Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Relationships: 22 of 416

I do not know what happened but I am sorry I miss your banter and thoughts that come after dark It seems you have slipped away into the shadows Deeper than where you hid before In poetic charm I try to call you to tea To tell me stories of the people you see I wonder where the lights come from Somewhat familiar yet very unkn...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: People who inspire us to pursue our goals: 3 of 33

I am a writer and a photographer. In the world i find many people who inspire me to pursue those goals. However, my biggest inspiration is my wife. She is my muse and she is the one who stands beside me and encourages my work. She also inspires me with her strength and most importantly by her faith. My inspiration does not s...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Life: 17 of 142

I sat waiting for a certain phone call, one that I hoped for with great anticipation and one that I also awaited with great dread. It was about nine thirty a.m. and I had been awake since about four a.m. It had been a very restless night, just one of many that I have spent since childhood. My life had been filled with things...

If I could capture God's refrain Which is shown to me by heavens grace With angels dressed in black and white Dancing about in the moonlight I have but one moment to pull it all into view Before it is dashed out a made into something new A childs wish upon a falling star Shrouded by dreams from cast from afar My heart crosse...

Entertainment > Television (Other) Should drug commercials be banned?: 2 of 11

When I consider this question I have to answer yes. The reason I stand on the side of yes isn't for the reason most people I think would aim for; my reason is higher drug cost to consumers. The cost of advertising is astronomical. If a drug company runs a magazine ad, they have now spent thousands of dollars on that ad. If t...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The top 10 things you want to do in your life: 28 of 152

When I look at this question it reminds me of the Bucket List in a sense or many of the other movies that have been made where this subject has been touched upon. I am taking the approach here as I write that I have no limitations placed on me that would prevent me from accomplishing my top ten lists. Let's begin. 1) I would...
Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss Mortality and individual thoughts on death: 2 of 10

One day I was thinking and this came to me. Our parents are our most influential teachers that touch our lives. My parents taught me many great things but for me it seems that someone else I know is my greatest teacher. They walk with me through life and guide me toward my most authentic self. This should be the first rule o...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Suicide: 99 of 448

With a thunderous scream...AWAKE! Deals made with the devil while sleeping Unknown voices whispering in the dark Pills covering the bathroom floor Blood running down a forehead Wrist slit deep into the pain of the soul Creaking rafters of a plan untold Planes and trains and automobiles.....SMASHING! Notes scribed while takin...
