Sinister: the future's orange - competition results

[Charlotte Hall]

     I have been in agonies of indecision about the winning poem. There 
     were so many brilliant entries, I wish I could have picked you all 
     (sob). I hope to be able to post the rest to the list or put them up 
     on the website with the permission of HoneyPaul. But in the end there 
     can only be one winner in the category of "best poem" and here it is. 
     (The winner of the "most comic" will be posted tomorrow.)
     
     Thanks to all who took part for your valiant entries.

     I'M JUST A LAZYBONES
     
     As the sun rises, and stains the sky orange,
     I curl up in bed, dreaming smells of porridge
     And toast, and letters.
     
     Sunbeams skate over dusty air, their pure full
     lips kiss my eyes with arterial purple,
     So I turn away.
     
     Icicles drip, waters plummet and run the
     Race with leaves over the roof. It's the month 
     Autumn's falling asleep
     
     But buzz, buzz -  I'm waking up.
     
     I slide out from the bed into my silver 
     Trousers. They make me smile, so I kill the 
     Alarm, and get ready to pull the day into shape.
