Edited at you service, my lady.

Mirth ineffable Flares bright from steel-struck flint hearts: Ineluctable Corucsate, argent! Apotheosis of fire For love's catharsis Claws rend my back's flesh Tendrils of pure brilliance: my Excoriation How can we render Up the innocence so soon, scars Unambergrised?

Well, despite commone sense and advice given here, I sold most of them already. :lol: For $220. I was watching the guy examine them all, and go through his guides. Yeah, I'm sure I could do better if I put them on ebay one-by-one. But, of course, then I'd have to go through all that. Might even get...

puissargent, adj.
From: puissant+argent
(noun form: puissargence)
: the silvery glow that surrounds those about to use magic to kick your ass.
If Stephen R. Donaldson wrote lyrics we might all be enjoying Puissargent Pepper!

Very nice--evocative and richly dark. There are metrical problems in both submissions but this is not haiku, so we must leave it for the judges to, well, judge.

Under the pressure of my lovely Harper, here is my humble entry. I approached this as TC's (or perhaps SRD's) thoughts regarding Linden. When first I woke and rose to greet the morn (No: lay earth-bound refusing to awake) The wise who dream regarded me with scorn For naught I knew of what might be a...

This reminds me of the idea that adding aerosols and particulates into the atmosphere (what used to be called pollution) would actually help cool the planet by reflecting sunlight and increasing cloud cover. See also arxiv.org/abs/0907.5140

The only good reason I ever hear for ethical behavior comes not from history or religion, but rather from socio-biology: The tribe that practices sophisticated ethics tends to out compete the one that does not. Because it takes the struggle for survival away from the individual and places it on the...

If, as Seareach wrote, a vicar is simply a priest, why not simply use the word priest? Sometimes what ought to be a simple word really confuses me. From the point of view of a graduate and an alumnus of the upper school at St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's School , an Episcopalian school in Manhattan befo...

My sincere thanks for the extension, wayfriend. Here is my humble entry in it's entirety... There once was a man named Covenant Who found himself in a predicament When he came to the Land He did not understand That escape was no true medicament The unclean driven forth from the village With flesh ne...

I had grander plans for my entry, but this is all that is finished so far.

He did not understand
That escape was no true medicament

Av..its fascinating to note,,that at the same general time of Shakespearre's Hamlet,,Tycho Brahe , of Scania, then of Denmark, was busting loose with heavenly discoveries of his own. His precision instruments ( before the telescope) gave him observations that helped Kepler( a student of his) formul...

As I recall, the movie had one primary redeeming feature, other than the soundtrack. And that was a 15 minute car chase up the wrong way of a real interstate. My criterion for whether the movie or soundtrack is better is that, while I would listen to the soundtrack from start to finish today, I have...
