Submerged in Swan Lake

by `OfOneSoul, Nov 2, 2012, 5:10:44 PM
Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

Swans and wings are floating by
on a breeze imbued with jasmine and
willows outstretching their arms in welcome.

Through deep breaths he arrives
plunged in murky, pungent water.
A quiet whisper, and he prays -

"_Please... may I linger here?"

Willows lower their arms
and jasmine falls to the Earth
where the wind dies and finally rests.

The crows are cawing hymns,
begging to be swans.
But only the duck submerged in Swan Lake
has delved the desired shore.

Its waters dangerous and plagued
by monsters baring their teeth;
most ghastly and putrid they are
that no crow may ripple its surface
nor any songbird seeking beauty fair.

The Swan Maidens bare their chests
and open their wings in veneration -
for the duck has sought beauty through courage
and earned his guise of grace and virtue.

Disillusioned

"You girls need a ride?"

October looked up, letting her eyes stray from the gravel beneath her feet. She had been walking along the highway for so long she had started counting her steps to pass the time, hoping that when she finally looked up she would see civilization. Abigail ran to the truck driver's passenger door, haphazardly pushing past October as if she had never ridden in a vehicle before.

October glared at the driver's soiled clothes, greasy hair, and crooked teeth. She imagined his smell which made her gag uncontrollably. It was as if his unkemptness was setting off red flags in her head: "Never talk to strangers. And never acceDisillusioned by `OfOneSoul

Love Me Dead

It's that time once again.

The preparation and planning has been glorious. Though it is the same record I've played over and over for millennia beyond millennia, it is no longer broken. I have managed to ripen the mix and stir until it is an entirely new recipe. As petite and distastefully helpless as this form is, I am still an animal and can enjoy my bestial instincts that allow me to suffer pleasure in my kill.

So unappealing is this fragile form humans bare, however; to pity them is to offer a luxury they do not deserve. Their flaws and weaker forms aside, there is work to be done. One paw upLove Me Dead by `OfOneSoul

It's the ApocalypseRed sensors rotated and his gears resonated within him.
He could hear the mass silence that echoed endlessly;
no wind wafting through trees or horns blaring…

- only ghosts.

He sensed the crunch of metal and rust grinding
and the clank of disused limbs popping into place.
The mechanics of his body had forgotten basic processes…

- and he felt ancient.

Saved recordings worked through his hard-drive like memories
reminding him of times with oceans of cities, flocks of humans,
and towers so tall he could stand next to them and be called…

- brother.

The Doctors In"He's probably dead," Roger exclaimed as the two kittens giggled mischievously behind him.

Krystal and Amanda had arrived at Coleman Park appropriately attired for the evening. Their previously decided-upon costumes seemed much sexier in person than when Roger was helping them choose outfits at Wal-Mart. Being the edgy person that he was, he had politely declined their offer of buying a disguise for him. He had never celebrated the holiday, and instead purchased a t-shirt that furthered his rebelliousness with bright yellow text that read, 'I don't do costumes.'

AND IT WAS REALLY HARD TO PICK WINNERS, OKAY!?

_{But let's cut to the chase...}

Who are the winners of our Unexpected Contest?

Drum-roll, please?

The winners of our Unexpected Contest are...

First Place goes to -

~PhillipTobias for their piece:

HEART-AND-DAGGERRozoth sniffed the air, picking up natural scents through the forest canopy. Below him were the rotten smells of the other orcs. The stench bored Rozoth, who had learned every scent of each orc in the hunting party. He preferred to take watch at night when all was quiet and he could pick up the sweet softness of the land. A flock of birds glided overhead and ignored Rozoth sitting at the highest branches. There had not been detection of any kind for several hours so Rozoth felt it was necessary to grab whatever food was left in the spoil bags. He took one last look, scanning the trees left to right and crawled spiderlike and quick to the eart

`OfOneSoul says:

We here at #Authors-Club are proud to award First Place to ~PhillipTobias for their piece, HEART-AND-DAGGER. Not only did it exude exemplary story-telling but it boasted pure originality on a rather disused and often forgotten subject matter concerning the Tolkien universe. Orcs are sort of the underrated characters of Tolkien's novels - but this tale not only delves into their psyche and what drives them, but also a rather interesting game that keeps you guiltily entertained until the very end.

Second Place goes to -

~graphite-master for their piece:

The Wiles of a King Deep within the stone halls of Mirkwood, a solitary elf stood motionless before the throne, his figure thin and tense, his mouth pressed tightly in anticipation of disaster. He held a carved staff of wood in his right hand and a half-eaten pear in his left. On his head was a flitting little bird that had decided the solemn creature was indeed carved out of stone, which would have offended him to no end had he not more important matters to mull over.

The butler of the elvenking stared intently at the vacant throne. Someone was missing. Someone very important was missing.

Then, with a sudden cry that sent the bird shrieking into the air, t

*KathraW says:

This piece's imagery I found exceptional, making it easy to be pulled into the fictional world easily and naturally. The use of italics builds the emotion, while the story itself is solid and reasonable. Truly a deserving piece.

Third Place goes to -

*DamonWakes for their piece:

The Fourth Ring-bearerThe goblin turned, eyes squinting into the gloom. He had heard a cough: he was sure of it. And yet, as the silent seconds trickled by, he began to think that it had perhaps only been a fish jumping in the pool. He stooped down with his bucket, but hesitated for a moment before bending over the water. Slowly, thoughtfully, he pushed his torch into the gravelly floor and took the long knife from his belt. There were stories about this place...lots of stories. Clutching the knife tightly, the goblin began to fill the bucket.

There was a hiss as the lit end of the torch flopped into the pool. Pale eyes and an outstretched hand lingered in the go

=amour-raven says:

I delved into this story like I do any other, but as I read I became aware of the wonderful imagery that the literature produces. I followed through until the very end - the majestic scenery and personification of the characters is marvelously flawless - and was sitting on the edge of my seat during the attempted kidnapping...as well as a majority of the text. The dialogue is imaginative and seemingly accurate. Kudos to you, my friend. This is a wonderful story and well-deserving of being amongst the top three winners.

Our Three Honorable Mentions go to
_{(in no particular order) -}

*Great-Lord-Dread for their piece:

The Goblin: An Unexpected JourneyIn the waning years of the Third Era, The War Of The Ring drew to a close. With the One Ring destroyed at the hands of Frodo Baggins, the lands of Mordor were emptied after the battle at the Black Gates, but something happened then, that no one intended. The battle was survived by the unlikeliest of creatures, a goblin, Garzaht of Mordor.

"Urgh, get off!" the scratchy voice said from beneath a heap of bloodied orc corpses. With a rustle one of the bodies was dislodged tumbling down the side of the pile and hitting the ground with a sloppy, bloody thud. A hand reached out from under the mass, pushing limbs aside and clutching onto whatever so

`OfOneSoul says:

The Goblin: An Unexpected Journey by *Great-Lord-Dread is probably the most humorous of all the submissions. Short and sweet - *Great-Lord-Dread tells an interesting story that keeps you going until its rather abrupt, hilarious end. It has certainly deserved it's place amongst our Honorable Mentions.

~LalaAdanwenB for their piece:

Crowning a StewardCrowning a Steward

Pippin stared at the tree ornament on the shining, brightly polished armour. There were little blossoms engraved into the steel at the tips of the branches, which had appeared like a bit too much embellishment of the old, gnarly tree growing in the courtyard, to Pippin when he had first arrived in the White City. But now the ring had been destroyed, the old tree bore blossoms again, and (most important) there were regular meals again, that didn't feel as if the end of the world were near.

And today – Pippin had almost forgotten what it was like- even the sun was shining again. A perfect day for the return of the kin

*KathraW says:

This was such a touching and unique story. I couldn't help but to admire the feel this piece gives you with both the imaginative skill and the heartwarming dialogue.

*Meeoko for their piece:

The Dwarf and The Ring WraithThe creature was late.

Checking the position of the sun in the sky, Pacsa heaved in a great lungfull of pipe weed through his pipe before looking back at the entrance to the village. Instead, the old dwarf let the gentle rays of the sun beat down upon his cheeks, savouring the silence, knowing that soon, everything would change. He had arrived in the sleepy little village not long ago and seeing the bustle of smiling townsfolk, Pacsa felt a momentary pang of guilt, knowing that very soon, their peaceful existence would be jarred completely. The dwarf took no comfort in the thought, but it couldn't be helped. Soon he would come.

Suddenly, he

=amour-raven says:

Fear and uncertainty crept throughout me as I read the story, the haunting contingency remaining with me until the last word spoken. What a stunning and unexpected twist in the closing. The dialogue and imagery is flawless. Unique and exceptionally majestic, this story drags the reader in and keeps them pondering until the very end!

Congratulations to all the winners!

As I said before - there were several truly, amazing pieces that certainly deserve more attention. I would like to thank everyone who entered as well as thank =amour-raven & *KathraW for making it through this thing with me.

Take a look at all of our magnificent entrants who certainly deserve your feedback:

:thumb354381387:

GollumThe dark waters lie silent. No wind to ripple the surface, no current moves the waters underneath. This is the end. No way leads out, not even for the waters.

This is how it has been for years uncounted. The darkness and the stillness of the forgotten places at the root of the world. The pale fishes swim, and eat, and die, and nothing ever happens.

Nothing, until the sound of naked feet breaks the silence, flapping on bare rock. Soft flesh against hard stone. The waters stir, and ripples run across the still waters, from the edge and to the walls of the cavern on the other side. There they stop, and cannot go further. A voice hisses, and th

Against the WindA/N: This is a fan-fiction about Beorn from The Hobbit

The moon rose over the lonely crop of rock. The Eagles used it by day as a common landing post, sharing hunting tips and important news of other creatures. That day they had gone to nest after a long day of hunting, leaving the great black bear to sit alone. Not even the Eagles dared to rouse him from his pondering, and they willingly shared the space with him. He sat, the moon the only witness to his lamenting.

He didn't like to linger on memories lost, and the Bear didn't remain on the Carrock for long. Before the moon was in the middle of the sky he had climbed down and to st

Lay your head down The odour of blood was already thick in the air when I felt myself being pierced with a blade. I was surrounded by countless of corpses, many of them still warm. I fell onto my knees, unable to ignore the acute pain that was quickly extending through my body and the warm feeling of blood falling from the freshly made wound as the realisation that I had failed to protect my uncle hit me. I had failed. I had failed to protect him. What would happen now? Had we come this far for… this?

I felt my body hit the ground. “N-no” I muttered, as I tried to get up without any success. I couldn’t fall here! I still had things t

My Dear Friend Alatriël drew her bow and readied herself by Ori's side. She loathed to kill, but for him the elf would do anything. The doors were still barricaded, but they were trapped, with no way out – she would not leave them, any of them. Ori was close to her, she could feel the fabrics of his clothing brushing across the few inches of exposed skin above her ankle; the movement reassured her, he was alive and that was all she needed. Her bow was drawn back further, amber eyes narrowing on the huge door.

“Are you well, my friend?” She uttered, casting a glance down at the dwarf.

There was little more than a mutter in response

The Mirror Cracked'A blazing wave devours white shore,'
The poets muse on Feanor,
While they should wish him nothing more
Than swiftly falling ash.
In reckless words we forged our fate,
In white-hot script for cracking slate,
Each syllable the world's weight -
But gladly were we crushed.
I saw blood in the soft sea wrack;
Each sea-elf dead a mirror's crack
In our own faces staring back
From all the noble slain.
In Dior's blessed and empty face
I searched for us but found no trace.
The mirror shattered. Only grace
We bear no more stared back.
The waves closed over Elwing's head,
Dissolved the Light that silver bled
Into a face that held no dread;
So different from ourselves.
Not princes now, nor kings, but thieves,
And reckless as the falling leaves,
We take the Jewels and my heart grieves:
For all the world is stained.
For this the final Doom we bear:
In blood spilt red as Nelyo's hair;
The golden Vanyar lying there
Dead, even as our hearts.
The living Light is agony;
A shining, sharp finality:

OF THE UNTOLD FATE OF THE BLUE WIZARDSHere follows an account of the first two Maiar to be brought into service by the Valar to conquer Sauron, the Dark Enemy

From the beginning of time, even before the coming of the elves, Arda, a world of great beauty, was plagued by evil. Its beauty was its curse, for even as the Valar, the great nature spirits of Valinor, fashioned the many wondrous resources of that world, the evil, powerful and covetous Vala, Melkor did seek to destroy all that he could not own or control. The nefarious designs of the Dark Enemy relentlessly plagued the whole of Arda and threatened its future, for he was more powerful than all the race of the Ainur.

The Begin of An Unexpected JourneyFire.

It blazed out of the once so beautiful kingdom of Erebor, with a thick dark cloud circling and adorning its mighty snow-covered peak almost like a crown. How ironic.

The city of Dale was destroyed. Houses had burned down to ground and the dead were beyond counting and salvage. The sickening smell of burning corpses wafted in nostrils of the dwarves of Erebor and the remaining villagers of Dale. Despite the horrible sight you could not turn your eyes away, because your feet were practically glued on the hill-sight.

Your home, the kingdom you were proud to serve, had been burn down and reduce to ashes. To nothing.

It's my time to shine!

My name is Kimberly Leffel and I am an artistic hobbyist. I draw because I have some skill and enjoy learning new things. I am mostly a writer and am working on several novel projects, including: The Wanderers, Drowning Sirens, The Abandonment, Sundown Ranch, & Destiny's Wicked Games.

When it comes to writing I hope to make a career of it... all it takes is one day at a time. For a long time I forgot about DA, but now that I'm in a stable living environment, have an amazing boyfriend, and plenty of artistic time, I can get back on the bandwagon.
