These are my two neighbors that moved in a few weeks back. The female (on the left) is named Rita, and her husband is Stuart. Rita said that they have resided in Mesa, Arizona since 1941. Before that, they were in France for about two hundred years. They told me that the Earth has changed so much since they first arrived in South America in 1163. Before coming to our planet, they lived in a spacious ranch home on one of Saturn's moons (Telesto) for three-hundred and eighty years. The couple invited me over to play Yahtzee this coming weekend. Honestly, I'm a little scared to go there. They have a pet named Yargus. He's mostly purple and extremely slimy. I was petting him for ten minutes one day as the couple were laughing. They finally told me that I was petting his butt. My bad. When the thing growls, it gives me the worst chills. I am praying that the Yahtzee invitation isn't just a ploy to get me in their apartment so that they can try to sell Amway products to me.

1st place - Visual Art - Open Individual.

I have been decidedly absent from all things Flickr and photography.

 

My day job is that of an English teacher, and the best part of my school day is my two class periods of creative writing. What an awesome bunch of kids!

 

As I have tried to do with my students in the past, we are in the process of publishing a collection of short stories. This year, because they did such an outstanding job on them, my students are publishing a set of horror stories.

 

And let me tell you, there were a couple that even creeped me out!

 

I'm spending the weekend doing the final edit and putting together the front and back covers, and I'm hoping that I'll have it up for purchase by Monday morning.

 

The kids are so excited. I am so excited for them!!

I live the present, but can’t leave the past

One foot is planted here, the other far

Away, in the deep mud, in a contrast

Of stillness versus movement, quite bizarre.

 

I feel myself extended in a line

Of omissions and thoughts, of truth and lies,

Two ropes – or more – entangled in a twine:

The future is a pattern we surmise.

 

I am confused, because my day and night

Are my worst enemies, footsteps quiet and frail

Adorned with necklaces made of light

And made again each morning, weak and pale.

 

I listen to hard music, but with a tender soul

A living contradiction, I want nothing and all.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

By Ryan Johnston -

 

Its never early

Never in the day

When the sun,

Brilliant with it's touch

Is drifting through the cracks

Of shapes, asleep in front

 

It's too late

To think about

It's too late to

Wrap myself in this

In the night

Guiltless with it's brush

Covering what we could always see

When all the lights were on

And I know

Tomorrow's up to me

 

It's in me still

Searching for that peace

Imagination bleeds

Raining over sleep

Pouring like an ocean

Running off into space

When you're not here

To ground me

 

Missing things

After letting go

Missing more than you know

Connect in dreams

I still see you

With all the lights on

Embracing change

Like poison in my veins

Would embrace my heart

Wishing you could know

You distill my blood

 

Connect in dreams

I still see you

Keep the lights on

Stay with me, don't let go

This ending plays over

With the lights out

I'll still be waiting

Wishing you could know

You're sewn into my soul
