Outside, the bone of the moon glows, but within, we lie, destroyed in the dark. Who knows when the sun will kiss our skin again? The bomb hit fifty miles away, which gave us enough time to enter the shelter, my children are silent and staring at the wall their mother, my beloved wife is certainly dead. We can sustain our bodies but what of our minds?

That's it Bucaneer, keep going!

Hi all, it's me, (ducks to avoid any really heavy implements)

Well, this all seems to be going rather well
To those of you who have accepted the challenge in good grace, I salute you. May your pen's/keyboards take you to the stars.

To the moaners: Pish! Where's your sense of adventure? let it flow, that line can take you anywhere....

To Ole: One it's finished, just post it like normal, Ole, and say on here that you've posted it so we don't miss it in the rush! Put RLG in the title too, so it stands out more.

Also, public thanks to David Bruce who has agreed to put us on the new 'highlighted' Forum Threads board for a day or so to make sure everyone sees us. Cheers David, drink on me later in the Brit..

OK, gotta go, poem to finish. Was all going brilliantly for the first line or so, then downhill from there!

have fun all!

tc

He say the bone of the who did what? Destroyed..? Oh jay-sus...

Done and posted. Do I get a prize for being first?

Wow, e.g. That was some going! I'm just putting mine up, and I've had months to work on it!
Yes, you get a prize, get in the queue behind Ole for some Blue String Spaghetti soup, fresh from the Soup Dragon...(that'll teach you! )

Don't I get Blew Soop for my 21 minute posting?

Luffly line TC...busy at work today (sneaking in to post this) - so won't get a chance to get my head quiet and write until later this evening. Am liking it though!

Jumbo...what a lovely poem!!! Is that it though?? or are you gonna try for a story??

Bucanneer - like yours also - same question for you as for Jumbo.

Now tc...all this about David having a drink on you...don't you think it would be more fitting to have the drink on the table??? You're so intimidating woman!

<Added>

Hope y'all don't mind, but I won't read and comment until I've done mine. Don't want to be influenced by all the great efforts, you see!!!

Jumb, you get a whole year's supply, with Froglet crutons, AND a ride in my skyboat to see the Iron Chicken. Mollified?
Actually, did you really write that off the cuff? It is good, you know...

Glad you like the line Wordy, looking forward to the result.
And re David, no I'm being the table, a foot rest.... In fact anything he wants. Its my pennance for being gobby earlier in the week. I'm wearing a hair shirt too, and have a scarlet letter 'G' sewn on it in my best embroidery. Then there's the brand on my skin, of course...
That'll teach me.

G for..? Gucci? Nice brand!

Hey, is it just me or is the type on the forums showing up BIGGER than normal. I'm having to sit on the other side of the room so I can read the screen!

tc, thanx for the soop! Great stuff!

Wordy, thanx. I do have a 'story' part finished!

And tc, the poem was off the cuff - it just sort of came to me having read your line! Looking forward to the ride in your skyrocket. Mmm! That sounds a bit dodgey! Least said about that ....

Just off to type up my offering. Like wordy (and we do, don't we?)I won't read anybody's till I've posted mine.

See ya later

Climb aboard Jumb, may have to strap you firmly in...no, not a safety thing, I just LIKE it....

Been funny today.
Normally by now I'm just having the first stirrings, (No! J), of panic as I realise I am stuck, and will have to re-think, but today it's already all done, and I'm just sitting here waiting madly for everyone else to produce...
And, (selfishly & sheepishly) some of that is 'cos of wanting someone to be able to read mine.... sometime....please? sniff
Pathetic.

Back late-ish on tonight. TTFN

Off to read the others now...
