"What's wrong with you Jenna?" Lisa asked. "I saw you two in the hallway." Jenna continued to reach for her History book that was on the top shelf of her locker. "Jenna it was nothing.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My husband: 4 of 64

The depths of my heart that only he can reach Others have attempted, but drowned in the end My soul is captured within the flicker of his eyes With each kiss, a sense of comfort Every glance after that is a secret that only we share His love is abounding and truer than any truth be told "Til' death do us part" and even in de...

Affairs can be forgivable, but not forgettable. The reasons one has for deciding to have an affair are endless. Each individual has there reasons. The only way to fix these reasons, in their eyes, is to cheat. If a person admits to the affair and both partners love one another then they should try everything in their power t... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Encouraging your child's talent for drawing: 1 of 11

My son is 15 months old and I am already encouraging him to draw. I started this about a couple months ago. At that time, I took a plain piece of white paper and taped it to the coffee table, so it wouldn't slide as he colored. I then gave him one non-toxic thick crayon. He looked at it and was amazed. I explained the color ... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Rating Paris Hilton: 6 of 28

Paris who? The talentless wonder of the world. I would rate her talent a "0". If the Hilton family were not rich, she would've never made it into the spotlight. As a model, she lacks exotic beauty. As a pop star, she lacks singing ability. The only reason people buy her designer line is because she is famous, not because she... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Meaning of life: 52 of 195

I was ten years old; playing in the snow in my backyard. I climbed up to the top of a snow pile and slid down. Every bump hurt, but a smile was stretched across my face the whole time. I quickly got up and climbed up the steep snow hill again and again. Every time I met the ground, my mother was standing there with open arms... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Engagements & Proposals How to tell if your partner is ready for marriage: 5 of 11

The only real way to tell if your partner is ready for marriage is if they either said "yes" to your marriage proposal or if they made the proposal. I say this because many couples talk about marriage and their future, but that is just talk without real actions towards the point and goal. The best example that I can give is ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Heartbreaker: 53 of 89

A dreary day in December, you came Whispered love notes that tangled in the cool breeze Twisting my heart into a shape unknown I was captured My stomach pulsated with nervousness You held my face in your gloved hands Kissed me gently on the forehead and walked away I watched the snow drape your knitted cap Snow penetrated my...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Suicide: 33 of 52

I hold the razor in my hand tightly while I imagine the blood gushing from my wrists. I lightly press the blade to my arm and make a slight scratch. I push a little harder while tears run down my cheeks. Melting mascara clouds my vision. I don't feel any pain and look at my wrist. It isn't bleeding. The razor was unsuccessfu... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lost dreams: 29 of 38

A lost dream; like A fallen leaf that has hit the ground Slowly fluttered; without a sound It took so long to plant the tree To watch it grow with much belief Rain swivels down, on now rotting bark As another dream has lost it's spark More..
