Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Morning: 9 of 125

Morning Sitting waiting for morning to come, Listening out for the singing birds hum. Dreaming while the darkness is torn, Watching as a new day is born. It's safest when the world is asleep, Nothing can hurt you not even skin deep. The shimmer of freshly fallen dew, As night breaks and day shines through. No reason to fear ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Walking in the fog: 22 of 104

Looking ahead I see nothing, Looking back I see nothing, Nothing but the tiny clear space in which I stand, The only tiny bit of light that stops the fog from touching me. I take another step, A step into the white surrounding mist, I breathe in the thick moisture of the air, It settles in my lungs like morning dew, I walk a...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Who I am: 83 of 339

Who am I? What is life? Where does it lead? Why are we here? Who am I? I don't know. What do I want? What do I need? Where will I go from here? Who am I? I don't know. Who are friends? Who can I trust? Why are decisions so hard to make? Who am I? I don't know. Where do I stand? Where will I fit in? Where do my future and des...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Night: 100 of 279

Lonely night. Night is when the world sleeps, Night is when your mind leaps, Night is when the darkness creeps upon you. At night every noise you hear, Brings on your most deluded fear, At night you shed a lonely tear of sadness. Night brings on another nightmare, And only you can truly care, When you wake up to that ghostly...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Horror: 75 of 208

Was Mary's Myth a real life horror or just an exaggerated ghost story? There were rumors for years about how she had been a hit and run victim,apparently her ghost still wonders up and down the dark overgrown silken way searching for her killer. I remember reading articles in the newspaper, she had been spotted 11 times in t...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Asking why: 23 of 60

Why, why, why?-I'm baffled. *Why do people say the alarm goes off when really it goes on? *Why do shops state that their closing time is 8pm when they don't let people in after 7:40pm? *Why do we say "They" say this and "They" say that? Who are "They" ? *Why do parents always send their kids to the shop when they are perfect...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Premonition: 4 of 10

I must of watched this film at least twenty times. I am not used to seeing Sandra Bullock play this kind of role because I have mainly seen her in comedies. But she played her character brilliantly without dispute. Premonition is that kind of film that grabs you from the beginning and grips until it ends. I think the twists ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The unknown: 50 of 122

The Ghost of a Crying Girl. I shook as she cried her distressed tears, Then woke with a ringing in my ears. I heard a girl crying inside my head, And I slowly emerged up from my bed. She seemed hurt but I was scared, For a night like this I was unprepared. When I hovered to the living room, I saw her face as ghostly as the f...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Adoption Why adopt from China?: 1 of 2

Well why not adopt from China? I have read and researched into this an awful lot and some of the things that happen to Chinese children is appalling. I read about something called The dying rooms, which is where thousands of baby girls are left for dead in these smelly damp rooms. Now ask yourself this, What is the point of ...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: On dreams: 21 of 39

This is my own interpretation of a reoccurring dream I have, But it also contains an interpretation from an on-line dream expert. I compared the two interpretations and this is what I came up with...Do you agree that I'm actually a bad person or am I just being paranoid? Answered Question Subject Bad Nightmare Question Last ...
