“I took hold of that scourge -filled ship and crushed it between my limbs, hurtling it into the second sun, the red one that gave me strength. But I was too late." Terraformer

This year we had two pictures to choose from to set your words to. I loved reading all the entries and watching the pictures come alive. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, you are inspirations.
1st Place Allana Lopez
Oh Maiden Fair
I remember thee, Oh Maiden Fair;
Golden locks frame starlit cheeks.
White hands clasp in front
Of shimmering silks
Rippling upon the lake breeze.
I remember thee, Oh Maiden Fair;
Celestial light radiates pure
from your heavenly soul.
Your light splits the dark,
And the Universe marvels at your grandeur.
I remember thee, Oh Maiden Fair;
Your longship glides
through languid waters.
As sure and as true as the stars, it
bobs along the tides.
I remember thee, Oh Maiden Fair;
Set upon your voyage,
Oh, my heart cries!
Mourns for you, Oh Lady,
For I will miss you dearly
My Maiden Fair.
2nd Place Kylie Benavides
My Beautiful Angel
My beautiful angel is coming soon
Please let it be before my final demise.
I close my eyes and picture her silhouette,
White against the wall of black that surrounds her.
My dreams are filled with thoughts of her.
She is so beautiful, so precious, innocent.
I know it is my fault that she came here
And I just want her to understand my sacrifice.
The guardians will accompany her
That of which I am thankful and nervous of.
I am not deserving of my beautiful angel
But time will only tell if I can ever truly become worthy.
3rd Place Mykala
Solitude
The goddess like girl sails across the river of solitude. She struggles with the loneliness that envelopes her. Especially when her entire world is dark. However, to everyone else she stands tall like a warrior off to battle. Leading her solders across the river to their destiny.
4th Place Jordan Myers
Death’s Wife
5th Place Anuradha Das

I'm Shara, a wife, mother, bargain shopper, and I love to critique everything from food to mascara. I'm a sister of Colleen who lives in the desert of Arizona. My favorite time of day is when I pretend my kids are asleep upstairs, and I can catch up on my favorite shows with my handsome husband. Once Upon a Time, Dr. Who, Mythbusters (husband's choice), Big Bang Theory, Sherlock, and Castle. I turned 40 but feel around 30ish, and wonder where the time has gone. I love new clothes, new make-up, new food, and anything new to try out and critique. It's not mean, I promise, I just really like to figure out how to make things better :-)
