Premium Member One Stifling Hot Day
One stifling hot day an empty sky tries to eke - out - tears, but can – not all of a sudden gray clouds gather and thicken . . . a downpour explodes As if for gladness heaven weeps. One lone frog through a puddle leaps. Small creatures take it all in stride; beneath large bushes many hide....

Premium Member Stifling a Giggle
Nonchalantly they practised skating artistically, Both are considered champions in their own right, At one point they separated, each to his own end When he suddenly fell, unbecomingly on the ice. Both are considered champions in their own right One could see the surprise on her face. When he suddenly fell unbecomingly on the ice. Hands went to her dainty mouth...

When growing a flower there’s a few things you need, Water and sunlight and room for the leaves. If you tend to your flower with warmth and with care, It will one day sit tall with assured debonair.

Stifling of My Tears
Stifling of my Tears Through the pain of the years. In the face of my darkest fears. A thousand times I wanted to cry. Afraid of allowing something as simple as drops of water to escape from my eyes.
