Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love humor: 1 of 53

In the confession stall I sat Hiding my teary eyes beneath a hat "Forgive me father, I made a mistake. I wanted to fix it, but now it's too late." "Tell me the story," the priest said. "Well...it started one day when I was lying in bed. I was thinking and dreaming of beautiful white doves... When suddenly, it happened: I fel...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Empathy: 1 of 25

The sun was fading behind the distant hills when I finally awoke. How long had I been sleeping? I raised my head from the grassy earth and wiped the dirt from my dress. The sound of the trickling stream had lulled me into slumber. Had I been missed? I struggled to my feet, still dazed with drowsiness. Then, I was jarred awak...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Domestic abuse: 3 of 70

Intricate weaving of lies and deceit My eyes are the ones you cannot meet Trickery was an ally of you for long Feeding on the weak is what made you strong You are poison in my glass The clock to make good times pass A splinter in my troubled mind Rest and tranquility I cannot find Webs of cheats and deceptions They all confr...

I'm writing you a letter from the deepest part of my heart To understand my meaning you must read both end and start Darling love whom I hold dear amidst the trials Though far away, it is your face I see all the while Do you remember nights of passion and romance? Do you remember how we'd kiss and laugh and dance? It's as if...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Magical creatures: 3 of 8

Twas nighttime that befell the land Cloak of midnight a sheltering hand Stars above twinkled in their indigo sky As the creatures of night flew way high I woke from a lazy, deep sleep I wondered what the clouds did keep As I stared at the full moon above Came spiraling down was a thing white as dove It danced with a grace un...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Unwanted children: 4 of 9

Porcelain dolls and fluffy cats Tea, and cake, and all of that Take me to a place I love Somewhere way up above But it’s only make believe I play with my toys on the stairs But only in reality am I there For when I play, I leave this place Once I’m gone you won’t find a trace But it’s only make believ...

For my critical essay, I will be analyzing the perspectives of Matthew Bramble, and his niece Lydia Melford from the novel “Humphry Clinker” by Tobias Smollett, of London life.
