Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Visions

2 of 10

RIVER VISION I hide in deep shadows, I slide behind rocks and rotting wood, Not swimming above in the surface light, But slithering along the mossy pebbled bottom Of a brackish brown finger of water off the rivers main current. In unconcerned tea colored swirls It meanders through this early morning meadow. Suddenly the scen... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Gaming humor

WINTER OF A POKER PLAYER He throws out a bet without any fret, like an avalanche down from a mountain Then your blood stops moving around inside, like you're now a frozen fountain. He's Stormy Winters, made of dry ice, with icicles hanging from his ears. Look into his crystal blue gray eyes - they'll bring out your greatest ... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Fishing

FISHING IN SNOWFLAKES Snowflakes on water Cold mayfly wings can't open. A banquet for trout. Circles ring, ring, ring Around rising sipping fish In gluttons heaven. Time stops on the river, I raise my rod with care Lost in eternity My bug drops softly The feather fly drifting In an insect flotilla So many flies to choose, Th... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Senior prom

1 of 3

Prom Night Time for perfume and corsage, tuxedo and joy Music and romance, for a star struck girl and boy A full moon bright night with a black limousine To sweep us away into a magical dream. The wait for this evening was impossibly long It's just now begun; why does it seem almost gone? If I could catch time, trapping it i... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Saying goodbye

172 of 454

My cat went out the window to die last week. Some cold relentless presence invaded his body Not allowing him any peace. His once soft flowing brown and white fur turned Into dry carpet remnants. The fiercely loving presence that sparkled so in his eyes Morphed into a dull glossy stare. The ferociously intense hunter that pro... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Fishing trips

I'm finally going to Alaska! Been dreaming about this for years, collected hundreds of Alaskan fishing brochures featuring hook jawed slab sided salmon the size of a cow! I was so afraid I'd never get to go - I mean how, on my lowly teachers salary, could I afford airline tickets and accommodations for four?! There's my two ... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Dealing with hijackers

3 of 6

Isn't this the 21st century, and don't we have to fill out forms for everything? So, for Gods sake - why should hijackers be let off the hook?! Shouldn't they be required to at least wear an official certified plastic hijacker ID card around their neck? And what about their educational background? We ought to know which hija... More..

So, what are you supposed to do after your retirement nest egg fell off the stock market wall, and splattered like Humpty Dumpty all over the sidewalk?

River Flow Once I rushed like a mountain Torrent through any stream bed I could cut, While my current churned boulders, Speeding along in full spring flood. But now my waterfall rhythm Has slowed. I'm less intent on leaving grooves And furrows in my Frothy wake. When was it that I moved into this Meadow phase and the journey... More..

The Cat Who Saved a Dog Ever hear of a cat defending a dog from another dogs attack?! How about a cat saving an owner from getting torn apart trying to save his pet?! Well that exactly what happened, let me tell you! Biff is a beautiful Maine Coon mix, with brown and white long silky hair and bright green eyes. He was 8 when... More..
