The first poet we're revisiting this year is Anne Sexton!

If you want a new prompt from her, comment on this post any time in January, and I'll give you a new one.

If you'd rather take a stab at an old prompt, you can take a look at the original sign up post, or the July Challenge prompts from that year.

Let's start the year with some fun!

Title: hold matches at street signs
Fandom: Criminal Minds / Doctor Who
Author:

meroure
Rating: teen/pg13
Pairing: Amy Pond/ Spencer Reid
Content Notice: Content is usual to the both series.
Disclaimer: Nothing is real and nothing is owned.
Author's Note: Amnestied story for the July 2011 Comment Fic Challenge.
Word Count: 3166
Summary:

Spencer Reid is used to tall-tales and improbabilities rooted in truth. Amy asks, "do you believe me?"

And he says, "yes," because he believes that in her mind the tales are real: of raggedy doctors, and blue boxes. Of boys who waited and daughters that grew old.

Day 25:
Out of the mournful sweetness of touching
comes love
like breakfast.

held in your hand by lady_krysis (The Losers, Jolene/Pooch)

Day 26:
The lady of water, rising on the beach,
a piano at her fingertips, shame
on her lips and a flute's speech.

Day 27:
Still, I search these woods and find nothing worse
than myself, caught between the grapes and the thorns.

Day 28:
At last!
she cried out,
and locked the door.

Day 29:
Dearest,
although everything has happened,
nothing has happened.

Day 30:
You do not love anyone. She is not growing a boy;
she is enlarging a stone to wear around her neck.

Day 31:
they both die like waves breaking over me
and I am drowning a little,
but always swimming

they both die like waves breaking over me by trippy41 (Revenge, Nolan/Emily-Amanda, Jack/Emily-Amanda)

Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Agemaki/Zakuro
Summary: Agemaki's a coward, and Zakuro isn't, and that's all there is to it.
Content Notice: None
Disclaimer: No infringement intended, I don't own the series, etc.
Author's Note: My prompt was:
Blind with pain she limps home.
The thoroughbred has stood on her foot.
He rested there like a building.
He grew into her foot until they were one.
The marks of the horseshoe printed
into her flesh, the tips of her toes
ripped off like pieces of leather,
three toenails swirled like shells
and left to float in blood in her riding boot.

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to remind you guys that if anyone needs to post their fic from the Anne Sexton round, the amnesty period will end at 12:00 CST on September 30.

Also, if there are any prompts from July that you wanted to write, this is your chance!

Day 17:
I open the eyes
and they go sick like dogs
with what they have seen.

Day 18:
I sit here on the spike of truth.
No one to hate except the slim fish of memory
that slides in and out of my brain.

Day 19:
I must always forget who one words is able to pick
out another, to manner another, until I have got
something I might have said…

Day 20:
the grass as bristly and stout as chives,
and me wondering when the ground would break,
and me wondering how anything fragile survives;

Day 21:
To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall

Against the Cold by lady_krysis (The Losers, Aisha)

Day 22:
Now you grab me by the ankles.
Now you work your way up the legs
and come to pierce me at my hunger mark

Day 23:
From within the satin
And the suede of this inhuman bed,
Something cried, let me go let me go.

Day 24:
then they leave home on horseback
but God returns them on foot.

from The Fury of Abandonment

Out of the mournful sweetness of touching

from Elizabeth Gone

From within the satin
And the suede of this inhuman bed,
Something cried, let me go let me go.

from Barefoot

Now you grab me by the ankles.
Now you work your way up the legs
and come to pierce me at my hunger mark

Sorry this is late, everyone!

from Admonitions to a Special Person

To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall
