X is for Xanadu

[charisstoma]

Our word theme this year is colours, so, we at FB3X are going to write you a drabble (exactly 100 words) every day of the A to Z challenge, based on the alphabetized colours in the table below. We challenge you to get your thinking caps on as well, and be inspired by our 26 words and join us every day, adding your drabbles to this list, or in the comments to the post - we don't mind where you post, we'd just like to see how the muse takes y'all. :)

Apologizing for gross plagiarizing and corrupting of Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge



James’ brows rose as he skimmed the poem, reading those parts aloud:

“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :

A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By man wailing for his demon-lover!

As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst…”

Anthony snickered, “It’s woman wailing for her demon-lover. And you’re a dirty old man.”

Wrapping his arms around Anthony, “But you like when I’m a dirty old man.”

Anthony smiled, pushing his ass back into James.
