In Memoriam
Daddy calls after Mama has gone to bed. I sit with the phone on the porch swing, listening to the crickets in the wet summer night, the hum of the fan cooling me through the screen door.
Daddy asks, “How you doing, Eden?”
“Okay.”
“You sure?”
I say, “Yeah.”
“There’s plenty of room here at Granddaddy’s, you tired of staying with your mama and want to come live with me.”
“Okay.”
“Eden? You want to come?”
“I have to think about it.”
“What’s there to think about?”
My friends, my school, my sen

Exquisite Corpse Round 3 : Results!
14 participants and 4 cycles! That's 56 lines of poetry.
Took some time, what with the holidays and all. I haven't edited this one, the capitalization and punctuation is mostly left alone because there's too much uncertainty with what it should be and I don't want to force myself on the poem.
Here's the order if you've forgotten it:

Blessing
Unicorn naps seem magic;
coo of foals snore.
each hair reflects sunshine,
each head dozing grace.
Even now, wild delphiniums
sway; yearlings sleep peaceful.
Lady youth has seldom met
temptation, now woes struggle,
each horse enchants,
she exalts.

The Worst Father
Helix was sat in his room, stroking Ada Lovelace and admiring her fluffiness, when the first Crazy Thing happened that day. It wasn't the first time it had ever happened, and he'd learned through trial and error that telling people about the Crazy Things only led to Bad Things. As he could only deal with one Thing at a time, he always tried to ignore the Crazy Thing when it happened.
"Purrrrrleave me alone; I'm working on Goldbach's conjecture." Said the cat.
"Lalalalalala!" Said Helix, with his fingers in his ears.

Epic- WIP
She hums a tuneless melody, a sigh,
A graceless melancholy’s lasting note
Unnoticed in its soft pronouncement: rote,
And yet unlearned—That innate reply.
So heartsick, she allows the swelling cry
to bloom. It stifles something of her throat,
Her hollow voice—which little may devote
To narrative, but that beginnings lie
In verse—made dull by common tragedy.
There’s nothing glorious in this. No song
Of some uncommon skill escapes her lips;
No eloquent articulation slips
Through form to follow
Gravity.
Today we all are dying, Grace thinks when
His box disappears underground. Today
Submits to Time's exact
sonnety stuff
