That's rather haiku-ish.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Which is funny, considering that my prose pieces are long rambly things.

Poetry is fun. I wrote some after a long dry spell in writing nearly 20 years ago now. I may have to post it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hey, folks in the know...When one is submitting a non-fiction essay to online magazines, is it bad form to approach more than one at a time? Do I have to wait to get rejected by one to move onto the other?
Generally, yeah, unless you know for a fact they accept SS. What I do is rewrite significant sections, so I'm technically shopping different essays. Because I am mercenary.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
but in a
bold sudden
tympani of color,
russet and gold and flame.
I adore the first three lines of this section, Steph - the 'tympani of color' wins a "oh, yeah, of course, that's what it's like except I've never used those words before" from me. I'd fool with the last line, though. It feels a little... mannered? It doesn't have the same flow.
I like it, though. It does a good job of evoking that first week of real chill, when it's still a new and fabulous thing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Poetry is fun.
Sometimes. Sometimes it's just a job. And sometimes it's like bleeding from the eyes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Very nice. I like both the phrasing and the concept.

Test for possible future poetry posting
Checking for line breaks.
edit: hmph. OK, how do you do line breaks? I checked the quick-edit.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Line breaks are made by hitting only one return at the end of a line, and putting < br > (w/o spaces) at the end of the line.
So this (w/o spaces in the brackets):
Here is < br >
how you < br >
do it.
Would look like this:
Here is
how you
do it.
