Creative Writing > Poetry Best love poems

5 of 506

Smooth as silk Soft, yet firm Do I dare to touch again Her collarbone? Warm and welcome Electric elevation Trust I taste sweet kiss again from Her lips? My weakness of will Her might of mind How does she succeed where I fail? Fragrant and fresh Fringing fingertips Could I run them through again Her hair? Perfect loss Deep an...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Reflections on success, struggle, and happiness

The dragon folds its wings alone And lies its giant, armored body On a pile of gold and gems and silver That would glitter and sparkle and shine If there were light, but there is none The dragon lives alone in darkness Bursts of flame from nose and mouth Could illuminate the treasures Make their beauty dance and come to life...

Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips Writing tips: Writing to get published

As an Editor-In-Chief I read a lot of stories. Each story comes from a hopeful writer. All writers know the hope of having something they've written published.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark humor

No one for me ever calling; I wondered if I were appalling. Then a bug I saw a crawling-crawling on my toast Wretched thing, t' was black and hairy; at fir...
