Listen Child

Listen child
To the sounds of the waves
The gentle crashes
And the soft sound of them rolling back
Listen child
To the wolf howl at the moon
Singing a song as you drift off to sleep
Into a world of calm, warming dreams
Listen child
To the sounds of nature
For we are destroying them
If you don't listen now
You may never hear them again
Listen Child



WIND--Poem (There is a story version of this too.)
Poem can also be found at http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18952119/
in the way it is supposed to be presentated.


Wind don’t push me
I’m already insane
Wind don’t mock me
I’m already full of hate
Wind don’t speak to me
False postulations took over my mind
Wind don’t push me
I already want to die

You didn't listen Wind
I told you not to push me
You didn't listen Wind
I told you not to mock me
You didn't listen Wind
I told you not to speak to me
You didn't listen Wind
I told you not to lie to me

I saw through you Wind
I saw through your lies
I overcame you Wind
I overcame my dysfunctional life
I spoke to you Wind
I spoke the truth
I saw through you Wind
And I saw a new

Its about time, procrastinator!

[Ex Infernum Astris]

Sweet Geebus! another 10k to the prize funds - and a bug mask! I'm jealous of whoever wins this =P lol

[Espressa]

I think I'll tick this in my posts, and maybe come back after I've scribbled something. Hmm... nature...

[Doleon Mule]

So, I got a 200G daily chance item (some house thing lol, don't own one.) and sold it for a nice little double-entry-fee donation to myself.

good times.


I am curious, and have a proposition for someone of the gambling persuasion. Because of the damn daily chance, I have 170 tokens. I will sell them for 1G a piece to the first buyer to offer. This would be a great way to make a donation, and receive some tokens in exchange. who knows... they could be lucky... you might end up with 100,000 gold because of it... act now... =P

[Ex Infernum Astris]

okay, so before you all get all freaked out and say "that dirty thieving b*****d! He redcuced OUR prize money!!!one!11!1eleven!!", I would like to share a valid point which Mahayr recently brought to my attention: by some crazy random fluke of generosity, I ended up receiving 15k from the WW&CCF. That's just nuts. =P Whilst, that's a great chunk of change to put towards prizes, in the future, I will not likely be nearly so fortunate as I have been this time with all of you wonderful contestants. Thus, I have decided to cap the prizes for this contest at 20k. That's still a !@#* of a lot, (10k first prize, anyone? eek ) and that way, I'll have some set aside for future contests. Yes, that's plural; this is awesome, and I'd like to thank all present and future entrants for participating and making my first contest a great one. I also am going to donate my own gold, as it slowly increases, to the mule, and let that fund grow. Already I know, that just from surfing and posting and selling with the mule, I've added several hundred gold to the contest. As time goes on, hundreds turn into thousands, which turn into happy contest winners of the future.
So, pardon the change of mind, but I know you'll all understand. (oh, and I'll make the proper updates soon, please alert me if I forget something.)

[The Love Mutt]

Awesome! 10K first prize friggin rules!

I know what ya mean about little by little adding to your mule for contests.

My mule is my savings account haha

And I'm sure everyone will understand
