Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pets: 1 of 159
Softly Brown and silvery gray.Hopping in circles, your eyes asking for play.Your eager little grunt, is all I need to hear.As I put down my art, you happily perk up your ears.It's cute, the way you like to wrestle.One might mistake you for a dog.You lunge just like a crocodile, and grunt like a little hog.I rustle your muzzle...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Listening: 1 of 41
Listen To MeListen to me, pleading eyes say.A little heart, filled with pain.Silent tears, as much as rain.A little soul, left misunderstood.No matter how big, on the inside you feel so small.No matter how you wish they'd try, many don't seem to listen at all.The world is so busy, and the hurry doesn't seem to stop.A moment s...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Self-improvement: 1 of 29
NamelessTell me love, why do you despair?I see you with your head down.Your face hidden by your hair.You seem to have everything, I hear them all say.So what makes you give up on life?Why do you feel this way?It's everything in my head, she said.Then continued,All these memories.No matter how hard I try.No matter how many hyp...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Loneliness: 20 of 579
Darkness, why do you so engulf me?It seems as though I'm in a dream.As if none of this is real.Sadness has swallowed up my life.No longer can I feel.I hear silence, through all the noise.I see emptiness, through the crowds.Stinging pain fills me, and I long to cry or shout.I open my mouth, but it seems strength has left me.Fo...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Gratitude: 1 of 23
In gratitude, I write.For you have given me gladness.Your small act of kindness, has made my heart feel light.You, who opened the door for me, when my hands were full.You, who gave me a seat, when you noticed I looked faint.I felt I might soon fall, it's true.I just wanted to write this note, in gratitude to you.Thanks for sm...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When you bury me: 2 of 35
When You Bury MeI want no crying..no sadness, from any of you.Your bright smile, is the only required attire.I want you to view the ceremony, as not a funeral..but a celebration..of long awaited passing.Though your grief, for which my tormented heart bleeds..please breathe for me..a sigh of relief.At last, I got out. Be happy... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Spoiled: 1 of 17
"Spoiled"..in a trailed voice, she whispers.Her eyes fixed on a woman..with giggling daughters.Singing happily, they laugh, as they chase one another.. in play.Safe and warm must be their nights.For carefree, are their days.Nurture and love, they unmistakably display."Spoiled"..I hear her whisper.Her eyes now in a daze.I mist...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cutting: 2 of 31
One by one..the minutes creep by.In darkness I sit, as I hopelessly cry.Cutting into my arms, with this little blade.It makes me feel better, to express my pain.A little scratch here..a knick or two there.In hidden spots..not just anywhere.Boiling over..there's too much hurt to talk about.I cut, though I long to scream and sh...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Father: 9 of 128
Father, I think to myself.My mind draws a blank.You speak to me of a kind and loving man.I wonder what it would've been like.When you were frightened, he held your hand.I try to put myself in your shoes, as you speak.I see and feel everything, as if I was truly there.You explain for me, all the little details.Still, I have no...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: What If . . .: 4 of 50
What if?What if although my hurry, I held the door for you?Would you feel a little love?Would you forget for a moment, the coldness in this world?Would you strive to show a little kindness, to those around you as well?What if I offer you my spare change, when you're in a bind?Will you do the same, for someone else at another ...
