Paradise In Autumn Patterns flicker and twist as if caught up by a tornado A tsunami of leaves tumbles from dying trees River blue, the sky watches over two who sit Absolutely oblivious to the raging of autumn around them Drifting as they lie head to toe, talking about their dreams In a trance, their words mix with the falling leaves and they all tumble down and rest on their heavy eyelids Secluded, the two fall gently asleep, Evergreen and at rest under the weeping off the trees.

Burn On Flame on my bright day, prosper and indulge as you devour the dark of the fourth season. Eat away at the edges of the cold that bites at our toes, Until it becomes nothing but warmth and drowsy heat. Shine out at the stars, which are nearly hidden by fog, And show them you are the brightest light of all, That their fire, even from millions of miles away, does not compare the glory of your wick alight with flame. Show them and burn on, Save us from the dark. #household

Ballad Re-Call Okay people, I set this for you AGES ago, and I know I said I would announce the winner on Wednesday, but I have one entry! However brilliant it is, I need more entries. Plz give it a go. Your challenge is to write a Ballad- it's a #poem/song that is often written with a structured rhyming pattern on each stanza (verse), such as ABABC. It's normally quite long and always tells a story. The theme is tragedy! Have a go, please! Tag me and put #ballad

Blood From Each Lost Man A drop of crimson blood, From each lost man, Fills to the brim, a silver cup. Take this bejewelled goblet, And place it in the glow of the moon, Let it shimmer and soak up the subtle sheen, Until, by the moon, it is blessed. Then shower the men's blood upon the still earth, And in it's drenched place, Flowers start to push up through the soil, Their delicate petals red and their heads held high. High like the heads of soldiers, As they walk towards the death, Ready to fight. #household #cup #remember
