I have been tagged by the gracious @heavenseraph Yes I really do enjoy these tag games so thank you for the tag friend ♡

* Favorite Color(s): PURPLE!! It’s so wistfully mellow and pretty.

* Last Song (I've listened to): Pennies From Heaven (Remastered). A beloved bop that I should probably re-listen to again because it’s a classic and it’s been a while.

* Currently Reading: Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I always love books that take in unique perspectives such as animals (Black Beauty and Call of the Wild; from what I’ve read) or prospects such as the afterlife. It’s always intriguing when the afterlife is based on what culture, belief or experiences from life the protagonist has.

* Current Craving: Chicken Cutlets.

* Coffee or Tea: Sugary tea with the occasional milk in it. I like coffee but rarely drink it compared to tea.

Those I have summoned to thee tag games are @bebe-benzenheimer @binnieceo @xlntwtch2 @pan9materialgirl @prettyhighforawhiteguyblog @donoteattheelderly @ghostttf @amethiosspouse @pizzar0lls @stupit @emokingkillian unleash the sirens…let the games commence!

Fail Forward

Hey everyone! So this is totally different than my usual. I was reading "How To Be Me (a slinky)" by @xlntwtch2  (on dA not Tumblr) little while back and well... turned into a funny conversation there of what if someone wrote a "slinky" with some really difficult word (slinky is supposed to be a sixteen line poem where one word is repeated on each and every line). I chose "Eiffel Tower", mainly because I thought it would be very interesting to write something with Eiffel Tower repeated over and over again...     I wouldn't say this is my best work, has the strangest rhythm with Eiffel Tower repeated over and over lol, though I took some liberties and cheated a bit  It was lot's of fun to write though actually, turned out better than I thought, and I decided to make it even more interesting by well... making it a bit of a double acrostic as well Enjoy! -Phnks

Fail Foward

The shadow of the Eiffel Tower bent Heavy the glare of Alexandre Eiffel's tower, though Eiffel Tower has but quaint purpose ...but purpose BUILT-the Eiffel Tower's iron stands still... Emancipation of my own creation only Eiffel's towering visitation came I, as Alexandre's namesake had lost my Eiffel Tower: veni vidi vici Friends proclaimed, even now Eiffel towers above myself Flung from the Eiffel Tower losing my iron ring in that shameful jumpoff Everyone ran from my aura to the fair Paris grounds of the Eiffel Tower's make Leveraging lethally my love's languish, I laughed, leaving Eiffel's towering level ... A champion created countering Eiffel-towers threaten that trained theatric... Today no delay, I shall climb above Eiffel, towered bewilderment Onward! I'll catch my own iron ring from this Eiffel Tower. No Was Eiffel's tower wrought as he wore that same ring? He was no such fellow Eiffel's towering construct was born through will alone, no pointless symbols did he own; perhaps we misattribute Rings of iron are made not given, proof in Alex's ambition: the Eiffel Tower
