Cool thread. I'll have a go, don't really know if I can make it...
Write something about a smooth flow, in a lake, how those tiny fish glide, in its ecstatic glitter, how the opal prides, Words are my business, I live by their side, I hope that someday, this yields results wide, and when you read it, I hope it engrosses your each stride..
Okay I tried, it isn't even half as bad as I thought it would be, but the rhyming was kind of dorky.
|| Some write for themselves,some write for fun, some write for others, some write to learn, I do not write because I only can, I write so it makes me hu-man ||

Between washing the dishes before I go to my lecture I'm making an attempt (I will be doing your prose challenge when I get back, dearest Lex ).
To J...
You are like a fish, Smooth, shiny, scales of personality. You are like an opal, A jewel from out of the dark dust. You are like a telephone, For yielding friendship from afar. You are like an old film, Engrossing me in your rich melodrama. You are like a bandage, You care for others' business. You are the good in all; Because you're you, Because I love you.
I hope J... will like this, I poured blood, sweat and dishwater into it!!

As smooth as a fish, As bright as an opal. One little wish, Was all it took – from this gal.
In my mind you engross, Sublime images that yield. Seductive they are the most, But my heart it couldn’t seal.
When I call you on the telephone, I must compete with your work - your business. That is sadly and hurtfully known, As well that I am jealous.
But still…
Body as smooth as a fish, Eyes as bright as in opal. One itsy bitsy wish, Was all it took – from this gal.
I TRIED MATTY! Whether this is good or not is irrelevant the fact that I tried is most important. Hm... why didn't you have Bum in there somewhere? Would of came out much better, on my behalf anyways. I went for silver, second best.
