Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Unicorns: 2 of 22

Some seem to think unicorns are only white, and lovely!What about the browns, and others,Hiding in a covey?Peeking out without a sound, Quietly mocking us from a mound.Hiding away for centuries, Caring for their little ones.I'm sure I saw one the other day, Playing in a field of hay!And to his left I saw an elf,On to the righ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Death: 64 of 693

Poetry: DeathDeath came calling; too soon for this girl,Only 17, already lost to this world.Only 17, just facing this world.The fun she was having; the friends that were hers,The smile on her face, now only a blur. She met up with bad, bad drugs,They overtook her. Out just for fun, not having the knowledge,The drugs overwhelm... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Lack of sanity: 7 of 71
Lack of Sanity: not being sane. A person or persons lacking "all their marbles, so to speak." That's me being qualified by my one semester of psychology, many moons ago. Can you give the name of just one person that is actually sane? Considering all the events going around globally ( you know, all around the world), are even ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Always: 17 of 151
I will love and remember you: Always. (Funny)!Words quickly scribbled into my new yearbook.Simply ruining my new book, was the opinion I took.Stated by the best friend of my beloved (not really) boyfriend.How could he waste this space of mine, with words made to end?Walking away with another boy; laughing like he was playing ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 176 of 1268

Love should be softly,from a man to a woman.Love should be caring,and love should be sharing.Love should only be;when it is sure and strong, for you and me.See how he looks at her? He trusts her completely;she looks back; feeling the same.She knows he will be there when he is needed.He knows she will be there when wanted.Argu... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Loneliness: 85 of 579

Loneliness: No EscapeSitting in the crowded room,Voices mingling all around.Eight hundred people, maybe more;Laughing, talking, shore to shore.Family closing all around,Husband there to be found.Quietly, inwardly, here you are;All alone, in loneliness.People talk, but you don't care.People talk, could be a millionaire.Inside ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Struggle in life: 140 of 915

Life is a struggle from the moment you are born,not like Mardi Gras, someone blowing a horn.Life can be great and life can be fun,for some people sometimes life is a pun.Walk in my steps a couple of blocks,step softly now, watch out for the rocks.Maybe your mother was loving and caring,or was she demanding and not given to sh...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love: 123 of 784

Love is a word to explain,A feeling near sheer pain.Love is the feeling of life,When it's not full of strife.To feel real love,Chase it, for it flies like a dove.Love takes wings, and away it goes,Chase it, embrace it, and it grows and glows.Love is looking into your first babe's eyes;looking back to see the love in your eyes...

Restaurants: hygiene and cleanliness are two of the most important things to consider. Having worked in the restaurant environment, I have a few suggestions you might want to think about.Hair should be hidden beneath a net no matter the length. Even short hair couldslip from someone's head.Gloves should be worn anytime food i... More..

Animal Humor, A Short StoryTwo little poodles. Oh, please don't tell them they are poodles! They think they are my little children.They have two baths each and every week. Did I mention they are both snow-white?My little 'girl' is a tea-cup. She's the oldest. I 'adopted' her when she was six-years-old. That was okay, because ... More..
