Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Being trapped: 1 of 115
My feet glide me through a path that steers,The trees, I can feel there leers.I crouch to hide as someone nears,My head swells with fears.To scared to cry out my eyes filled with tears,No one even cares or hears.As I fall and hover on the ground,My feet feel as if they are bound.I crawl very slowly, creating no sound,And hide...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Want: 3 of 47
A WISH IS FOREVERI see an aquarium filled with fish,Swimming frantically space is their wish,Much the same as a bar filled with people expressions in each face.They each have a wish, a desire for space.A crowded street or subway, wishes they all share,A desire for themselves, but no one to care.No matter the race, the ideas a...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A night to remember: 3 of 20
Night For LoveIt's a night for love, I feel it deep inside.For my wants and needs I cannot hide.It is a night to run forever free,Where we are alone just him and me.I long for his warm embrace,And to see the love in his face.To feel those lips, that I know best.The moon so bright and high in the sky.The feelings in my heart b...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Our future: 1 of 5
TURN THE WORLD AROUNDA gentle wind, a warm summer breezeA rustle of tall elm trees.The unappreciated sounds of a summer night.In a world now entangled in fright.Why have people become so rude and hard?Peoples history and feelings marredA stone thrown at each passer by,A snide remark or roll of the eye.We sit in judgement day ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Ending a relationship: 67 of 300
Wanting You BackWhen there is something you want so much,Like to feel the gentleness of his touch.What can you do when your so unsure?If that gentle touch can be,.. for you pure.You gave up what was a hurt in your heart,And found it hurt more to be apart.I have tried to find that gentle touch elsewhere,But always return to th...

Arts & Humanities > British Literature The universal appeal of Harry Potter: 14 of 37
Thank God for Harry Potter. It has brought me and several people I know back to literature. I had not read a good book for a long time. When I heard the rave reviews about Harry Potter, well, I went out and bought the first book. I could not put it down. I started reading it aloud to my family, we all got so involved in it, i...

Politics, News & Issues > Trash & Recycling The cost of recycling: 5 of 12
The cost of recycling in Colorado, zero, zip, none, nothing.....So why isn't everyone doing it. I don't know about other states, but in Colorado the local grocery stories provide bins for recycling. One for paper, and one for the other items, glass, plastic and tin.It is so fast and easy. I keep 4 trash cans in my garage. One... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should the US continue to honor Columbus Day?: 11 of 25
Absolutely Yes! We are simply honoring the arrival of Columbus to the Americas.It is sad that every race finds a fault in one holiday or another. Rather then protesting we should find our own days of honor. The opportunity to join together and celebrate such a holiday should never be disgraced with fights orparade picketers. ... More..
