Sweeney Todd's #razors
giving people quite close shaves -
don't recommend it

[michael @hartvlar]

That #razor-sharp wit
charming and entertaining
rare to find these days

A #razor-sharp mind
How I wish mine to be, yea
Like the dead poet's

[DeRicki Johnson @derickijohnson]

I’m chased
By shambling corpses
All gormless
& insane

My used-to-be
Neighbors
Now make Lunch
From human brains

I improvise
A weapon
I pray won’t
Bring them pain—

A #razor scythe
To take
The heads
Of the walking slain

I practice
A perfect arc
As zombie wife
Complains…

Without my #kettle.
oh I could never be, no.
I just love my tea.

#Kettle's boiled, relief.
Tea is an elixir I...
I now drink alone.

[michael @hartvlar]

And then my #kettle,
old, yes - but reliable.
makes me the best tea.

Rosemary #soap scent.
Olfactory memory.
Her sweet, distinct smell.

I stand at her grave.
My fingers #comb my hair and,
at last we catch up.

#Matchbox. Candlelight.
Nostalgia under starlight.
Memories of home.

The grim warrior –
with his most #unabashed smile,
at the sight of her.

@fizzyfizzytwiz Thank you Fizzy!

[michael @hartvlar]

She was quite #stunning.
She tried to change time itself.
We couldn't save her.

Cameras blinked out.
#Apprehension. Confirmed. Yes.
Friend or foe – all gone.

In came the order.
#Apprehension. No choice. None.
Bombs rained from orbit.
