Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Home for the holidays

As I sit in front of my computer many things come to mind. Like the fact that I am broke and that it's christmas time. The kids have made their lists and what they want doesn't come cheap. As I read the words they wrote all I can do is weep. For this year there will be no presents. Probably not even a tree. Because I am out ... More..

Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who portrayed the Joker better: Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?Smallicon
1 of 7

"Wait until they get a load of me!" Those were classic words uttered out of the lips of no other than Jack Nicholson. He was and will always be the joker. He was truly right for the role. Who else could take such a sinister, and unpredictable character, and turn him into a work of art but Jack Nicholson. Don't get me wrong H... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public areas?Smallicon
21 of 105

Why shouldn't women be allowed to breastfeed in public areas? Don't babies need to eat when they are hungry? We get sandwiches when we are hungry and we can eat them everywhere. So why must baby have to wait or have to take a bottle in public? It makes no sense. It's not like women are just pulling out their breasts with the... More..

Country is in trouble Many out on the streets. Depression and sadness rock many to sleep No help was in sight And no shoulders to weep; Can you hear them crying? I hear the crying. Obama's here now to lend a hand We can rise above this. Yes we can. We'll help our neighbors thru the drought and our Lord God will keep watching... More..

Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Sex, Love, Relationships: Knowing what you want
6 of 20

There is a famous poem in 1 Corinthians that states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does envy, it does not boast , it is not proud. It is not rude , it is not self-seeking , it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Handle with care
39 of 128

My heart is like a fragile child so please handle with care. It's like a glass vase, when it hits the floor it breaks. I pick it up and dust it off and wait and wait and wait. For the one who can read my tag "handle with care" and do what it says. More..

Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should "deadbeat dads" face jail time?Smallicon
7 of 21

I think "deadbeat dads" should be put in solitary confinement with pictures of their kids all around the cell walls to remind them what they are in there for! Any man who gets pleasure out of making babies and not taking care of them I have no pity for. If a man has kids, regardless if he has been put up for child support or... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Problems Parents Face Be proud of being a good single parent
1 of 3

I wasn't always a single mother. I tried the marriage thing, it just wasn't for me. I think it was just the fact that I was married to the wrong person. My husband and I got together when we were 17 and 18. We had our first child when I was twenty years old and then two more followed. I don't know what happened, but after we... More..

Relationships & Family > Siblings When your sister turns her back on you
10 of 26

My sister and I left from our hometown ten years ago. I was 21 and she was 19. I was running from a mentally and physically abusive husband. She was running from our mother who was really getting on her nerves. As I remember back to those days I really don't think I could've made it if my sister wasn't there. Even though thr... More..

Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) Is real beauty on the outside or the inside?Smallicon

Beauty. What is beauty? If you look it up it says beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object or idea. It provides the experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction. If it is only a characteristic why are so many of us so obsessed with it. Some of us will butcher our faces and bodies in order to acheive it, but t... More..
