Time spills over. Curdled milk slicks the countertop. You're gone. I will let it mold grass green, send spores adrift, to call you home. Sticky dishes pile high. Much sweeter than you. Their syrupy glue will catch you, and hold fast, while I dance around the butcher block. Breath in heaves. Sobs. Can't live like this. Come home! I'll wipe it all away for you, clean the wrong with rags of bleach.

Poetry / 8 a.m.
I'm a big fan of strong imagery and tight, sparse wording. This has some nice images, but I think it could be tightened up a bit (tightening up is a big bias on my part, unless you're kind of stuck in a strict form, so take that for what it's worth). 1st stanza: I love the line "...bound with Sunday chains..." The chestnut hair as a car crash is a nice image, but I also think it's one area to tighten a little -- e.g., take out "is" from that line. I also don't see the connection between lines...

Quotes / Goose Pages
I like this. It's nice and tight, with only six words to work with, and it's a fun, strong image. If I had any talent with origami, I'd have thousands and thousands of these hanging around.
Limericks / Gathering Credits
Hahaha! This is great, and oh so true. I love decent limericks and this made me laugh out loud. Too bad it's not useful outside the context of Urbis :(
Limericks / Urbis: the Limerick
Locked
Finally, a limerick! I'm sure there are a lot here, but this is the first one I've seen so far in this category. It definitely has the qualities I look for: 1 - off color reference 2 - humorous 3 - the right form I like it. It made me laugh.
