A Rolling Stone contest poem
A Rolling Stone She’s weird as a broom stick, that witchy woman That crazy, shonky, HONKY TONK WOMAN On Monday she’s ANGIE, RUBY TUESDAY Wednesday and Fridays it’s Glorious Rose. What’s in a name?

Premium Member Fulcrum of a rose Sixth Premier Contest Winner
If we can only smell the soul, will it then smell like the rose? in gentle aroma of passing breeze, in morning fresh dew-swept air? can we at birth of a little one, breathe-in essence of his deeper self, past the innocence of his smile, can we see a universe entire? do roses then live a spiritual life, and speak with god with...

With an unfamiliar phrase, she reassured me. the fact that clouds are always passing, Additionally, the burden we are currently bearing No difference will be made as the night becomes glassy. We sat there with our legs crossed on the old grass, Using silence as a form of communication. The world slowed down, the atmosphere was pleasant, A little cool and a...
