The Seasons of Love'Twas fate that deemed that we would meet,That fine and warm spring day,When hence I kissed your cherry lips,You stole my heart away.When summer's sun shone on your face,My spirits higher did soar,What we had found, I did believeWould last for evermore.Autumnal leaves turned brown and died,They fluttered fr...

Celebrations & Holidays > Valentine's Day Valentine's Day: Does the expense of the gift equal the amount of love?: 1 of 34
The expense of the gift can never equate to the amount of the love expressed, either on Valentine's Day or on any other special occasion, at any time of the year.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Losing love: 10 of 287
Questions...How, when I once was so happy, can I suddenly be so sad,How did I end up by losing, that special person I had,How can a pain insubstantial, hurt more than if I did bleed,How do I learn to cope with, not having she whom I need.Why do I dwell on the memories, rather than looking ahead,Why does my mind keep replaying...

Celebrations & Holidays > New Year's Why New Year's resolutions don't work: 1 of 24
There are some who say that the history of New Year's resolutions goes all the way back to Ancient Rome, when an image of the mythical King Janus - whom the month of January is named after - looking both backward and forward symbolised the start of the New Year.
