;)Wanderer, Thank you a lot ..n as u said, I like not one, but two more maybe, lol.

::BRAVE HEART::

Ever-pumping lucidity,
fastidiously fluidic,
yet religiously fearful,
Frail and pale-Heart of white..

Jerking earnestly and intuitively,
Jolted not by any flirting advances,
Ever confined and never crossing,
Either a hard wall or a spongy soft boundary,
Even ignoring an adhering
Lucrative neighbor so intimate–
A yellow queen cynosure-heady, pithy n deceitful!

Ever an enigma is the
Never-fused confused
Non-fiction of…

Egg yolk and white.

::BERRY-MAGIC::

Berries so soft and long,
Reddish hues to dark purple,
Lip-biting juicy and supple,
You make a great jam or a tart,
And sure, a daily spread for my bread too,
Your hearty leaves are the sole fodder,
Or rather a soul-food dearer!
To those fatty white voracious worms,
grown for fibrous spun precious cocoons,
Magical berry tree true you are,
Silken thread is what you give,
Neither Blackberry nor Blueberry,
You are my favourite MULBERRY )

Hello

I always hate when people say Hi,
Cause shortly after it's followed by Goodbye.
That constant feeling of no one staying,
And those smiles always feel so betraying.
Hello is such a grim word to me,
And I understand why you might not see.
But Hello possesses every possibility,
And then follows Goodbye which brings back reality.
I guess that's why I can understand,
The forever rolling, empty sand,
And how lonely it can be,
When no one wants to say Hi to me.
I hate the word Hello, I really do,
I am being honest and completely true.

Hi you all. Forgive me for choosing a winner a week or so after the deadline. That doesn't say much good about me, does it?
Well, you see, the truth is, I haven't been on here for a while now. Do forgive me...

Most of the entries deserve a trophy! 
I read in earnest and I must say, I enjoyed the diversity in all the entries.
It saddens me that the competition has ended and I wouldn't be seeing more entries like these ones so I decided to open another competition just like this very one, same instructions, same everything! 
It would be open for a week. Have another go if you please.

I settled with Rachel for this one after much deliberation because her entry was spot on, unique and it surpassed others by a hair in mine eyes. 
Thank you all. Your participation was duly appreciated and I hope you all enjoyed writing these pieces..

Regards,
Wanderer

Wow! I am surprised. I certainly don't envy your hard decision. There were so many great entries. Thank you so much for the win and congrats to MrA and skinnyjean for runner ups. :)
And thanks for a fantastic competition!
