semicolon
subdued
she slumps– silently sober
salt streams sting, sliding south
sandpaper sighs. suffocating staccato.
society’s sommelier, sipping shame
sunken, smokescreen smiles.
sovereign of saffron slashes
scrubbing scarlet spills.
she shatters – skeleton sanctuary
stolen shoelaces. scuffling socks.
shackled specimens. solitude sisters.
secreting scheduled serotonin,
she sings – satisfaction sans salvation
stashing silver skylines
semi-resilient, semisolid, semisweet
[semicolon]

The Symphony of Love
One evening, as they strolled hand in hand beneath the starlit sky, Ethan paused beside a gleaming storefront adorned with dazzling jewelry. His eyes alighted upon a breathtaking set of ornaments – a necklace, earrings, and bracelet – each adorned with intricately carved silver vines and sparkling diamonds that seemed to capture the very essence of Sophia's beauty.

The Abominable No-Meatman
So, I had an idea. I was wondering if Pennywise the dancing clown went vegan because he wanted to befriend humanity, what would he eat? Would there be food options for him, or would he have to starve just to be put in a better light with us humans. So I’ve created a special restaurant and menu just for him. This way, if Pennywise were to become vegan, he wouldn’t have to get creative with his dietary choices, I’ve done it for him. I’ve taken the work out of going vegan on his behalf! Here is a special restaurant and menu I made just for our friend, Pennywise!
