Write a short love poem. The catch is that the first sentence must have seven words, and the following sentences should countdown until you have only one word for the last sentence. Basically 7 words, then 6, then 5, etc.
Love comes in numbers.

Battle of Baghdad

Six thousand miles to breathe your air;

deploy my self into your space,

have a war to share.

Love won the battle,

sent you home,

left me

there.

Three Seasons Lonely

Summer?  

A story of humidity and heartbreak

I'll tell myself later.

It sounds better after autumn's dance

spins to a stutter-stop--

once winter, swollen, 

has stayed

and spring can't exist.

Challenge

Repeat, if Necessary.

Swig the pain, don't sip.

Suck through your teeth and swallow,

then brace, brace for more.

Hopeful Gardener

I want to be known

for friendships I've grown,

lush and beautifully bloomed --

not the ones that I've pruned.

Loving

Heavy chain 

swung, 

missed.

Sick Note

A doused match head

still-warm and charred,

drawn slowly

along my lung's lining

by every tepid breath

in a damp, soft

burn of a line...

spawning a low,

radiant ache in my blood,

blooming like a sick smile

that shimmers through

every pore in my skin:

I might be contagious.

The Lucifer Effect

Call it a slip

or a slap in God's face -- 

his spectacular trip

swayed the whole human race.

Challenge
We are going to collaborate and put together something EPIC. In order for this to work, we need to stay organized. I have already compiled an interested group of Prosers. In the first comment (below) I will tag everyone IN ORDER. If you are not on the list it means that I have not heard from you yet, so message me with your interest and I'll add you to the list ASAP! I want EVERYONE to participate :) Once everyone takes their turn, I will post the final product and tag everyone who contributed. Questions? Message me. I hope EVERYONE participates. Again, message me if you want to be added to the list. Please post in the order in which you are named. At the end of your post, do us all a favor and TAG the next person on the list. Here is the opening paragraph: Love ricochets in haste Bouncing off the dew The cherry blossoms blink And my heart reciprocates Sweet chance resonating A new beginning resounds Alright...please post UP TO 6 lines (based on your artistic discretion) to follow whatever paragraph is posted right before you. :)

Martyred

Three basic needs that existence requires:

to sate, to sleep and to slake,

when distorted by the haze of desire

become necessary steps to forsake;

for I have learned there is fuel in the fire

licking me, as I'm bound to your stake.

Madison

Her smile sings, 

  slips,

    simmers in those eyes,

igniting her soul.
