Week 160 - Submit!
I'm sorry to say that since we never received more than 2 icons for Week 159, it has been cancelled. My apologies.
Without further ado, I present a new theme-
Banner idea inspired by girlgamer, who was inspired by psycophant of bssm_battle!
This week's theme will be Neutral Tones, by Thomas Hardy! Your icon must feature at least three consecutive words from the poem. No other text, with the exception of decorative tinytext, is allowed.
We stood by a pond that winter day,
And the sun was white, as though chidden of God,
And a few leaves lay on the starving sod;
--They had fallen from an ash, and were gray.
Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles of years ago;
And some words played between us to and fro
On which lost the more by our love.
The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die;
And a grin of bitterness swept thereby
Like an ominous bird a-wing. . . .
Since then, keen lessons that love deceives,
And wrings with wrong, have shaped to me
Your face, and the God-curst sun, and a tree,
And a pond edged with grayish leaves.
Remember, you do not have to use these images, they are here for convenience.
