Snowflake dragonflies sash and sway.

Beneath a pregnant, lofted moon
we watch the sky.  Remember June?
We both stood tall, our fears at bay.

Hearts cracked, the past weighs on our backs.
On crooked paths, we've gone astray.
Two hurt souls lured by winter's croon.

Snowflake dragonflies sash and sway.

DFC 2014 IS HERE!Every single year I say that I will get this organised way earlier, and every year I spent 2 or more days raging at a screen.
But it is so rewarding to see you all do this and it's those feelings are always very short-lived so I keep doing it year after year.
This year featuring 31 forms that I haven't featured before. I went hunting for forms and had a lot of fun.
WHO'S READY FOR MORE DFC? I KNOW I AM!
:bulletblue: Please check out The DFC Form Chart 2014.   All of the days are outlined with forms and prompts and explanations for each.

:bulletblue: All entries (that we know about) will be getting collected and placed into our designated
 Day 4--Octain Refrain

It consists of eight lines: two tercets (3-line stanzas) and one couplet in the structure Abb, aca, bA. Line 1 and Line 8 are identical. It can also be presented as A, bba, cab, A with the two refrains wrapping around the two tercets. The fifth line (c) should have some internal rhyme in it.

Highgarden by Aurelia-Isabella  broken feverthe first time a boy
smoked too many
cigarettes because
of me, he became
a man. he coughed
my blood into his
palms, tasted my
iron & grit, his tongue
finally learned the
inside of my body.
he clutched his chest
and felt only my heart-
beat. the pulse of a
moving car is one akin
to racing cattle or maybe
just a fever the moment
before its break.
i do not know what it
means to break; only
to burn out like a brilliant
star, or just another
addict’s mistake.
