God, nihilism necessarily follows. The counterpoint has been made many times that even if the universe is meaningless or unpalatable without God, that doesn't make God any more likely to exist.

However, nobody seems to have questioned the assumption that God's existence would impart meaning.
After listening to lectures from religious believers and talking to them online, I've noticed that they tend to view their God the same way a toddler views a father figure. Daddy is infini
