    Ok...as the title suggests..you're on a timer...a 24 hours timer to be exact! so...write me a poem with 5 lines (no more) and...if you include the word "wicked" you will automatically gain 5 point...what are you waiting for??? GO! tick..tick..

    Wishfully wanton was this wicked woman,
    Who wantonly wanted to be wicked!
    Women who wish to be so wonton
    Are wicked women anyway!
    Be wise and unsurprised by such wickedness!

    I wish to be a burden
    for your shoulders, selfishly corrupting
    your time in the most wicked
    of ways, nuzzling into your heart
    to take all that you'll give me.

    Path Perilous (Tanka)

    We walk on hidden
    trails known only to lovers
    kept private; now death
    abandons its false pretense
    claws her down, oh, wicked day!

    Left Turn Only:

    Fate so cruel in her wicked ways
    what makes her so important
    in the grand scheme of things anyway?

    Threads unraveling, paths unclear,
    what I did I don't know, but this is real.

    Excalibur

    Willows lament into a smog smothered lake.
    The trauma of knights can be heard
    beneath its murky viscous surface...
    hear them bleed their wicked, razor screams
    as they lose their worst fear: Pride.

    Passionate Poetess

    She looks like a nun in habit clothed
    far from the mortal sins often loathed
    in this wicked world widely traveled
    she stays pure as it is unraveled
    suffering pilgrimages untold

    The voiceless Orphan

    In her wicked smile
    he grasped the the meaning of
    "Orphanhood"
    Perhaps swallowing the truth
    paralyzed his tongue. ..

    Ok...no mucking around...the time bomb has now gone off!!!

    Thanks again to all who took part....Mickey Mike..your poem had six lines so...I had to exclude it...Ben...you almost wooed me with your alliteration entry..Larry you went for a tanka and..I love formed poetry so you were close to winning. All the entries told a story that's true but...this one stood out because it also left me guessing...the title was intriguing and didn't seem to quite fit the content of the poem so...that alone held my interest so...the winner is...A Dreamer...
