Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A wink

He winks at me as if he knowsJust what I mean, but otherwise showsNo outward sign of what was said;He just lies sleepily on my bed.I talk as if he could reply,He stares up with those golden eyesAs if to say, why must you speak?Why can't you just let me sleep?His tail he curls around himselfAs I move on, to something elseHe wi...

Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) Your most meaningful family traditions
5 of 348

I've got the bowl of candy by the door, and a bowl almost as big on the counter in the kitchen. The water is boiling, and it's almost time to put the pasta in the pot. The phone rings, and it's my mom. "Any trick-or-treaters yet?" she asks. "Not yet, I'm making spaghetti now," I answer. "Yeah, I've got mine ready over here, t... More..

Education > Primary School (Other) Should public schools ban Halloween parties?Smallicon
2 of 42

Anytime anything is the least bit controversial, someone comes up with the idea to ban it. Instead of banning Halloween parties in schools, why don't schools do what they are supposed to do, and educate children?Even if you yourself do not believe in a holiday, there is no shame in learning about the culture or peoples that d...

Relationships & Family > Family Life Our family's most unique and unusual autumn tradition
2 of 42

Every Halloween, my family serves spaghetti for dinner. No one really knows why the tradition got started, except that my Gramma Zell used to do it every year. Maybe it's because all of us grandchildren came over to her house, and it was an easy meal to make for a lot of people. We never thought to ask her, and now she's gone... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Together

Green glitter spilled across the floorThe night you asked me back into your lifeIt left a trail, like your footprints on my heartYears earlier had made.I'd waited eons for that moment,That forseen fate you'd had to findWhile I waited, silent, with the secret,Always knowing you and I were meant to be.

Relationships & Family > Relationships & Family (Other) Relationships: Falling into the trap of being fooled by those we love
1 of 16

The one person you should be able to trust is your mother. Even if there is no one else on your side, your family are the ones that are supposed to be there for you. They're the ones that are never supposed to screw you over- or so it should work, in a perfect world.The oldest of three children, I always felt close to my moth... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Snapshots

Only in my mindExist the still-frame shotsOf picture-perfect memoriesThe best moments of my life, and the worstAre not captured on filmBut only in the snapshots of the mind's eyeAnd the lenses of the heart.I see you, years younger, and smilingAnd her hands, work-worn but gentleI see the love of my life wrap his arms around me...

Arts & Humanities > Ethics Being good vs. being religious
4 of 40

There comes a point in any spiritual journey where one must admit that there is no real way to know what the truth is. This is the basis of the idea of Faith, which is- or at least should be- the basis of any religion. I went through this journey and made it a point to study a vast number of religions. What I've found is that... More..

Relationships & Family > Family Bonding Telling stories as a way of improving family communication
1 of 9

In terms of human existence, it was not so very long ago that the only thing to do for entertainment, especially in the winter, was to gather around all the family members and tell stories. It was a way of passing down history, of amusing children, and of giving them roots. These stories told where you came from, what your an... More..

Every day we are faced with thousands of decisions, some of them simple, and some of them far more complex. Some may be trivial, like what color shirt to wear or what to eat for breakfast, while others are profound decisions that have the potential to change large portions of our lives. Sometimes, its even hard to tell which ... More..
