If you drop me I'll crack, but if you smile, I'll smile back - what am I?

A mirror!

Prudence, please!

February? :)

BEAUTIFUL job!!!

Thanks, Xandra! Thanks, Booknut! Glad you both like it:)

So what with Fairest coming out yesterday, I've been in a Lunar Chronicles mood, even though I don't have Fairest as of yet:( Anyways, I decided to go with a short Levana-inspired poem for the theme "reflection(s)" Meaning(read after reading poem): (view spoiler)[Aside from the obvious, that she wears her glamour to appear perfect, even though it's not doing her any good...in the last two lines, I was trying to go for that each person, when they look in the mirror, is asking a question that they wish the mirror would answer, such as who they are, for our image is so tied in with our perception of who we are. And Levana's mirror lies to her, through the reflection of her glamour that she sees, hiding her true self. So I'll let you decide if I accomplished that:) (hide spoiler)]

You tried to create perfection
For every flaw a new correction
But a mask to hide your face
Is a sin to bring forth grace
We all ask our mirror a question
And yours lied with your reflection

Thick and real
Darkness surrounds me
Wanting to feel
I stretch out my hand

I feel blind
In this unnatural prison
I search trying to find
A way towards the light

Beautiful poem, Tia!

Urrgh, we missed Jane Austen's birthday!

Theme for December?

I wrote this really quick, because I realized I hadn't entered this month. Hope you like it!

These feathered hopes won't last for very long
And I remember warning you
That soon I too would be gone

But you didn't believe that I believed
That that could really be true
If only you knew that I never lied to you

So I'll give you one desperate kiss
As we watch them fly away
Tugging out the words I never thought I'd say

These winter winds will someday leave
Bringing back the summer days
The feathered hopes and even me

Xandra ~read me like a book … the pages all are torn and frayed~ wrote: "My attempt at Feathers. (A poem based vaguely on the story of Icarus.)

Don't fly so high, my darling
Your wings are not meant to last
Come back to me, my love
Leave all this in the past

I like it:)

Many thanks, Booknut! And congratulations to Poppy! :) A Thousand Pieces of You, please. Such cool themes for this month - can't wait to start writing!

They carry lights in their hands,
Hatred in their eyes,
Threats in their mouths,
And our death in their minds.

This is how our world ends,
Shouts herald our ends,
Fists pound on our door,..."

Wow. Beautiful job!

Theme for November? <3

Thanks! :)

A haiku for Perfidy:

This knife in my back
You knew what you were doing
Why don't you twist it

Thanks, Booknut! The Art of Lainey, please:)
Love the new themes!!

Run, people run
Before you come undone
Run people, do run
Don't you see those guns?
Once the bullet touch your heart
Your whole world will fall apart
We see them chasing

Beautiful poem! I'll definitely be praying for those in Hong Kong and spreading the news about the situation there.

Clashing swords
Falling skies
He's always been the reason why

Be strong, stand tall
Don't let them see you fall
Fight back

Fantastic poem!!

For Triskaidekaphobia:

One and Twelve
Do you hear hearts beating?
Two and Eleven
Do you see shadows lengthing?
Three and Ten
Do you hear lovers fighting?
Four and Nine
Do you see eyes emptying?
Five and Eight
Do you hear voices whispering?
Six and Seven
Do you see arms opening?
Seven and Six
Do you hear wolves howling?
Eight and Five
Do you see fangs dripping?
Nine and Four
Do you hear children screaming?
Ten and Three
Do you see us dying?
Eleven and Two
Do you hear them laughing?
Twelve and One
Did you see them coming?
Thirteen


(view spoiler)[ Gonna be honest, I'm not entirely pleased with how this turned out. I had a different outcome in mind. Oh, well. I'm heading out of town and wanted to get something in before the deadline. (hide spoiler)]
