Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: We are all students of life: 2 of 20
Puzzling P SaysIn the game of life,we are all mad inventors.Each dealt with an assortmentof mismatched playing cardsand puzzle pieces,virtually no one is workingwith a full deck.There is no perfectionto be had,no completionto be achieved;life is but a messyand tangled journeywe embark upon.With no universal specificationsor i...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Addicted to verse: 1 of 8
Til We Meet Again, My Love One never knowswhen He will comeor where He will go.He sporadically assaults me,causing inspirationto bleed from my pen.My mind is a tool,as is my hand.Exploited for linguisticand creative ability,contorted and distortedfor countless sleepless nightswhen a dry spell creeps up on me.I ache for thee, ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: First impressions: 1 of 7
First Impressions How obnoxious and impudent to think one canpaint a realistic impression of someone.I make no such claims to be a Monet,or even a Dali or Picasso, perhapsmore of an exuberant kindergartenerwith finger paintIt is nearly impossible to etch with muchtruth the incessantly billowing energythat coalesces into a hum...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Concerts: 2 of 6
System Of A Down At The 9:30 Club It's nine o'clock and the lights dim.The riotous crowd erupts intoa manic symphony of screams, hollersand yells. A shadow appears onstage-a tall lean man, head shaved, with a longgoatee. Hunched over, he comes to lifeas his agile fingers ticklehis instrument at a frenzied pace,the thunderous ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Anxiety: 20 of 58
AnxietyBorn to writeall day and night?No such luck is mine, I fright.Caustic words, scathing leersindulge my fears,incite anger and tears.Each breath a struggle,this chest so tight,how I long to live in a faraway bubble,to escape this paralyzing emotional plight! More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cooking: 3 of 7
Just Like Mom and Grand-MamanIt's 3:47 a.m. when awareness slaps me on the cheekand I look down at the sticky situationin which I've yet again landed.A hearty laugh escapesas Murphy's Law continues to stalk me,now mocking my meticulous exercisein chef-like composure.If normal exists, it's my arch-nemesis.Elbow-deep in sludge,...

CursedIf words could flow from my unfurling tongueas freely and easily as they stream downmy arm, wrist and fingertips, sieving throughmy pen's ink onto blanks sheets of paper,I would likely be a lot less shy. On the eveof my 30th birthday, I've given up hopeof overcoming this cursed trait; I've concludedthat shyness is a chr... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Television: 8 of 18
TelevisionThe boob tube lures you in,fuzzes down your neuronal signals.Input received, clone response out.Its hypnotic intensity mesmerizes,zapping nerve cells at every synapsethrough your remotely controlled corpse.A good ole' neural spring cleaningdoes the body good?Burns me outTunes me offMagnetizing your surroundings,its ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Female & male: 16 of 34
Poor BastardsI never thought I'd see the daywhen I would empathize withthe penis-bearers of the world.But alas, the time has come,and I finally understand men's plight.Forever angry and embittered,hostile and vengeful, I hated men,for the most part, a good 30 years.Witnessing the pain they inflictedon all the women in my life...
