NaPoWriMo Day 5In space
there burst a fire,
so hard upon black ice.
The shadow walks on glass in war.
Nepenthe.

NaPoWriMo Day 4An Abundance of Onslaught
sleeps deep in his eyes.
My deathly dream weeps,
beneath moribund skies

Ragged headland lies open,
and sand dunes arise.
The curlew and lapwing
call out sad cries.

An Abundance of Onslaught
breaks hard in his eyes,
My nightmares wake up
to lightening-clad skies.

The stars are all twisted,
and mist stirs with fog,
The wind falls so empty
upon stagnating bog.

An Abundance of Onslaught
froze closed his eyes.
Morpheus drifts weary
on opium smoke skies.

Sea Shanty Ahoy!We sail o'er seas with our eyes to the mast,
an' the waves roll below us, all foamy an' vast!
Oh! The clouds whip above us, as sheets in a storm,
while mates take the rigging, an' John Barleycorn!

Oh! We'll fire e'ry cannon on weak-hearted dogs,
til they fall to the decks, them land-lubbin swabs!
For Fair Jen's fair shapely, cleated and neat,
so swears e'ry sailor, wi' biscuits to eat!

We sail'd passed Tortuga, and close by the coast,
but the sight of our plunder, was finest to boast!
We ha' coffers o' jewels and pieces o' eight,
glitterin' trinkets, o' twenty tonne weight!

Oh! We'll fire e'ry cannon on weak-hearted dogs,
til they fall to

NaPoWriMo Day 2Your lies are all so beautiful,
they set my mind alight.
A tear becomes a waterfall,
you paint the darkness light.

The stars are not so empty,
now that they have names.
Each one speaks a story,
softly through its flames.

You say that we have souls,
and we're not simple weeds.
That Earth was made for us,
just as our Gods decreed.

NaPoWriMo Day 1Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Or a Winter's night, all clouded grey?
Shall I set thy soul in lapping lakes?
Or broken waters' blistered breaks?

Shall I paint thy words as woven silk?
Or dirty tongues of crudest ilk?
Shall I claim thy heart a rarest jewel?
Or state it muck for feisty fool?

Shall I daub thy face a sunlit morn?
Or barren field, all stript of corn?
Shall I make thy life a golden dream?
Or draw it out - a tortured scream?

Shall I fall a prey to indecision?
Shall blank paper haunt my vision?
Shall these fingers writhe and wizen,
trapped within a parchment prison?

The Curse of Octavia (Archaic Horror Story!)~7,000 words, complete story. Cookies at the end!

It was a golden autumn day when I first beheld Octavia drifting through the winding woods, her small footsteps crunching over the fallen leaves. Burning crimsons, fiery oranges and washed-out browns all lay about her feet. Her hair was long, flowing auburn; her face and figure brilliant and dainty, with some elusive mesmeric grace whose origin I failed to trace. But it was her eyes that held me; they were dark liquid pools of eternity, their depths unfathomable, mysterious and serene. In those wells of midnight wonder, something wild, pagan and mischievous seemed to lurk; it was in the subtle

This is a very impressive work. The black background equipped with hazy details and the sick greenish touch with shining eyes; this is an impressive work I have to say

~Somnolent-Droid Jul 28, 2012

Wow, thanks very much! I'm very much a beginner with a great deal to learn. It's only in the last month or so that I've started using a drawing programme, for the first time ever. This is the just third picture I've ever made, so your kind comment means a lot!

~NotenSMSK Jul 28, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Well then you will rise a lot! Seeing that you can impose your imagination on a sheet of paper means you can do a lot more when you get the hang of the drawing program

And you are welcome
