Snack Time

The oil was golden yellow,

It's appearence was anything but mellow,

It boiled in golden bubbles,

Turning the cold to rubble,

In it's beauty, I forgot, or rather,

I didn't know it's ferociousness.

Challenge

Time for a rhyme ...

Take the title of your poem and line by line based on the title create a piece where every two lines rhyme ... this is similar to couplets, but for this challenge it will be more like an agnostic. The first letter of each line must be in bold ... minimum title length is three words and they must read straight up and down ... your piece should have NO spaces between the lines and the last three lines MUST rhyme ... if this seems confusing, I will start it off and you can come look to see what I am explaining ... the winner will receive a Prime Time Rhyme award certificate ... make sure you tag me as: @Danceinsilence in the comment box and not in your actual write. Failure to to do this will prevent me from finding and reading your work sooner ... the winner will be chosen based of rhyme ability, style and ingenuity ... have fun with this!

FOOD FOR THE SOULS

Fading notes of childhood long gone,

Owing to the oncoming storm,

Oncoming storm in all its rage,

Dying melodies strongly engage.

For the songs you sang float with the wind,

Old memories your voice, it brings,

Reveling in stolen joy,

Times spent in a pretty ploy.

Happiness is in everything you see,

Entering and as quickly it does flee,

Save some for the next day,

Or you might lose your way.

Until the song ends, don't you,

Leave my side, although a few

Seconds is the only thing due.

When you go out without make-up people call you ugly.

When you go out with make-up they call you fake. ("We prefer natural beauty.")

As writers, we inspire.

As writers, we save.

As writers, we empathize.

If we let ourselves down,

Who'll help the others?

Square your shoulders,

You gotta save the world.

When hearts bleed,

When minds despair,

When souls weep,

Love comes.

Falling like the stars

Falling like the stars is a song by James Arthur. This piece of lyric has always been my favorite so write something that uses the phrase "Falling like the stars" It can be anyway of using this phrase in any format you want.

Stars, stars, stars

Sunrises can't compare to,

The happiness on my mother's face,

Her endearing ways remind me

Of stars in the night sky.

If I could then I would

Spell her name with the stars,

Maybe the rush of joy I feel,

Is how it feels to fall like the stars.

The fabric of the universe,

Cut with scissors of time.

The fabric of hate,

Cut with scissors of love.

The fabric of reality,

Cut with scissors of mirrors.

The fabric of death,

Cut with scissors of life.
