Okay...Time for me to stretch my legs and try something new! I promised hunnie_girl that I would post a challenge! Okay, here goes!

The poem must have the phrase:
"grins of severed words"

Here's mine:

The frowns of captive words
betrayed
the stench of bitter thoughts
delayed.

Soon these thoughts began to
swell
and take up the place where bad thoughts
dwell.

This akward bubble
continued its quest
and sought out a light
far, far west.

And lo and behold!
The captor could hear
his own desperate thoughts,
in his own left ear.

Quite alarmed
by the voices he heard,
he quickly grabbed paper
and freed each word.

The grins of severed words
exclaimed
the songs of laughing thoughts
unchained.

The millions of ashes
spread across the sky
cover up the horizon,
as another day dies.

Little children arise
out of the bunkers,
in search of a light
that has been lost forever.

Each gasp of air they take
leads them closer to the end
as radiation consumes them,
turning them into ash.

They died from brutality because
man forgot its own humanity,
and for those who cause the pain
the grins of severed words remain.

In answer to hunnie girl and a compliment to our gratious assasin and all those who have come before.

Spinning like a spiders web
Spinning like a spiders web
My words go subtly round
The dark secluded corners know
The secrets of the ground

What is our condemnation
It is as our cities walled
Defended by gorillas
Forever cruelly sound

Here is our poetry
The prose of simple slang
The bells of defeat they rang
Signaling these lovers pains

These are the grins of severed words
Our Twisted sense of power
The subtlety of word and deed
Delay the reckoning hour


"Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you." Earl

"Ooo!!! Ooo!! I know! I know! um...he he" Earl
(Yes I am crazy)

Casting frowns sorround his mind.
Grining with there tasteful smile.
Spin they're web of hate
Cut the cord.
Life is lost.
Left with the grins of severd words.
Still attached to his mind
Tortured by they're smile
Tortured by they're words
Never to escape.

I also wonder what the line you must use in the poem means, it is very very abstract.

all that you feel
is the bitterness in your head
all that was done
all that was said

Left with the grins
of severd words.
almost too silent
for anyone to hear
