Poem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We prepare our tools
the best that we can-
from heart to head
and head to hand
We enter the fray
running
bare feet on sand
internal clock burns
at this cunning plan
The language unravels
with talents profound
the act of creation-
a game
of Jackels and Hounds
Hiding
and striking
lunging
retreat-
a game well played
marks this cycle complete.

Just being king doesn't mean getting your way all the time..

"there's more?"
"ha ha ha Simba.."
"Everything you see exsisits in a balance, As king you need to understand that balance. From the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."
"but don't we eat the antelope?."
"Yes Simba but let me explain, when we die our bodies become the grass and the antelope eat the grass.. so we are all connected in the great circle of life."
Gee I can still remeber that film, almost word for word.
Thanks for the poem Snipe, go the whole life thing!

You inspired me Snipe.
I run and jump
I take the plunge
Bubbles are thrusted up against my cheeks
But they bring satisfaction, not fear
Down deeper I continue through the glassy world
That blurs my eyes and softens my ears
A world to which I certainly don’t belong
And yet I’m strangely drawn to
I scrabble for grip to pull myself along
As my lungs burn for breath
No more
I can’t go any furthur
I stop scrabbling and let my lungs help
They take me up to the exit swiftely
I break the door, shattering it to thousands of pieces
Glass falls around me
Lungs pump contendedly
And threaten my wanted return with pants and gasps
But my heart yerns again
I suck in tinted air and take the plunge once more.
It's me second attempt at non rhyming.. I don't really care if it's not poetic but turning this feeling into a story wouldn't have "suited" either.

Er yes that's right
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*feels a swift kick to the back on her knee caps making her knee..looks as Snipe is by her side kneeling too*
How could we ever compete with your poetic poeticness.. Snipe's quite right we mearly accompany your poems like the background singers in that um.. er.. song.. yeah.
Thanx for compliments all!

And shudder in the shuddering-worthy power that is the powerful ME! FIREBANE!!! Well fine- if we're whippin' out the good poetry on me, be warned how low I'm going on the riddles :: points a talon first at Leafy and then Snipe:: and you two are responsible for starting it.
