Final Voting Complete! Gabby wins! Here is the winning poem! Gabby L. -  Cloudy Skies Paint me a rainbow, use every single color  Use the memories we’ve strung to hang it up Let your tears fall from your eyelash clouds  And let me paint a smile with all the colors  Of the rainbow on your chapped, thin lips I’ll build you a castle from the drought And we can dance in our puddles of sorrow  And bleed out every hue that ever existed  Light up the hallways with the lightning bolts  And let the thunder be the music in our home Winds like the sweet breath from your lungs  Sweeping away every word you meant to say  Paint me a rainbow, darling, and scare away  The storms that make this fragile house shake  Tell me there’s a rainbow that you’ve hung up for me I built you this place, why would you want to leave?  I blew away the clouds and held the lightning I brought back the sun for you; bring it ...

Heat of the Moment By the PoetOfSteel A rush comes over me And I start to sweat And the fact that she right there Makes me bet That I'll mess up As usual, because the loser in me Is something I can't get rid of But something that we all see So when she approaches, I burn to a crisp My throat gets dry And I lose the list Of things I want to tell her Of what I think Or how the things I want to do for her Would put me on the brink Of failure or overall embarrassment Or of sometimes I feel not present But the good news I can remember Is that it was just the Heat of the Moment I actually made this thinking about my failure to communicate with anyone of the opposite gender, but yet still become friends. I don't know how I've never been rejected yet!

The half-elf scanned the bar as he entered. The few who noticed him enter simply glanced in the direction of the travel-worn bard before returning to their stench-filled drinks or gory stories. Mark didn’t mind. He was used to such a petty welcome. It was what followed all entertainers. It was a small comfort to know that people at least appreciated them when they played.           Mark moved towards the bartender. “A couple of hours of entertainment for a bed and a warm meal,” he offered. He gave the bartender a steady gaze, and the man faltered under it.           “My deepest apologies, but we already offered the night to another of your kind,” the bartender apologized.           Mark’s eyes narrowed. Who? This is my town! “To whom?” he wondered calmly.           “A girl with hair of fire,” the bar...

Sick...yay. I've had a stomach bug recently so I'm just going to place the blog on hold until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Round 2 Voting is stuck! Oof. I expected, voting to go smooth, but it sorta got stuck in a tie. So until the tie is broken for the voting, I guess I'll just wait. Meanwhile, remember you can still vote here ! EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
