I don't suppose the brevity monotype will allow me to slobber on the screen and get away with that..
A DNA sample will not suffice seeing as how I'm not built to service that model...
And yet, I may be in need of a mi(c)key very soon as I realize... This gps system im using with my coordinates

"Just Hasn't Found What it's looking for".

Direct me to the poem of your life's perfection, please?hurry!

    "Hey, what ever happened to Cat?"
    "I don't know, I showed her a picture of a pretty girl and she wandered away ..."
    I like this little poem. Not bad, huh? Antihistamines are good things unless of course you're a histamine.
    Well, thank you very much. I like your reaction. I think it's a positive step in the right direction. :))
    Sweet dreams to you as well. mikey

I love the picture. She does look sexy and innocent. I love the poem. The last line is really telling. You told yourself the lies. You said what you wanted to believe. She was not really innocent. Great work.

Too bad you missed the deadline. I think this one might have won. What I loved: the alliteration of "coo caroo caroo" and "cackles cruelly," and the last paragraph, with its tight rhyme, and the surprise of "an eager ear/ so very near/ the attached to me . . ." A couple of suggestions: I think "sundress" is usually one word, and "anymore" should probably be two words in this context: "any more."

I think not many human emotions can cut as deep as betrayal by a trusted one. The sad thing is it makes you suspicious of everyone in the future. This is very well done, Mikey. Good job.
Have a great day.

Mesmerizing metaphor...I love your description, both of your 'subject' and of yourself (the fool who starts rumors). Your 4th stanza is very well versed and reminiscent of our gullible nature...the lascivious crowd on the other side of the hill.

"Little thinks in the field, yon red cloaked clown
of thee on the hilltop looking down."
~Emerson

Very nice work with this one. I love the twist at the end, not what I was expecting. Too bad yo missed the deadline for this contest, I am sure it would have been a top contender.

Poem of power does relate
The sense of love that hesitates
Seeing the beauty touched by the sunset
Lost because delay has been the assent

How to capture again the dream so real
The grasp of one that is pure beauties call
The desire to hold not a dream but reality
That is what the poem shares with this tragic twist

Romance desired turned to a dream
That came form the wonder of the perfect scene
Than changed with a moments flight
Seeking not the real but the dreamers sight

Verses flowed well into each other. Action flows smoothly. Descriptive language well used especially in the last verse. Write on.

Your stunning words often leave me breathless .in awe of your talent,one that I can but hope to emulate.
If have a goal with my own writing (and I do!)
It is to be able to pen words as eloquently as you do
