    22.7 Nature

    Sunflowers hang their head
    not in shame,
    but ready for harvest.

    22.8 Double form

    Again I write a
    double form, with nothing to
    truly say, but I

    hate writing all this
    nonsense, losing poetic
    justification.

    23.1 To/About myself

    Oh my god,
    I am writing
    all these poems
    by myself -
    my club mates
    are sleeping..
    and so should I.

    23.2 Username

    In the midst
    of conversation
    with Colm, I wondered
    at what point
    do these not become
    poems anymore,
    but fragments?

    23.3 War

    My fingers are battling
    my head,
    they want to keep going
    but sleep, too.

    23.4 Sport

    Does TC realize
    we are involved
    in a dual,
    a poetic sport
    of non-poetic ramblings?

    23.5 Wildcard

    I thank God
    for new prompts -
    my brain
    can tolerate.

    23.6 1 color/shape

    I have a love
    for Abby's red skirt,
    the flair, the shape,
    the prettiness.

    23.7 Nature

    The babbling brook
    babbles beautiful,
    beckoning baby birds.

    23.8 Double form

    Here we go again
    counting seamless syllables
    wondering when I

    will be kicked off of
    a poetry site for my
    lack of good writing.

    24.1 Me

    I start to laugh
    as I realize
    I'm the only American
    in FOP able to
    guard those Europeans
    as Cynnie put it.
    It's late,
    but luckily I have
    my DVR as background noise.

    Europeans - wake up!

    She brings her
    silver shoes into
    the store,
    and begs for gold.

    24.3 War

    Abbalicious has already declared
    FOP the winner -
    must we continue
    this war?

    24.4 Money/Sport

    I wish one day
    to own greenery -
    a money tree
    to be exact.

    24.5 Wildcard

    You'd think after
    all these "poems",
    I would be able
    to remember
    the prompts.

    24.6 Color/Shape

    She heeds his advice
    one last time,
    focusing on the square,
    brown book -
    maybe one day
    she will follow.

    24.7 Nature

    I hold seashells in my hand
    when I'm far away
    in the mainland,
    wishing for a touch
    of the ocean.

    24.8 Double Form

    I can no longer
    think for myself: soon I will
    find that brain has

    started to fall down,
    liquefy, for it has
    worked too hard today.
