Poetry Submissions
1.) [
Mortified Penguin] - "Fuck Winter"
I tug at the threads,
Legs like a heron,
Long in these shorts.
Winter spreads,
The fields are barren,
The earth is scorched.
Winter, she's cold,
But still I push on.
"Please don't," I'm told,
Yet, the Winter wind moans.
I'm deep in the season,
My sword to the hilt,
With no rhyme or reason,
I end this verse.
Winter gets into it
As I get into her.
Sword at the slit,
So hot the eggs shirr.
Now Winter is coming,
Here at the end,
My drum is drumming,
It finally begins.
The finishing touches,
The final moves,
Some furious thrusting,
My mettle proves.
The mountains are coated,
Thick and white.
Winter is doted,
I say goodnight.
"Goodnight."

pelv13] - Playin' Hookey
While the world busies itself digging,
I look and laugh, happily swigging
Down chocolate (like it comes from the faucet).
They push their cars in earmuffs and mittens;
I read my new book and play with the kittens.
All these poor saps are heading to work.
I've called in sick, my boss is a jerk!
As their eyes glaze watching the clock
I'll lay in bed and play with my... sock.
3.) [
Alexi Ice] - In the Winter
He loved me in the winter
When summer turned to snow
We met upon a happenstance
And our love was one to know
I made him fire
As he thawed my ice
His brilliance burned like embers
Bright enough to look twice
Maybe part of me feared him
And the way he broke me down
Then brick by brick built me up
From my shattered place upon the ground
And though he loved me deeply
I feared every day he would leave
And realize that my heart could not be
Something so easily retrieved.
His fight to keep me focused
Was a valiant one indeed
He suffered on the path of yearning
To fulfill every single need
He loved me in the winter
He became my sun
And though his journey was ending
Mine had scarcely yet begun.
So he left me in the springtime
Before the leaves began to bloom
And I was left with nothing but memories
Haunting at his tomb.
He left me with some scars
They were cracked and bleeding
And though I tried my best to heal them
It was him that I was needing.
