Here's my poem. My cat's named Sasha. :)

And passersby who heard his echoing laughter wondered what kind of grief man had to go through before he could laugh so free.

Can it be in French, 'cause all I'm thinking of is French >.> (*is going native*) If so then here:

On ne t'oublieras jamais,
Feu follet dans la nuit.

(We will never forget you
Will-o'-the-wisp in the night
-translation, yech)

Alright, I've decided to pick my pony (err...kitty?), and it's actually not one I've submitted on YWS.

This is mine:

"PALINDROME"


Blacken; in black.
Closed eyes, I close
this world words kiss.
Fallen in all, dim draws past
broken, invoked things missed.

I lay to rest in the gap between
wake and dreams -- see the
ache of great lingerings
and swinging day.


(I wanna name my kiddie kitty Maximus Decimus Meridius :))

INSOMNIACS

In darkness we see
what is not
and it is there that we dream


(Kitty-Crestlefarber)
When all you have is nothing, there is alot to go around.

To fit my theme, how about this....

Falling
Never can take us
the madness does break us
Insanity
One by one, the monkeys fall
the jack does black
the queen does draw
the blade
the blade
it shines so bright
then we say good night, goodnight, goodnight

I have no cat, so i shall say bob is a pretty kitty.
Self quoting is the key to sounding wise and all knowing.

to sum up the evening:
you opened enough doors and
your eyes dried out.

something i already knew: i am
too diluted to be
your saline.

Mines fluffy.
Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we’re the greatest
They’ll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre.

Okay here's my poem,

Look at me from far,
I have moved on
But the nearer you get,
You will see the scars and the bruises
Left by your ruthless deeds

And, I'd like my kitty to be named Unicorn. :)
"Two Sides of a Twin - A Detective Ivy Case"(novel) coming to YWS this October(hopefully)!

Stay tuned to the Aadygirl channel for more updates!

See ya later alligators! And Happy 2014 by the way. :)

Here's mine:

Spoiler! :
Human (n);

2. Bone
3. 'Accidental' schadenfreude

I don't really like kitties, so can I have a ducky instead? I will name it Sarah.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Are you dead? You should have announced the winners by now.
Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we’re the greatest
They’ll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre.
