After Craving Storm
Contest : What Happened After
Sponsor : Nette Onclaud
Date : July 20, 2025
After craving storm calmed down,
from yonder rainbow-splashed sky
descended euphoric clouds.
Enticing memory mist
draped her entranced serene face.
She then let her essence fly
in air of dream on cloud nine.

The Icy Obsession
My mouth loves ice, it's all so nice,
I'd hunt it down at any price.
I'd suck it until my gums go numb,
Chew on it, even if it breaks a tooth or two.

Craving Misbehaving
To the extreme
My heartbeat pounds
A time to be redeemed
Circle comes around
Funky fresh feeling
A little bit of jive
I'm dealing with the dealer
Pure honey from the hive
Needing you
You want me too
My heartbeat true
Lieing gets you what you need
The truth they say will set you free
Either way
You took all the honesty
And gave a gift of agony
Nevertheless
Can we

Hungry
A gnawing void, a hungry plea,
A craving deep, I cannot see.
My belly rumbles, a mournful sound,
A phantom hunger, all around.
Oh, man, can you feel this ache so deep?
This yearning hunger, I cannot sleep.
A phantom feast, a buffet's call,
My empty stomach, standing tall.
The wall before me, a tempting sight,
A grand illusion, bathed in light.
Not just any

The Craving
A hunger deep, a yearning strong,
A craving's call, where does it belong?
Is it the steak, the burger's bite,
A beefy feast, a savory light?
Or poultry's charm, a chicken's grace,
A turkey's plump, or goose's chase?
The flavors dance, a tempting plea,
But still, the hunger, wild and free.
Perhaps the sea, a briny call,
Clams, lobster, fish, to stand up tall.
Seafood's

LONGING
For so many years now
There are so many things
I've been longing for
A yearning desire
Very unquenchable
Salivating for liberation
Steadily craving for absolute freedom.
I've been aching
For unconditional love
Eagerly and restlessly
Pining and suffering
For absolute happiness
Hopefully attainable someday.
Hope realized leads
To peace internalized
I'm longing for the impossible
I want to do whatever none

The Craving
As a boy Charles fished on the Thames riverside
He had a songbird, a dog, but life took a slide
His father got him a dead-end job in a Scottish town
It became a vortex bringing him down.
He got married young, soon nine kids to feed
His job barely paid; how could he get freed?
He illustrated books, still not

Need or Want?
I just want to be loved,
I want to love someone.
I want to have that 1-in-a-million love.
To be loved unconditionally,
Two sided love.
I want to dance in the rain.
To cuddle and watch movies,
Kiss each other on the forehead.
Look at each other and know,
Know that it’s real.
Know that I’m yours.
I want to go on picnics,
And match on Halloween.
You

A conglumalate of comapnies gathered together to Unite

But the saw fit to advertise in markets where they are sucluded and often riciculded.
A straight forward Sports Genred Event.

Energy For Life
Burning,
a furnace in my chest,
a fire for life,
a relentless quest.
Craving,
the taste of truth,
the sting of the real,
a soul in motion,
a spirit unsealed.
Raging,
against the lies,
the whispers that deceive,
a warrior's heart,
a spirit that won't grieve.
Shattered,
by broken vows,
by dreams that turn to dust,
but still, I rise,
a soul I must trust.
Yearning,
for a true love,
a passion that burns bright,
an untamed
