“The Crocodile Master only cries tears at night .” by Leanne Drain

Submitted to Contest #176

The streams flow against the rocks; in and out, they dry their tears, and the water comes from the beast sitting against the rubble. As Goldberg, the green silk beast, cradles his emotion through the wounds of the trees. The mood of the light darkened the air, and Goldberg felt alone. He had left home in a rush that day as his father Edgar left a mark that could not be replaced when Goldberg’s mother died, she l...

Submitted to Contest #138

I sat there listening to the open air, the sound of history repeating as I looked on into the light-filled street. Then, finally, I see the future visions, one that resembles the past.  My past was never easy. It was always rocky, but as I look on through the once darkened street, I see myself in the reflection of the road Mirror is something I do not want to know as it reminds me of my past. The nastiness of it, ...

“Definition of Hard work ” by Leanne Drain

Submitted to Contest #136

I struggle; I fall every hurdle faced with the demining errors of my past. I see it now where I want to be, how I want to be accessible away from all the mishaps of life. There is a sign outside my house in two different directions. One route leads to my warrior, my hero, my beloved grandad, where he shines the brightest of the stars.

It starts with an archway, a painted coloured arch full of light , inside the archway there is a message hidden beyond the sky. Velvet strings of ecstatic clouds fill the air. They can speak as if they are from a different time, as I walk through the archway, I see the clouds grasp the message they do not want to share it for it is hidden for a reason they say, I just think they are being cheeky and suggest they give it ...

Snuggled, in the warmth of the bed. All the way down from the brittle cold ground . His colours reflecting against the trees as he smiles down at the world looking quite smug . The fact that he was in the warm made him shiver the cold breeze out as he continued to look on through the lights of the enchanted houses that draw closer home . They too are happy as they watch with interesting smiles the magical houses b...

Scarper through the night; a single Lady is mistaken as a mysterious enemy she is worn in her dress almost like a corpse’s bride look.
