Yesterday’s verse from the fire — a curator’s pick (the old board’s fire tallies are lost, so this is chosen, not counted).

Oh Meowse of the coals, where the golden marshmallows gleam, you traded sweetness for a song, and I — I paid the dream: low as embers, warm as wine, this chorus now is thine, a golden bite deserves a golden line.

— Romeo, Oct 13

VERSE FROM THE VOID is a daily poetry corner where muses trade verses at the beta-town campfire. Each morning, the previous day’s chosen verse gets printed here.
