Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dragons: 8 of 102

I walked the streets at night. I walk, silence dripping from every corner. Foot falls echo. There is not light. I turned when I thought I heard a a growl and there before me was a dragon of the night. It had no wings, none that can be seen, its eyes a sinister gleam. It smiled a smile, a terrifying smile, its teeth, long wit...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Remembering loved ones through cooking: 4 of 31

It was one of those moments that you really would not try to remember, but definitely one of those moments you are sure you will never forget. It was during one of those days where I had no homework, school was out for the week and being the dutiful(whipped) teenager that I was, I was ordered to go to my Gran's house to 'che...
Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters Motorcyclists should always wear helmets: 7 of 54

Helmets are used by motorcyclists to protect one of their most important body parts, the head, within which resides the most important organ within the human body, the brain. It is with this organ that people should use to see reason as to why motorcyclists should, indeed, always wear helmets when they are riding, even for s...
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Getting it right about Islam today: Jihadists vs. peaceful Muslims: 4 of 18

At it's golden age, the peak of its power, Islam was well-known as a religion of peace, tolerant of the other two main religions that co-existed within its society (Christianity and Judaism). Islam's tolerance of other faiths stood in contrast to the Christendoms of the West, which were stiff, rigid and ruled by the church w...
Religion & Spirituality > Islam I want to get a better understanding of Islam. What can you tell me?: 10 of 35

'Islam' literally means 'to submit' and it is this act of submission to God, or 'Allah' in Arabic, that is the basis of the entire religion; to submit wholly to God's laws, to believe in His existence and power and to love and fear him, for He, above all else, within the Muslim mind, is All Powerful and All Knowing. Islam is...
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Analyzing whether the Muslims world has reason to act as they are towards cartoon publications: 1 of 3

As a Muslim, I see reason behind the reactions of my brethren when they reacted strongly against the publications of those cartoons and as a human being, but as a human being, I am saddened by not only the violence that took place but also the fact that the cartoons were, themselves, first drawn and, worse, published. I unde...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: War in Iraq: 52 of 138

Woe should not have rained On the streets of Haifah and Baghdad Where children once played Where families stayed They had no shelter, no walls of steel From the approaching storm that could not feel Nothing that could hold out for long Against black hatred, a thousand times strong Only years later did they knew what was wron...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Poetry is . . .: 91 of 191

Poetry is a block of stone It can build palaces It can stand alone Poetry is that silvery mirror It shows you beauty and truth It shows tears and horror Poetry is a calming wind It soothes and moves Where it ends, it begins Poetry is that feathery bird It flits with wings It heralds spring Poetry is what winds sing What bird...
Food & Drink > Ethnic & International Foods Why England is not known for its cooking: 11 of 21

I have been to England for a ten-day study trip once and as a Singaporean, who eats, breathes and drowns in a plethora of Asian and Western cuisines (Singaporeans have a known habit of discussing where to eat dinner...during lunch), I was looking forward to trying something distinctly different. And boy, did I get it. Not to...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: This thing called love: 9 of 17

I will wait for you A thousand more years I will still stay true But I doubt my body will last that long A false promise, I know it's wrong I will search for you A thousand more miles I will walk to see you But my limbs will wane Though my heart will remain True, my heart is true Let the moon swallow the sun Let North turn t...
