"Take a Look Outside the Box" by Victoria Hecker

Here is a poem by member Victoria Hecker. Enjoy!

Take a Look Outside the Box (A Dull Blue Light)

 

 

A dull blue light

Consumes our eyes

Blocking our minds

Burning our vision

A life leaves in it

Lives lead in it

Crossing wills

Crossing ways

Only one fate is held

And flicker, flicker

In the dark

Here is a parody poem written by one of our members, based on the poem "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. Enjoy, but don't get any ideas!

 

Evil Overlord

by Hattie Stuart

I have pressed

the big red button

on the machine

which said ‘Evil Overlord’s Superweapon’

And which

you were probably

saving

for world domination

Forgive me

I couldn’t help myself

I want

to rule the world too

See Friday Funny Fiction #1 for how this game is played.

I was in a garden and fairies were surrounding me.
They spun around me, faster and faster. Then I was suddenly small and dainty. I was one of them.
I had become one of SANTA'S ELVES!!!
I now had unlimited access to Santa's Workshop and all the toys within.
I like the fairies better than Santa's Workshop though.
So I decided to try and collaborate with them. Santa didn't like that.
Santa didn't want the elves to collaborate with the human children. So he put everyone on the naughty list.

This is an example of a game we play every now and then. Every person has a blank piece of paper. They write down the first line of either a story or a poem, and then pass it to the next person. They then write the next line, then fold down the first line and pass it on again. The idea behind this is that everyone only sees the last line written and have to continue the story off of that.
Here are two poems we once did.

The world spun wildly beneath her feet
As she danced to melody sweet.
But her days were not so sweet as the tune,
The tune that haunted the night, swift and soon,
