Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Finding bugs in the house: 23 of 75
I've never really noticed much of a bug problem over the years. We might see spiders a few times or maybe a cricket or two. It was just enough to notice but not enough to worry about. One year, we were visited by a cricket that rivaled the loudest operatic tenor! We never even saw him. He would wait until we were asleep and ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Chocolate: 17 of 53
There is nothing like chocolate, so creamy and sweet; so rich and so smooth, so lavish, complete. So savory, compelling, it calls out my name. How can I resist? There is no one to blame.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Winter: 68 of 196
It's snowing today. I'm wet and I'm cold. How I hate snow! There's ice on the streets extra socks on my feet. How I hate snow! I'm bundled up tight scarf covering my face. How I hate snow! The wind it is howling, the temperature's low. How I hate snow! Snug and content, Home, safe at last; hot chocolate or cider sipping soup... More..

It was a day like no other day. A day to remember and never forget! The soldier watched as He struggled along the road. His muscles were taut, body strained with the load. I also watched as He stumbled along, pushed and prodded and jeered by the throng. He'd been beaten and scorned and spit upon. He was bleeding and wounded,... More..

Every year in December, I make chocolate candy at work. Since time is of the essence, I like to focus on the quick and easy ones. My favorites are the recipes where you just stir one or two ingredients into melted chocolate and dip out by spoonful. I like to use Merkins chocolates, found in cake decorating or candy decoratin...
