hiddenmarlin14 said:🤣 yeah, they're black. but I still need at least one more 🕺

those brown ones were actually decent... both the style and the color...

hiddenmarlin14 said:Maria Wright62 said it's happening tomorrow... 🤷 Maybe you could just knock out your masterpiece tonight, then just slap it up tomorrow... 🤔

Yeah, I'm basically a river myself... next month... everything's cool... so did you end up grabbing those shoes?

So, is Spring actually gonna wake up tonight as its own little challenge, or are we just stuck waiting until next month or whatever...

Since I’m the official recipient of the Order of the Golden Laurel Wreath—decorated with fancy patterns and all—I guess I have to keep the tradition alive by casting my votes... My first goes to Louise Hay, because honestly, after asking just three questions on this forum, she basically birthed a whole new life and wrote a poem that hits way too close to home. My second vote? It's going to Maria Wright62, though seriously, don't even bother asking me anything else, Maria... everything is settled...

interesting...

Once upon a time, I was Antonio Banderas
cut out his face at life-size
from some magazine someone handed me...
so there I am, strolling down Fifth Avenue
with a sailor and a clown,
my kids
when suddenly, a mermaid comes walking toward us
along with her buddy, the Statue of Liberty
oh man, Antonio, he is so damn hot
well, my Liberty isn't just hot,
she’s enough to drive you absolutely insane...
go on then, show yourself
if you actually have the guts, if you're really the man
if you're the real deal.
then I rip off my mask and it's just that same old story...
that classic American vibe where they all thought
you were some big shot or something
but Antonio Banderas to you
is nothing but a joke...
I used to be Antonio Banderas...

Megan Gray4 said:Yeah, she’s basically the most understated poet in the whole country...🙂

my poem is better though... deeper... you can just feel the love in it...

one vote for Ruby, one for Soha...

voting is such a joke... lock this thread already... I’m not letting anyone vote on my absolute masterpiece, which was honestly just meant to nudge a topic that actually looked promising for once... let them go ahead and count their little numbers if they want to be petty... cheers to the participants... though obviously not you guys...

love is just pain
and the pain hits right in the gut
out here in NYC, staring up at a hundred-story skyscraper
baby, I love you...
but damn, you're killing me
