A second attempt at "Give It 100!Open in new Window., since the first one ("100Open in new Window.) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.

30-Day Image Prompt.


Ten paces is a mile in a knife fight
but you've got something bigger.
Your aim is to close the gap with
the clap of an angry trigger.

This isn't fun anymore.

The moderator says "Draw!" like
we're equals in an equal setting
but the only one keeping score is
the last person with the loudest yelling.

This isn't fun anymore.
It hasn't been for a long time.

The final scene in the movie closes
and you've had me where you want me.
As the credits roll it's not enough;
you're determined to either
         finish me or complete me.

This isn't fun anymore.
It hasn't been for a long time.
When you draw down on me with darkness
I'll fight you off like light.

30-Day Image Prompt.


The day's so good you wish it would end
on your terms soon
just to say you've made it through
unscathed for a change.
Anything can happen but you're
most afraid it's gonna be you
pulling yourself back into
the puddle of your life...
don't try to jump or it'll
own you.
Are you ever really complete without
completely fucking yourself over?
Intentionally or not,
the rain doesn't care if you're ready
for it and puddles aren't concerned
that you can't swim.
May as well close your eyes and
run as fast as you can
if you're gonna call it another day
alive.
