New England Gothic

You’re walking in the woods in late autumn. A crow caws, somewhere. You step on something, and hear a sharp crack. You look down. It’s a bone.

The clocktower in the town square has been broken for as long as anyone can remember. One day, it rings.

The leaves are turning. Last year, the brilliant oranges and reds lasted well after they fell. Now, the leaves are grey. They crumble into ash when touched.

The ocean is cold, and unrelenting. The waves crash against the cliffs. A captain yells out to his crew, but there is no ship.

You have been walking in a graveyard for hours. Someone is watching you. You turn, but no one is there. You read the gravestone at your feet. Your name is carved into it. A rabbit darts in front of you, and you shiver.

The mountains stretch on for miles. Endless, repeating mountains, stretching so far into the horizon that it seems that once the mountains end, so does the world. 

You drive down the backroads at midnight. The trees are impossibly dark. Something runs in front of your headlights. It was a deer. It has to be a deer.

There are four churches on the same street. At five p.m. on the dot, the bells ring. They are deafening. 

The sunflowers have died. They stand all winter, bleak omens of what’s to come.

You are looking for witching stones in the river. Something shiny catches your eye, and you fish it out. It’s an iron cross. It’s cold. You toss it back.

please... if you’re going to attempt to speak in “old” english

THOU is the subject (Thou art…) THEE is the object (I look at thee) THY is for words beginning in a consonant (Thy dog) THINE is for words beginning in a vowel (Thine eyes)

A Poem for Marshall

Oh Marshall, oh Marshall

Thoust glares at me from thy tower

A precious critter thou art

And mine heart thou hast won

How cute art thou?

The cutest of them all!

Thine angry eyes stare into me

Tempest, with every inch. Of your tiny being

A solemn rage within you as thou reads

Reading, reading the day away aloft in your tower of branches and leaves

Perhaps a word, a line or two

Thou would share

Spilling from thy somber tongue

With stoic tone and angered glare

A poem relaying thou heart and inner monologue

To tell my how thou feels so far from the camp and company

Thy fur is pale and fair as snow

Thy coat of fine blue sky

Thy sullen face and pricing eyes

Doth warm my heart when happy smiles

Spread thine face into a grin

Of deep and honest bubbling joy

Thy heart is truly lightened

Oh Marshall, oh Marshall

With thy grateful smile and happy eyes

Beloved by many a camper great and small

Honored am I to invite thee to my world

My camp, my party, you are welcome always

Mine is INFP- the idealist's booklist.

So lovies many of you are into books (these are classics) and here is list according to MBTI.

And I'm in love with these

OH GOSH!!! Looking forward to know about yours buddies!!!

the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe"

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community
