The space needle went dark last night. The city mourns a much beloved man.

Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on black days
-Soundgarden.

Seattle is covered in black clouds today
and crows fall like flower petals from the sky
wings like silent songs and prayers
disappearing into the hole that's opened up in our hearts

for those who don't get why we mourn the deaths of artists, understand that they have been a respite from the storm, a haven when all around us goes dark and fear eats at our souls. They've been family, friends, role models, cheerleaders, and teachers. They have been there when those who should have been have failed us. They helped us through bad times and helped show us how to survive when things are hard. Sometimes they help us get out of bed. Sometimes they keep us on our feet when we want to give up. Sometimes they save our lives. Artists have inspired us in endless ways during our lives. Shown us the beauty, the ugly, comforted us through fear and through anger. We've made memories with them, so when they die, a part of us dies.

RIP Chris. Love to your family, friends, and fans. You will be greatly missed.
i've been a bit distracted lately and kind of missed this. i think everyone who entered this was a winner. everyone's poems were amazing and beautiful and heart felt. i'm proud to be part of a community that can come together like this and just be part of something bigger than the sum of it's parts. everyone who entered, read, voted, and judged; thank you.

I've read all the poems entered into this competition, and the shortlist is now in the hands of our judging panel.

The winners are scheduled to be announced on 8 May.

I was blown away by the quality of the entries to this competition, and got rather emotional reading some. Others were outright filthy, which we also love

Thank you to everyone who took their time to craft poems for this competition. You have done Alan proud.


some of us more than others

That would just create more work for the moderators and the judges.


waaaay more work.
no, it won't take it out automatically. if you want single space, you have to do that manually. that said, while we prefer single space, we will publish double spaced stories.

Thank you for the correction sprite. It is true that Dean Martin's "drink" was either very watered down scotch or more often apple juice! Who knew!


i did. sprite are omnippletent, you know.

Sometimes you just lose the will to keep on keeping on...

Quote by Master_Jonathan
I can't believe no one has mentioned Dean Martin or Foster Brooks!


both of whom played drunks, however, neither drank (tho Brooks used his experience drinking early on in his life to play the alcoholic persona that he was famed for).
all the time, just to sort of share my thoughts or something funny.

Lol, there aren't many who know that


alternative fact.

Let's agree to disagree on who won WWII. If taking over part of Europe can be seen as a victory, then liberating the rest of Europe was one too, that after all was the agreed on purpose of the allied effort.


You all know that Japan won WWI, right?

Isn't that just life as usual in the Pacific Northwest?

(Vancouver's rain is a running joke in Canada)


it's been particularly wet this year... actually, it all started when cheesewhiz come into office, if i recall...
Quote by HeraTeleia


Pssht. It's been raining for 100+ days straight here, unless we broke that streak a couple of days ago. Even my hydrangeas are screaming about being overwatered.


i had to google a picture of the sun - forgotten what it looked like.

Was it Socrates who said the use of of abuse is the sign of a lost argument? I suggest you study the map of Europe before and after WWII. You will see more people were invaded than at the beginning. The Russians won WWII in Europe.


Actually, France won. Because I said so.
