Flowers in The SandDo you recall the day?When, at the tides' edge we stopped to lay?In the sand, the wisping sands,Those bodies there, we put to stay.I visited that place today,To see if those bodies were there in place.To my surprise I found the spotMarked with flowers of a morbid sort.Lilly blossoms lined the graves,While o...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Fear of death: 8 of 58
There is a cove,A sheltered Bay,To where, they say,All the weathered fishermenKnow the way.I once requested a tour,Only to be told,That by years, I was not yet old.That someday I may learn the way,Though it may be to feel its waters' cold.I did not understand why,All those who knew the course,Speak of it only in a hushed voic...

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Does Ron Paul have a chance in the Republican primaries?: 8 of 17
Ron Paul, to me, is like JFK must have been like to his generation. I am a young voter, and never in my memory has such a truly inspiring man taken on the task of running for president.

My DearI saw you,In a dream, My Dear.In a dress of white you stood,Upon a sandy beach, though where,I am not sure.I watched you,Watching me, My Dear.For that moment, eternity,Till you smiled, dipped your head,And turned to leave.I heard,As you went, My Dear.Whispers of songs on the wind,You sung, a mellow tune,Though I could ...
