Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cancer: 1 of 95
He was lying, motionless on the bed, Tubes extending from his nose and head. And even in sleep, he was troubled by the pain. Dad, ..."Don", ...I stood over and whispered his name, Not wishing to wake him, but afraid not to try, Not wanting to show him the tears in my eyes. And on that dark afternoon, rain falling outside, I ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Imagine life without: 2 of 109
Imagine life without......imagination that glance,that nod, that hesitation, would have simply been just that, I would not have turned to watch you go, Imagining your smile was just for me, And now, the pitter patter Of rain upon my glass would not be whispering "I love you, I love you, I love." As I hold you in my arms. Ima... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Is it against Christian principles to judge others?: 1 of 35
The question "Is it against Christian principles to judge others?" implies a certain element of judging "motives" Most would agree that we have no rights to judge the motives of any one. This type of judgement remains G-d's alone. But, we do have the right, and moral responsibility to judge the actions of others. Without this... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are people inherently good?: 2 of 69
My view point is being expressed on the "good" side of this debate simply because I have faith in mankind. Simply because I believe, if given the opportunity, people chose good. That someone is born inherently good or bad is starting with the presupposition that "good" and "bad" are definable by something outside of oneself. ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Losing your job: 1 of 18
I wished I'd lost my job,without first losing my mind,I knew before it was through,That I'd leave my brain behind.Sitting eight hours a day,calling o'r and o'rWith a boring script to say,It made we want to snore.I forgot how to think,My behind began to spread,I even started to drink,I hated getting out of bed.I wished I'd los...

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Self reflection: 5 of 72
I haven't had much time for self-reflection. I haven't had time for any kind of reflection to be quite accurate. I don't even look in the mirror except on unique occasions like a hair in my eye or a nose blowing episode gone wrong. Most of my mirror encounters are done in a rear view mirror as I head down the road to work. If... More..
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Romance: 16 of 226
He pulled back his blanket and sat up on the edge of his bed. It was six-thirty on the dot, without an alarm clock. He impressed himself. He took three deep cleansing breaths, as he always did, stretched his arms and the back of his neck to stimulate circulation, and began the rest of his morning ritual. Entering a huge walk ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Why God punishes evil when he has given free will: 7 of 96
God's system of justice is often misconstrued and misinterpreted. There are many religions, and even more theories on heaven and hell, sin and righteousness, free will and predestination. It is my understanding that God "punishes" evil, precisely because He HAS given man free will. Or maybe I should state it a little more exa... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Just so you know: 5 of 67
Just so you know, My peanut butter fudge recipe was my own I didn't check messages on your cell phone. Yes I did wash your socks with my pink strapless dress, But I didn't tell Rick that your place was a mess. Maybe I spied on you one or two times, But when was concern ever a crime, And it was NOT me who hacked into your mai... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The reason you went away: 1 of 9
Yes, I told you to leave, I said You were "not good for me," I wiped my eyes on your sleeve, Smearing masscara, unable to see, That it was not true. The reason you left? I asked you to go, I thought it was right, but I didn't know That my heart would not agree with my head, And I reach for your warmth as I lie in my bed, Wipi... More..
