In the heart of Rome, where shadows lie, A city within a city sighs. Its walls, they whisper secrets old, Of mysteries hidden, stories untold.

Tyrannosaurus Wrecked
Introduction The entire idea from this poem is taken from the book "The Roaches Have No King" by Daniel Evan Weiss. My last challenge entry was going to be my final one for this challenge but Dharrsheena wanted me to do this one, so you know i can resist anything but temptation.

Dinosaur Town
We called it Dinosaur Town --a cookie cutter, quintessential little borough where anthropomorphized predator and prey lived in harmony.

Beth and I are the right fit for each other. We click and enjoy the same things. And she has a wild, kinky, erotic side. Which I thoroughly enjoy. The second time we hung out we made passionate love. She scratched my back and let me pull her long red hair. As well as saying Yes Sir, as we fucked roughly. For a younger woman of 31, with two kids. Aged 5 and 9. Petering out for a meal ticket and a pat on the back, that is not well-deserved. Just another psycho bitch I have picked up in my shattered life.

When all the oceans we have crossed, And every shore our feet have lost, What lies beyond the waves so vast, In uncharted realms, our sails cast?

Denelsia WalkerPublished 3 days ago in PoetsWhat were some incredibly idiotic ways in which Russians accidentally died?
From bizarre accidents to downright foolish decisions, Russians have found some truly unusual ways to meet their demise. Let's explore a few of these stories. π€¦ββοΈπ·πΊ In 1989, E. Frenkel, a self-proclaimed psychic, believed he could stop vehicles with his mind. This genius stepped in front of a freight train to test his theory and, well, let's just say the train won. ππ₯ A shift manager at a nuclear facility in 1968 improvised a plutonium purification procedure, disregarding safety protocols. His actions led to a nuclear chain reaction, resulting in his death from radiation sickness a month later. β°οΈβ’οΈ In 2000, a jealous husband in Khabarovsk attempted to get revenge on his cheating wife by rigging a homemade bomb to her lover's apartment. The bomb exploded prematurely, killing only the husband. π£π€¦ββοΈ Construction workers and factory employees have suffered gruesome deaths due to lack of safety measures and training. Incidents involve being pulled into drilling equipment, lathes, and even a poultry processing machine. ποΈπ Even thieves aren't immune to stupidity. One small-time crook broke into a disabled man's home, only to get his testicle crushed by the man's crutch. The thief was later found unconscious by the police, probably rethinking his life choices. π₯π΅ Sergei, a chemistry student, believed he could create a potion of immortality by consuming small amounts of poison. He eventually died from acute cyanide poisoning after consuming too much. Guess he should've paid more attention in class. ππ Social media has led to numerous deaths in Russia, with people attempting to take dangerous selfies on tall buildings and structures. The government even created a campaign to discourage such behavior. π€³π The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has resulted in a staggering number of Russian casualties, with reports of soldiers making poor decisions, such as replacing body armor plates with looted MacBooks. Guess they thought they could stop bullets with the power of Apple. ππ Even Russian oligarchs and prominent figures have been dropping like flies since the start of the invasion. It's almost like holding power in Russia during these turbulent times is a bad idea. Who would've thought? π€π°

Reckoning
I wake fighting waves of water Escaping with your daughter Sea lapping at our sides As the compass needle glides Beneath the dark expanse of night
Christy MunsonPublished 3 days ago in Poets Elegy for the Unsung Minstrel
Elegy for the Unsung Minstrel In cobwebbed corners of forgotten archives, beneath layers of dust and faded ink, slumbers the spectral verse of an unheralded bard. Their quill, once a conduit for whispered dreams, lies now brittle and still, a testament to a life uncelebrated.
