The Counter Attack (Part 1)

January 30, 2013 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

imageThe plan was to head over to Fucktard’s for the evening. His mom picked me up, and then later she stupidly left me alone with him. (Dumb ass bitch! I don’t understand parents; they think they’re helping and encouraging their kids to have some romantic time by leaving them alone. It’s the worst thing anyone could do considering it’s us — somebody usually almost dies every time.)

Fucktard attacked me! I was having a glass of water and eating a banana when he started throwing boxes at me until I fell down and my glass shattered everywhere. I was on the floor lying on a bunch of glass, and then Fucktard came up to me and took my banana out of my hand, while laughing hysterically at the sight of me squirming around on top of a bunch of glass shards. He started throwing pieces of banana at me. He put banana in my hair, and between my toes. I should have expected this. I had been caught off guard, I had gotten lazy, and I had little slivers of glass in my arms and hands. As I struggled to get up he flung little pieces of mashed up banana into my face.

The Third Annual Wordsmoker Valentine’s Day Love Contest

January 29, 2013 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

It’s that time of year again folks. You know, the one where we get inundated with orders to express our love for our significant other on one certain day, usually in the form of food/jewelry/chocolates, and if we don’t we are to be forever branded as commitment-phobes? Yes, Valentine’s Day, that’s the holiday! Yay, the time has come to once again squeeeeeeeeze our way into our Spanx and go out with all the other boobs attempting to show their unique love at The Melting Pot. Luckily for you, we here at Wordsmoker HQ sympathize, so to help dull the aggravation, I am happy to bring you The Third Annual Wordsmoker Valentine’s Day Love Contest. (Wow that sure is a mouthful.) From now until February 13th at midnight (and probably a little bit after) you can submit your Love, Sex, or Valentine’s Day themed poems, rants, stories, opinion pieces, et cetera for consideration. Here are the rules: Read the rest of this entry →

The Second Annual Wordsmoker V.D. Love Contest Results

February 16, 2012 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

I detest Valentine’s Day. I know that there is a religious significance to it—something about Cupid dying for all of our sins—but somehow that’s all lost in the sea of red foil, sparkling pink lamé, and workplace one-upmanship. I host this contest in the hope of reading a pure, concentrated form of anti-love vitriol, the likes of which the world has never seen.  However, this year, most of you, with a few exceptions, seemed to want to pay homage to the old-fangled emotion of l’amour. Well, that’s not against the rules; it’s just a little unrealistic and you should all know that you’re still vulnerable to romantic destruction. My advice is to get your next relationship tragedy over with soon so that you can live out the rest of your days as a bitter cynic. Read the rest of this entry →

Another Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2012 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

It’s just a stupid Hallmark holiday, she told herself. But she couldn’t make herself believe it. Too many stores filled with too many displays of silly stuffed animals, insincere greeting cards, and heart-shaped boxes of overpriced, second-rate chocolates had worn down Wanda’s resolve. She knew that if a suitor had come calling, any of these items would have been enthusiastically received. Read the rest of this entry →

An Untitled Poem by Glimmer Hope

I would rather converse with angels

Having such a captive audience

 

I could grow old waiting for your love

Oh wait, your affection is past tense Read the rest of this entry →

I Wake Up Thinking Of You

February 13, 2012 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

i wake up thinking of you
of the stolen times we had
before mornings wakened blue
before we sleep-walked into bad.

i lie and close my eyes as
past tears fresh through my head
loss is discovered anew
torment comes to bed.

i wander back in time
remember your sweet walk
when days were fine together
when we talked big life talk.

that freckle on your bottom lip
is sun-kissed on my mind
from your hips, hair voice and hopes
is a distance I can’t find.

i sometimes wish for the phone
and think of promises we had made
like today, when I’m open, alone
i wish a better hand was played.

V.D. Love Contest Reminder

February 13, 2012 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

For fuck’s sake, people, this contest is about love—an emotion that some of you allegedly possessed at one point in your lives. The final hours of the competition are winding down. I have four prizes and three entries, one of which is ineligible. I am literally figuratively pulling my hair out here. I will be accepting entries until the end of Valentine’s Day (midnight Tuesday). If I don’t have a quorum by that time, I will do something desperate, AND NONE OF YOU WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT IT. Let’s just say that I’ve noticed the average liberal’s aversion to animals having their knuckles smashed with ball peen hammers. (Conservatives are usually okey with this). Seriously though, I’ll probably just write or do something grotesque. Read the rest of this entry →
