Yuletide Writing Comp. '20
Violence Seth
The Competition now is closed!
We have our winner!
The Grand Prize of 200,000cc goes to *drum roll*
Once by Rican
I loved you once
When we drank and smoked, coffee and cigarettes
and you talked to me … Gypsy Romanian.
You would leave work at five o’clock
and rush to meet me at five o’ three.
I loved you at once
and knew you would be mine
from the first moment of the new year
When we rolled together in someone else’s
entry hall… dotted rug.
I once loved you
Then I looked out above the streets
holding your waist and promised you the city.
I would have given it to you, if I could.
I wanted you to have it.
Once when I loved you
We mostly laughed.
I cried at movies, touching your heart.
You laughed at how involved I got
grabbing at your arm.
I loved your family
mostly. For I needed to belong and they made a place for me. And
we shared Christmas wafers while generations
accusingly sang in my ears.
They loved me too, mostly. Mostly they loved you happy, once
when you were happy.
You loved me once
your eyes were joyous, your mocking faint and
you knew my fears and loved me anyway.
I made you happy then, once.
Then we were locked, your ankles weightless on my shoulders.
I loved you once,
Once when I loved you.
Honourable Mentions:
Carlos3652's Sky Hero
Whose Sky Hero is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite happy though.
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,
I watch him laugh. I cry hello.
He gives his Sky Hero a shake,
And laughs until her belly aches.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.
The Sky Hero is Shiny, Hard to Get and deep,
But he has promises to keep,
After cake and lots of sleep.
Sweet dreams come to him cheap.
Georgelakeland's Jingle Bells
Trashing days that go,
in homes and not it snow,
over the top we go,
sighing all the way,
Bells that never ring,
making spirits low,
what fun it not, to stay at home
on a chair with just a grin. ohhhh
{Jingle Bells, with out bells,
jingle with no way,
oh not fun without a ride,
covid go away, hay.} (twice)

Infiltrator Beta's
The Shipwreck / El Naufragio

Comments
pertamaxxx
I'll never know what that means 🙁
Pertamax is a familiar word on Indonesian blogosphere since bloggers use this word when competing to make the first comment at a great post or article in some blog (usually at celebs blog with so many comments). Come from word "pertama" (indonesian language mean "the first") embed with "x" in the end. So, the first commenter to the post will answer with this word.
We learn new words eHere each day 😉

DIO,
I WILL BECOME YOUR FOLLOWER
I WILL BECOME YOUR PROPHET
I WILL BE A BELIEVER
ONLY IF YOU GUIDE MY SWORD TO THE THROATS OF THE HERETICS
THEY SAY YOUR NAME WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS
THEY QUOTE YOUR WORDS WITH LYING LIPS & TONGUES
THEY ARE WICKED, THEY ARE EVIL
GATHER THEM IN THE DESERT
LET THE SUN BURN THEIR SKIN
I WILL SLASH THEM WITH MY SWORD
I WILL SPILL THEIR BLOOD ON HOLY SAND
I WILL SHOW NO MERCY
I WILL TAKE THEIR LIVES
I WILL ANNIHILATE THEIR SOULS
UNTIL NOTHING OF THEM IS LEFT.
UNTIL THEIR SEED IS ERADICATED
FOR ALL ETERNITY.

which none should create.

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
i surrender to robert frost
Competition closes at 10:00 eRep time

A little holiday joy from Plato,
Christmas time has gone
But the fight button lives on
Buy your packs today!

Congratulations Rican!
