Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Handle with care: 1 of 155

Handle with care the child who weeps or does not understand, Have patience and try helping them with simple comprehension, Their ignorance is hurtful, and it's not something they planned, And those tears of sheer frustration can relieve a bit of tension. Handle with care relationships with other folks you greet, For every si...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I am a poet: 1 of 114

Laugh though you may, consider me a poet, since My words in rhyme may merit that small prize, Although their intimacy may cause you to wince, I cannot in my verses, speak in endless lies. You say my words lack substance, and are shallow, Comparing me with Shakespeare who is dead, And say my muse's fields are ever fallow, Pre...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My painful past: 2 of 201

When praying to my God for his attention, And asking why these things should hurt so much, My past was catching up and needed mention, I felt that I was somehow losing touch. "Why me?" I prayed for simple understanding. "Why me?", I asked, had I deserved my fate? Why was my life so hard and so demanding? Help had eluded me a...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Adoption Assessing child abuse risk factors: 1 of 65

Assessing child abuse risk factors It seems almost inhuman in this day and age that children are still being abused worldwide, and that many of these cases could have been prevented, had the risk factors of child abuse been clearly publicized to teaching staff and those dealing on a day to day basis with the welfare of child...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Apartments: 1 of 65

Away above the streets below, Where only silent people go, Living in blocks so high, The lights at windows all aglow, With shadows running to and fro, I watch as you pass by. On streets below me far away, From lonely places where we stay, I wonder as I stare, If here, in boxes, in the sky, Where people simply pass us by, If ...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Mystery: 2 of 111

NEEDS NOT FORGOTTEN I saw the black cloaked figure looming in the distance or was it a shadow ? The landscape was bleak, bleaker than it had been in previous winters, tinged with a deep violet from the newly flowering heather, though cold against a white sky. The trees seemed threatening, their branches swaying with no harmo...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Haiku about cats: 2 of 104

The awareness of the cat. Feline in her stance, Claws ready, eyes awakened, Second sense alert.
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The mountains: 2 of 101

The Significance of the Mountain. The mountains which surround my life, White capped in snow's own veil, Have seen environmental strife, Survived the strongest gale. Their heads held proud against a sky, That seems so deep a blue, And valleys down below do try, To shake the morning hue. That cradles vales in cloaks of mist, ...
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Advantages of rural life: 1 of 50

Often people have an idyllic image of rural life. They see trees, fields, sunsets and sunrises, though of course these are only a small part of the reality of living in a rural environment. Getting to grasps with the change of environment from that of a town is half the battle of finding the gold at the end of the rainbow. T...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Truth: 4 of 194

They told us all when we were young, We were too young to ask, Our songs weren't ready to be sung, Like childhood was a task ! They tell us what we need to know, Intepreting our need, What happened to the way we grow ? Or nurturing the seed. They told us 'Listen to our folks' Though never to our soul, Not knowing that our pa...
