Lugh

and you said you couldn't write poetry. remind me to call you a liar later.

yes you made me smile. I think I would stare too....

Musta been a Faggot When I lived once before Bruised and abused Yet men I did adore I’m just a teenager Drifting on a lonely tide Everywhere and nowhere Eroded, washed aside Musta been a Queer In some past life Shunned and beat upon I’d known some strife

Inside -- upside down Topsy-turvy, spinning ‘round Living on a life-line -- astronauts in space Living evolution; creation’s slap in the face. Tight little tummies tucked all in Hiding faces, fingers, toes and skin No one sees me, knows I’m here No one believes till they’re gulping for air. Praying to the porcelain gods – Please, oh please, not me. Secret found -- ultrasound Thumpa-thump, sound so keen Tiny thing the size of a bean Ocean

Dancing in the aether Between here and there Nowhere and everywhere A soul without a care Dancing in the stardust Playing among the stars Cosmos for a playground A soul without a cause Dancing in the moonbeams Sinking through the clouds Looking at humanity A soul among the crowds Dancing toward the future Forgetting

Three poems that explore what happens to a soul between death and rebirth.

Bee... if you listen, she'll tell you her name.

this one was supposed to be a sort of parody... about how things get messed up in the reading. There was a text with some missing words, people filled in the words they wanted and got it wrong. In the meantime, something else was going on in a different place that had significant meaning and could have been avoided if people had just paid attention. I dunno... I think I wrote it to be a little confusing because that is how life is.

I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes for my birthday... it was wonderful. Mostly thanks to all of you. Thank you again. Lugh.

giggles, got to love it.

Oh my goodness! Let's not offend people who read porn with the use of the word circumcision. Heaven forbid people who read about tying each other up, putting people in nappies, and pissing over each other should get a little queasy over the semi-standard practice of the removal of a piece of their penis. Let's not mention the rape, torture, and brutalization of pre-pubsecent boys under the guise of "boy love"... oh yeah... circumcision is the word you want to aviod.

Is is possible to terminate her parental rights then present her with a bill/payment reduction for the medical costs beyond what the reasonable/expected cost of insurance/deductables/co-pays would be? It's not your fault that she failed to pay her taxes nor filed paperwork incorrectly nor waited too long to file said paperwork. All that is her fault and she should be made to take responsibility for it. She has contracted a job, any expenses not included in the contract are hers -- you are obligated to pay for insurance, she is obligated obtain it. Even with the low income insurance, does she have to tell them her parental rights are terminated? It's a private affair, right? Why can't she do like most people and say I don't know the baby daddy? Does she know if its you or Mike? And give them a list of names. I mean what can they really do? Do they have to see the birth certificate at the hospital? Does she even have to file the birth certificate immediately? What are the exact rules on that? I mean... can they hold the baby hostage if she don't? I'm almost positive that you have up to a year (at least six months) to file a birth certificate. You might want to look into that. Just some thoughts... probably don't mean a thing. Calm down and let that lawyer brain work.

LOL not a problem, I'm just glad you are enjoying them. and yes I tend to write a variety of genres which I have learned is rare in this day and age. Go figure.

thank you. in flash fiction word choice is a must. sorry to have dragged you in again, but glad you got drug along.

flash is supposed to be little glimpses, like a snapshot I guess. This does that. Glad you liked it.

YAY! good to know you didn't waste an hour of your life. Yes, it seems several people are waiting for the next bits... they are written or being written. Hope you enjoy them as much or more. Really glad you enjoyed this one. Hugs!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. ps.. and it's Lugh!

schedule it now, and apply for the leave for the scheduled date which should be no later than a week after your 30 days. be prepared to take unpaid time off. You should be back in a week. Schedule the surgery for a friday, and take off the entire next week, then go back to work the following monday. granted you loose 6 days pay... but at least you TRIED to do it their way first.

I marketed it as a fairy tale due to some of these reasons. It's a side step from the real world, similar but not quite. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Really I am. I think we are all obsessed with something at some point or another in our lives. This one happens to be healthy for the people involved, even if the people around them do not quite understand. Glad to be amazing.

LOL! I'm glad someone picked up on some of the subtle things that were going on behind all that runaround. The reader don't know exactly what Puck is up to. The next story may not be much help in that department either I'm afraid. Puck is still hiding, but Legands... now there's a story for you. I'm glad this will be in your read-over file. That's something I like to hear. Now... mosey on over to the forum and help me tame the girls before they get out of hand! They want DETAILS of the next installment! Can you believe that?

snickers. I could have cut some of it, upon reflection, but I guess I'm looking at the story as a whole. I'm glad you found it compelling, and I agree I am a bastard. Never argued that point. Vote Lugh King of Cliffies? Mystic is on the list. Monday was from 2009, Mystic from 2010... one at a time. I'll take the thumbs up. The girls are griping in the forum... wanna join them?

You're strange Tiger. So is your poetry.

hey buggers, this is one strange poem. that's not a bad thing, usually I find poetry a little odd, and yours is no different, so get over it. I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to read across or down or what... If I read across I get one meaning and if I read down I get another... so I guess I can do both, but then I'm not sure which you intended or if you are just a sneaky old coot and meant both and are trying to make me over think this... Lugh

snickers not a bad first try I had him pegged for MPD or something similar about a quarter of the way in though, because you left a lot of clues. keep writing.

LOL! yeah I think there is a major difference between Viscara and Mascara. Sometimes just a few words can have a huge impact, the trick is finding the right words.
