I entered a contest yesterday Contest Quickie 5/10/10 by Electric Sunrise. The deal was five lines, ten entrants, ten minutes, from the prompt: Crystal hearts shed diamond tears. In my freaking-out haste, I read it wrong, and wrote ten lines. I noticed before he could view it, and quickly edited. But, ya know... I kinda liked my ten lines, so I'm posting it here. (Original had only the last five lines)
working backward through the passage of time
images reflected in the memory sublime
a heart broken now mended within
flowers wilting again and again
and still I try
a memento traced by the falling of tears
staccato diamonds now dripping for years
the finest crystal is still a heart of glass
the shattered image of lover's forecast
and still I cry
