The Mule
For the Say it Plainly Challenge
never satisfied, stirring up trouble 'cause you can, finding ways 'round
owning that you're not the chosen man. you want to be our superstar
thrown petty accolades, while frequenting gossip with pseudo-
friends you believe you've really made. but they won't tell you the truth,
your negative influence drives us through the roof. you are not so good at
what you do, complaining every single day, i for one am sick of it so
branched off and made my way. your ego is a bully that picks on those who
fail to join your grumpy little party where you whine and wail.
what could be fun and friendly turns sour when you complain, never happy
with anything, you live your life in vain. i think a mule might be easier to
lead up a rocky hill than trying to get you to lighten up, enjoy this life and
feel; happiness is an option, community can be fun, you're really no more
special than me or the other ones.

ROCK*s EDGY WINNERS
See that rainbow? Let there be lots of gold, good health and peace for us all. ROCK is so pleased with your entries; it was tough so I called in a PhD. of Library Science from New Zealand, a well read and published professor of poetry from Canada as well as some random/anonymous readers from L.A., NYC, USA and all the way to Lisbon, London plus other EU friends from all walks of life. I, of course, made the final decision which was extremely difficult. I wish I had the pot of gold to give you all a decent tip!

The Fae King
It began with a girl. Black-haired and sweet and gone too soon. It is the way of mortals to die, of course. Most pass within a few decades, unless they can be tempted away to fairyland and persuaded to stay there. Even then, mortals live only as long as they can go without visits to friends or family that allow time and the weight of years to catch up to them.
