I really like the sound, the rhymes and the rhythm combine to help make me feel the urgency this poem communicates to me. Nice ---------- I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

Seen through diamond shaped holes in the metal bars, the trees shifted and swayed, happy green jungle-gyms. Out of reach. Something ate tasty-looking, juicy fruit. Out of reach.

The void bubbles......... buckles........Bursting out, ......somehting is coming out..... the void stretches trying to keep it in.. But it pops..........

Suddenly into the quiet night, something shatters, first an egg breaks, than a child sobs loudly. There is no respite, no chance of hope. ---------- I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

So, I'm the nonfoods buyer for my co-op. They've been asking for a lot of stuff lately, but not cleaning supplies. Well yesterday I get a huge list of supplies they suddenly need desperately. Now, as a point in fact, it's not my job to know what's going low, they're supposed to tell me. Of course though, that doesn't help, if there are no nonfoods, it's my fault of course. So, since then I"ve been bugged by three people asking why I haven't gotten the supplies yet. Nevermind the fact that I have a test today, and maybe other things to do besides biking way out into the middle of nowhere every second. So, I get up this morning, decide to go before lunch, but I don't end up making it out there till about eleven. But by then, I'm pretty hungry for lunch, because I didn't get up in time for breakfast. I've got to have that stuff before lunch at 12:20, so finally I get out and go. Now, after all the crap I've gotten since yesterday about how we need the "purple cleaning stuff" desperately, damnit if I'm going to run low again I'm determined to carry back all I can (mistake number one). Having emptied my back pack I manage to get a huge container of the purple stuff (probably weigh about ten pounds). Then, I decide to grab two more small containers, adn put one on each handle bar (even I knew that if I didn't balance them I wouldn't be able to do it). mistake number two. So, I carry them out to my bike--I can't get on. Well, I said, this driveways' rediculously lumpy, that must be the problem. I walk my bike down it, and try again in the street. I can't get on, but I do swerve striaght across the road. Finally I get on, but I can't go straight. Ok, this isn't going to work, so after a few more tries, I head back towards the supply depo. I figure I'll put one of the small containers back, and carry the other in my backpack (mistake number 3). After trying for a minute I get the small container into my backpack, but it won't quite close, and I'm worried about it falling through a bit because of the sheer weight (my backpack's pretty new, that's not the problem). It's hard to get on, but I do it. Two blocks later the sidewalk is packed with schoolkids. The teacher tells them over and over to walk on the right side so that others can get by. However condsiderign that shes' walking on the left side herself, I can see why none of the kids listen. So, I get off, walk my bike past the gawking kids. About now, I'm remembering that it's been about 20 hrs since I've eaten, and I'm hy.. n/m I have serious sugar problems. Also, I'm rememberign that my mom has been telling me to see a doctor about the funny lights that appear in my head when I haven't eaten for too long, for about a week. Hmm, I really better make an appt for that, because she's right. Now my hands are starting to shake badly, and when I try to get on my bike, I can't. A motorcyclist smirks. @#%$. Finally get on, across the street, and get home without any more adventure. By then though my hands were shaking so bad, I could hardly drink the cider I poured (and spilled a bit of) Still can hardly type. Man I love being a nonfoods buyer! ---------- I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

“What are the Two Rules?” “Kill your man quick, and never touch a fire-arm” “And why?” “We kill our opponents quickly, because we want the same done to us. We don’t use firearms because the penalty is death.” “Insufficient answer, why must fire-arms, the ultimate quick death, be eschewed?” “We say it’s because they’re liable to magic, but more because there’s no art in killing that way.” “Ok, and why does this rule stand”? “Those who don’t wish to know our trade support the rule, because they feel it lessens the blood. Those who know it well would not wish to use guns, they remove their advantage. Those who know our trade slightly avoid them only because of the penalty.” “And, lastly, what is the penalty for breaking either of the Two Rules?” “A quick death-on-sight from any and every member.” ---------- I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

Beautious thing, bulbous and red, Attractive curvaceous shape, quite like the peak of some red lip, You grow upon my vine unsung.

Why should you deal? *because I have the goods* I could snatch them before any of you stopped me, and you know it. One of you could probably kill me, but I'd sure as hell take him down. I'd like to think that Y'Tren might even help me... Shall we work together? Aim for the well together? A truce. I'll keep hold of my artifacts and you of yours?

I can't give long comments, but... Btw, this is really neat I think maybe the bit about World of Two Skies being thrown out into space could be filled out a little bit. I was confused by the sentence about it having two stars, one giving day the other night. How does a star give night?
