Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Death of a parent: 2 of 38

Lydia was careful to shut the kitchen door behind her without making a sound. It didn't make much of a difference. Her father already knew where she was going. Everyday it was the same routine, and everyday it tore him apart to see her leave. It only took Lydia ten minutes to walk to Grant Cemetery. She paused before the ent...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Silence: 14 of 181

White- Walled Room Here I sit Beneath a great willow tree Just the voices in my head And my own heart beat No assulted senses No false judgements passed Just the natural breezes, forever seem to last Others would find it lonely But in time I have found That submerging yourself in silence is the most rewarding sound My mind i...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Betrayal: 42 of 382

I might be just a pawn but that makes you just a crook and in the end you'll wish you could give back all the things you took. It might seem like it's me who is hurting but you'll never know pain like this again when you wake up one frigid morning and realize you've lost your only friend.

Does the Apple iPhone, which includes music, Internet, and telephone capabilities, sound too good to be true? It shouldn't.

Why I Write My sister's college days saving plastic sour cream containers drinking spirits from that "fine china" at 3 AM I raise my nine-year-old right eyebrow slightly higher than the left. She says "what's the point?" Her roommates break the stemware I want to follow on this righteous path My college days picking up a few...
Sports & Recreation > Running Best warm up exercises before a run: 1 of 3

Running is a fantastic way to get in shape or simply de-stress. Beginning runners often make the mistake of trying to stretch immediately before a run, but they are missing an important step: the warm up. Warming up before running is more beneficial than simply stretching. Stretching cold muscles can actually result in injur...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Imagination: 47 of 128

Artist's eyes Colors of a lucid dream. A green the shade of envious eyes. Blue so deep even angels would move quickly to covet. And an implement of sorts with hairs plucked from a mare, swift to give to the cause. Blank canvas before me. What shall it be today? Should I dare to mix a color so bold, that if seen in a dream th...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Confessions: 25 of 51

Confessional Go on angel, recite your laundry list of sins Waiting to demolish distance Between your soul and heaven Reach hands towards the sky Catch the drifting dreams Companions to the clouds Bow your head for the departed Remember the ones who paved your path With sweat and tears Tears that fell from above Forming the p...
Sports & Recreation > Running What to drink when you run: 3 of 6

A common misconception when it comes to hydration for athletes is that only water is necessary. In actuality, there must be a balance between water and sports drinks containing electrolytes, potassium, and magnesium. When the body perspires for an extended period of time, large quantities of salt (electrolytes) are lost. Whe...
