Never As They Seem (Poem by Mark Swift)

By
Things are never as they seem,
For that I am certain.
A thousand tales I have known,
And all will repeat.
Politics will be corrupt,
Sorrows will infect;
Anger will destroy,
Starvation will kill;
Thirst will consume,
Winds will overcome;
Yet in these all,
I've seen you before;
Every time I fall,
I see you again.
You've been with me,
Shared in my suffering.
Let me repay the favor,
Because here I will stay.

    Really beautiful piece, I was like wait, "this isn't too optimistic" at the beginning but as I read, the meaning became clearer. Awesome job! -double thumbs up

Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
