Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lonely boys: 1 of 43
Sonnet XXIII (If Cradles Are Our Ships)-A sea more perilous I ne'er did see,That tossed and threw its waves like cliffs of stoneWhich loom above and teeter with a groan,Then fall and set their flailing tendons free;The foam dispatches hulls and leaves debrisTo float in frightful calm and roaring drone,Before the fragments of ...

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Why we make mistakes: 90 of 236
A mistake is just a certain scene gone wrong. While we cannot shoot a take again, we can look back and think, "Ah, no, that really wasn't what I was supposed to do." There is a certain mistake we fall into sometimes, and that is dwelling on mistakes that we have made. That is one mistake that we can perhaps avoid ever making.... More..
Other Why did the chicken cross the road?: 13 of 33
Because in his body is an organ called the the Via Transere. Now, I shall have to explain this, unless you are an expert in poultry - in which case, stop reading now. The Via Transere is an organ only found in chickens. It is found between the lungs, located around three centimetres from the heart, in most cases. It is slight... More..

Arts & Humanities > Horror, Mystery & Suspense Discussing The Graveyard School: 2 of 3
The Graveyard School I think should be expanded to the writers Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. The latter was famous for his macabre setting and theme. His poems were drenched in depression, sadism, immorality, among others. The 'graveyard' is a constant theme, which came initially from the Gothic period of writing, t... More..

Pyrrha-Underneath it all you've got theCurves of a marble Aphrodite,But not the pall; you're tanned,Leaning lazily with your hipsExpressed like a livid wasp sting;Vividly, like a French accent.Your skirt is too ashamed toCling fast to your legs, hangingIn gentle modesty just aboveYour knees. The sweater youWear lovingly cares... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Should Britain keep the Falklands and Gibraltar?: 10 of 12
Yes. Britain needs to keep some of its spoils as memoirs of better years. Hong Kong, New Zealand, America, India, China, South Africa, Australia, to name a few, had belonged to Britain for a long time before they were given back. Besides this patriotic photograph album, there are real reasons. Most of the inhabitants on both ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Our interpretation of God's image: 12 of 14

Obesity, for example, is worrying, and it is not beautiful. People can do something ... More..
