He is not long, he is not shortTo cause concern, he'd not resort,His hair is combed, his skin cleanHe always smiles, he's never mean.When the sun is out, he tans his skinWhen the cold is out, he best stay in,He needs no gang, no group nor clanHe is only one, and that a man.He reads the Times, the Journal tooThose pretty poems...

I just finished meeting my third match from the LoveMatch site I joined last month and it appears the feeling was not mutual. What I mean to say is, I definitely felt something, but from the pained expression on her face when I asked if she'd like to meet again, I could sense she had other plans for her future, and none of th...

Isn't the best way to die-suddenly and without knowledge of it? I think of Kennedy and the way he died. Granted, it wasn't perfect. The first shot (fired by Oswald himself) went through the President's throat, causing some momentary discomfort. It was only momentary because the second shot (fired by an expert marksman not far...

Mountains look good in snow.Muscles rippling white under the yellow sunGazing at the heavens who gawk backIn admiration of their creations cooing:You are the best we have done. More..

I have decided to find a short cut from my house to the big park. I've gotten tired of waiting for my parents to buy the new car they say we need to get to the park. They keep telling me that the car we have is too old and would never make it that far. Actually, the park is as close as the other side of our block, but we have... More..

Manning the Younger had just two minutes and a few seconds left to take the crown he felt was rightfully his, but several yards of land patrolled and defended by a vicious king and his great army stood before him. In truth, no one gave Manning the Younger a chance in hell to accomplish this great task, except perhaps for Mann... More..

In one ear, out the other.It was such a clean shot, that he actually looked at me for a split second before blood exploded out of his ears and nostrils and onto my new khaki pants.

-You need more description, boy! Description, description, description! It's like location to real estate-there's no there there without it.-But I always felt the reader could supply his own description-the visualization of the mind's eye...more powerful, don't you think?-No, boy!

-Why I need a girlfriend- I've always considered myself an independent sort, some might even use the term "cuss" with independent, but those who know me well know I simply prefer freedom over any sort of ongoing commitment-be it bill paying, the monthly rent, or women who expect me to call them at designated times during the ...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Family

It's said we can't choose our family, only our friends. But what if we did have this option? What if, before we even set one bare naked toenail in this god-forsaken world, a family of our own choosing was here waiting for us-one we would not only love as a family, but actually enjoy being with as we might our own best friends...
