THE CRACKING OF A TOMBSTONE
Sometimes life can be peaceful And Sometimes it can be quite You can even hear the needle drop What is so funny? Sometimes life can be full of drama And Sometimes it can be stressful When is this pot getting hot? The bomb has exploded, As the seas collide And the tree bears its fruit The world is watching As the...

Premium Member leonard baileys tombstone
Leonard Bailey’s tombstone was cryptic “one gathered in unison of solitude” some thought they had solved the riddle was it devised by Leonard himself or his wife? It was inscrutable to most. Very few thought they understood it. No one agreed. Best tombstone in the cemetery. And the most visited....

Premium Member Leaning On a Tombstone
Leaning On a Stone I was afraid of gaining weight, so I kept on puffing my cigarettes. Filling my lungs, holding that drag as long as I could. I liked that feeling deep in my chest. When I breathed out through my nose, I looked like a smokey dragon. The long silver hair that framed my...

Premium Member Life, the Potter
A piece of clay spinning around, Molded by hands of fire and ice, Shaped into form; tied and bound By experiences through this vice. Round and round upon a spin wheel, Born into centre going fast and slow, Pieces of clay falling; the bonemeal picked up and hand built to grow. Every piece of clay on the slab, Foot pressing down on pedal...

A Jewel's Passing
So no more shall his traitors hate; For death's veils have made it late To slight any soul time has called To dine and wine in the city of gold. And his tombstone does eerily stand Above the grass on the watered land; Where passers-by might donate a tear To lament the passing of a jewel dear. And wayfaring aliens of kindlier blood May...

Premium Member Tombstone Turmoil
Alabaster you say? Or is it a tombstone slab of lime? I know my sister has decided to irritate me during this field trip. Where did it originate? Did anyone see the vandals? I have no words; knowing my sister has transmogrified. No one can shapeshift harder or faster than Cara. Now the trick is to get rid of the...

NOTE: The “in Tombstone”...
