A note from us.
Please keep in mind that just because you PICKED the word, it doesn't make the piece about you, rather, it is for you.
And sometimes a four-letter cuss word is the best adjective, noun, verb to use. Please don't be offended, and if you are, you don't have to read our blog.

Dragonfly. Shantell's Pick.
I really am not a fan of dragonflies, I think the bar hoppin tramp stamp girls ruined them for me. So Shantell you are lucky to get this!!!- Shannon M.
Dragonfly.
It was summer.
The heat was paralyzing
And all I wanted to do was swim.
We laid there under the sun
for what seemed like hours.
Not saying anything.
I just watched you from the side.
I switched winking my eyes,
focusing on your...
nose.
ear.
nose.
ear.
nose.
your profile the horizon to the setting sun.
We sat up to watch two dragonflies mate.
"I think it's cool they can fuck and fly"
We just looked at each other with a grin
and went home to try.
-Shannon Masayo
Dragonfly
Send the pigs in for the slaughter.
I'm indecent and stoned like Saudi Arabian daughters.
Don't ever question my honor.
You burned the bridge long
Before I crossed muddy waters.
If you've got something to say,
Say it or stay away.
'Cause I'm sick of the slight of hand and charades.
Bored of the parlor tricks and board games.
I dragged your snake-charmer through the streets
Drove a stake through his spine and watched him die.
You expect this serpent to sprout wings and rise.
Always the optimist, you wait to see the dragon fly.
-Tylor Sherman
