Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life's journey: 56 of 307

Poetry: Life's journey This is a poem about life's journey, And this can be really very funny. I began life as a female, Drat, why wasn't I a male? I like being girlish, But the guys are so brute-ish. Some say "Girls are inferior", Even as they're saying "Come hither." Just because my hair may be longer, Doesn't suggest I mi... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When you look at me: 58 of 309

What will you see, when you look at me? The girl I was, or the woman she meant to be? What of the time, gone, over-and-under that bridge? Remember the one, where we met our first love? Will you like the woman, the girl wanted me to be? Dreams were her vision; maybe still are. Lifelong pursuits, she knows she'll go far. Knowl... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Anger: 90 of 403

Anger is not a friend of mine. I have faced anger, many a time. Anger makes some people sick. But then again; anger makes some people tick. Give me anger or give me calm? Please! Give me calm. Friend or foe, what's to be? Foe is not what I want for me. Give another one the madness. As for me, just give me gladness. Anger can... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Facing death: 86 of 361

Facing death: Oh, yes, I have. Beyond the daily dangers found. Flown from the truck, on that impact! There I went, right out the windshield. Lost my memory, just for awhile; Thank you, God; you let me live. Many times I've fought with death. No, it's not my time just yet. Times I've known; and times I haven't. Comes the sile... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Birth of a child: 17 of 70

March was the month, ninth was the day; nineteenth anniversary; a well-planned day. Older two children tucked safely away, having fun with more children for this special day. No shopping, no going out to eat for this very fun day; No eating for me was well-planned you could say. Hubby was helpful; helpful and cheerful! Sat r... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Feeling lost: 177 of 720

Life itself can come with a cost. Like in a room full of people, feeling lost. Years go by so very quickly, not only illness can make you feel sickly. Isolated throughout your life; treated unkindly can cause abominable strife. Children may come along, or maybe not; makes you feel better, may help your lot. Time can not heal... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Excellence: 2 of 7
Excellence, how I strive to meet you. This mundane existence makes it quite a distance. Excellence, meet me somewhere in the middle. How far must I travel to get inside your limits? Life complicates, and eradicates. What can I do to erase mistakes? Moving tons of dust cannot equate. How you make me linger in one such state! ... More..

Correct word for this situation: The Man, such an innocent! Loved me so dearly; what a laugh. I had a nice friend; her husband friends with the Man. Not good enough, he found a Different friend for me. This one had a husband, maybe friends with the Man. I'm guessing not, from what I was told. They came to visit, such a surpr... More..

How can I live without those three little words? Tell me you love me, only if you mean it. Only if I want you to, not just out of sentiment. Show me you love me, take the time to care. Openly express with words, what the feelings mean. Tell me you love me, Sweet, Not if it's not true; keep it to yourself, If love is not for ... More..
