Bitter RevengeStill pity holds a spoon near my mouth
With revenge in it, bitter and black
Still pain teaches me dark languages
With whom I'll need to fight you
Still shame hangs my red clothes on the line
Which I will wear that dark evening
Love is locked up inside the attic
Vengeance dropped the key in it's mouth and licked her lips.
Bitter Revenge by justayne
Suggester said- I think that the main reason why
I want to be featured is that I'm still quite a new poet
and I want for more people to see my pieces
and help me grow as a writer.

MSC #6 - PushkinIn the desert grew the flower's decree,
For the Lord had ordained its fate to grow;
Never could I have had dreams come to me,
That the bloom of spring was calming to know;
I have never seen a desert rejoice,
But here I was now left to make a choice:
To be a part of this celebration,
Or step aside in my dedication
To observe nature's ways from a distance.
Be neutral and not take part in wrong ways,
For what had led to coming of dark days
Was Mankind's crime: It sought in repentance
That the desert flower which will blossom,
Shall live long enough to see kind autumn
MSC #6 - Pushkin by Chezzy-Am
An exceptionally crafted (underrated form of)
sonnet. Filled with vibrant language, it carries
a particularly philosophical message.

On Friendship you see, haikus are
just like friends
one must count
on them
but sometimes
they lie
On Friendship by AlwaysRainCheck
Per the suggester: "A little bit of
cleverness and a surprising amount of depth."

Parmi les ruines(English version below)
Cachés parmi les ruines délabrées de leur Terre natale,
Éclairés par le sombre ciel apocalyptique.
Des immensités de dévastation, à perte de vue.
Les deux âmes se battaient pour survivre, ardemment,
Affrontant l'amère et triste réalité de ce monde déchu.
Les cieux lourds n'osaient les punir d'avantage.
Une lueur d'espoir vint alors à leurs esprits agonisants,
Capable de redonner vigueur et couleurs à la plus affaiblie des roses.
Quand ils le virent, ils comprirent aussitôt, comme une évidence.
Une vie valait le coup de se battre pour elle. Pour ce moment;
Cadeau d'une nature meurtrie par l'avide bêtise des hommes.
Assis sur les décombres d'un banc d'ébène, ils se demandèrent...
Le coucher de soleil avait-il t
Parmi les ruines by WhitePlumFragrance
What would happen in a devastated world?
The poem deals with two dying souls fighting
to survive and to live in that destroyed world -
full of hope and courage. Face to face with death
they notice the beauty of the sunset
which they have never noticed before.
