I make words using things
like pen pencil computer
sometimes prolific
sometimes a neuter
Really liked Blippy's, just wish it had stuck with the reductive haiku thing (went 5/7/5 4/6/4 3/5/3 and then 2/2/2, which is where it lost me)
When was it 2/2/2?
And the award for Curse MVP goes to...
Change vote. You're right, misread a line. Yeah, okay. I loved the concept and thought the poem nicely reflected the concept. changed vote to ilvaldi/Blippy. Is that allowed?
Oh hey, hadn't noticed the whole Primary Colors thing. Wrote it in three sittings, so while I only meant to use the R/U/Y to depict fireworks, it kinda spilled over.
For the record, I voted for ilvaldi. (Sorry, kind of getting the type-out-vote memo late ...)

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan

Blippy takes this. Didn't even pay attention to the syllable count the first time I read the poem; it was the furthest thing from a distraction.
Liked Zelderex's but the red/blue/yellow palette threw me off.
