Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Christian: 22 of 276

Prayer for Thanksgiving We thank Thee, Lord, for another year. As we seek our reasons for being here; We ask for pure thoughts. As we seek forgiveness of our sins And embrace the chance to make amends, With pure thoughts, Father grant us clarity So that we may see With pure eyes. Beyond forever, Forsaking Thee never. With pu...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Struggle in life: 119 of 828

Scratch Ticket (the lure of the lottery) Sitting hunched over in your old car, Who in the hell do you think you are? Scratching on dreams in your hand. Find your soul, if you can. Feeling like a hopeless dope. It's getting harder to even cope. Daily numbers and other games too. Trying to get the best of you. No cash for the ...
Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights Backlash by feminists against Oprah's support of Obama for president: 1 of 6

It is ludicrous for feminist to get upset over Oprah Winfrey's choice for president. She has the right to support whomever she pleases. You do not vote for someone, because they are the same gender as you, any more than you should vote for someone simply because they are the same race as you. If feminist are that dumb, then ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nature: 106 of 578

Lilac blossoms are shy But the month of May is bold. She puts on a bright floral Just to taunt the cold. She stares you in the eye And dares you to blink. The lady comes and goes Quicker than a wink. Her sister, she is hot Wearing lots of perfume But May doesn't give a damn Because she's bigger than June.
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nursing home resident: 2 of 10

Anna's Way So many times, I came to visit you; To see if there was anything that I could do To brighten up your day, But you wouldn't answer, 'cause that was Anna's way. At first I talked to you one-sidedly, And most times you would just ignore me. I wasn't sure if you could even hear, But I set aside my initial fear. And ju...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Ending a relationship: 69 of 282

Mid-winter ice pops, Crystal clear lemon drops. Snowmen standing in the cold, Getting dirty, growing old. Too soon to think spring. We'll be waiting until the robins sing, And crocuses put on their show. For this is when we'll know. The secrets that nature has been keeping. While the Earth was silently sleeping, And dreaming...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Facing death: 106 of 336

Death Dances Silver cords and silken strands Just like a puppet in death's hands. Dried out chrysalis, a body deposed Is freedom for the cocooned soul. Death dances for the rich man; The same waltz as for the poor man. Just like a puppet in life's hands. When the curtains rise and the stage is set Take your bow little marion...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Teens Should teens be given a curfew by parents?: 14 of 43

A teenager wants and needs guidelines set by their parents. A curfew should reflect your family values as well as fit within the norms of society. This does not mean that if everybody is staying out until 5:00 a.m. that you have to go along with it too. Teens expect reasonable and fair control from their parents Whenever par...
