She hates to leave the realms between the pages but her eyes hurt. This meant she needed a new pair, which made her sad. Of all the eyes she had ever owned, these were her favorites. They were a dark, dark, blue, and turned shades lighter depending on the type of light that entered them. When she was happy, they had a, soft, violet glow.

In the Haunted House on Desolation Hill, Dr Lucius Moon was busy working on his latest experiment. Pale green electricity
flickered fitfully over a metal harness suspended beneath a crystal dome through which the night sky was haphazardly visible,
dirty gray clouds scudding across the face of a blistered moon. Strapped and bolted to the metal framework, from which a
myriad wires dangled, connecting to various... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25373 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:00:14 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25369/t/Tawny-reminisces-Part-Five.html feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25369 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:25:40 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25368/t/The-Mystery-of-Mick-Jagger-Part-Eighteen.html
"You're drooling all over my satin jacket, you oaf," said Dylan, shoving his elbow into Osborne's pale white face. Osborne shoved back, jostling Dr. Homunculus in the process so that the startled physician almost dropped his tray of specimans.

Blaadfork's day or two had stretched into four. Natalie was jumpy, starting awake at every sound - not a good way to get sleep with two restless cats and an equally nervous mom in the house.

Her dad would be back late tomorrow and he would surely pick up on their mood; neither Emma nor Natalie could think of a good explanation for being so tense.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BoardFlak) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25361 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:42:00 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25349/t/A-Rose-by-any-other-Name-.html the wall supports the rose.
Upon the wall a poet's words
are daubed in blood;
near the stem of the rose bush
torn photographs and newspaper headlines
lay trampled in the mud.

the rose bush is uprooted but an old lady

Dear me, said Mr. Magistrate, if she doesn't stop soon I do believe she will explode and then, I ask you, how is she ever to grow old?

Perhaps, said Mr. Bill (a policeman) she ought to take some sort of pill.

Natalie wasn't certain what had woken her up, but the light coming in her door from the hallway didn't look right. She couldn't make up her mind what color the light was, but it just struck her wrong. Natalie slipped out of bed and softly crept toward the open door. She wondered where Chubber and Wash had gone. Normally, they couldn't be pried out of her bed at night.

above the white-foamed sea,
my trousers covered with pollen,
dandelion clocks in my hair,
the teeth of a breeze
nibbling delightfully at my skin.

A little further on a scowling English housewife climbs up over the edge of the hill and tells me I'm on her property, not so much as a good-day or an inch of a smile.

hibernating like an old tired flower
whilst the ravages of consumerism and commercialism
passed over it, fuelled by the fires of Thatcherism
and trendy nihilist pessimism.

A family moved to a distant town because the father's job got transferred. After a couple of weeks had gone by, the father took his son to a baseball game featuring the local minor league team.

Natalie looked up. "What was that about, Blade?"

"Why do you ask me, little one?"

"I don't want to act nosy and just go up and ask them." Natalie thought that would be obvious. "Besides, if you can see super far away, I'm betting you can hear super far away, too."
