This is republished from when I wrote this in July, when James F. hosted the two word challenge, "fifteen minutes." At that time, I included all the challenges from Feburary of last year through July, 2006.
I also wrote one in October, 2006 that included all the challenges from July through October. Join Monica Kennedy's

My suitcase has been dreaming suitcase dreams,
Of feather light, sibling torture,
As the sky is gathering thunder,
We eat with sublime abandon,
My marriage is a wedded lunacy,
All in a night's revenge,
Oh, what a peculiar prelude this is,
To live in eternity's mansions,
With fuzzy edges all around the memory,
I eschew obfuscation,
Preferring clarity at all times,
So saith I to my bottle,
A bottled promise to all,
To replace my coddled insanity,
And to your ineffable chagrin,
I live in abject opulence of my mind,
Oh, better that than to die in icy repose,
Such pure evil this is,
More than a mere crystalline fantasy,
Or a long night's howling hedgehog song,
This is more than tepid judgment,
Love lies in its unwise August affair,
And now all this,
Is my fifteen minutes of fame.
Good grief.

The TWC is simply to include the word pair in a prose or poem article...Any way you like.
This week, Gautami Tripathy offered several oxymoron word pairs for people to choose.
Take a look at the group's pages.

I would post links but I have to go now. I'll fix the code later, too.
Thanks for enjoying this silly little piece.
The Rose-Colored Bottle (bottled promise, two word challenge)
I promise, it is a bottled promise.
Meanwhile, with inclement weather promising a deafening silence, I will join you in the Schnapps.
I see you are in Key Lime Bermudas, King MacBeth Barney.
Thanks for all the comments, y'all.
It is really quite simple. Why don't you try one of these?
Thank you, Anne B. Grote.
Thank you, Heidi.
As always you pull it off like a champ, I'm very glad to I read the things that you write the words flow and they sound so sweet.
Thank you!
