Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Childhood: 2 of 73
I began school early. I was only 5 when I entered the first grade. Fundamentally, I was among peers, but physically, I was behind. Naturally, occasions would come up where my difference in age was extremely apparent. I can remember children in my kindergarten class losing their first teeth during lunch, or hearing them talk a...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Truth: 1 of 29
As a child, I was less than always truthful. I would say anything to keep myself out of trouble. Lies came to me easily, and I saw no harm in my actions. I was completely capable of recognizing wrong from right, but I chose to go on telling half-truths and lies. Oddly, I was rarely caught telling lies. Of course there were oc... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inspiration: 17 of 152
To InspireMy thoughts swirl- My imagination floats-The wind carries silence, which lends an ear.Rain driblets dapple across the stony landscape,smacking the rock with intention and might.Leaves from tip-top branches sway and spitdew droplets upon my shoulders- drip, trickle, drip.Warmth glows on my back, as the sun shinesits ...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Perspective: 7 of 61
Perspective is a strange, but powerful thing. Worldviews vary from place to place, and even more from person to person. Perspective makes us special, for we each have our own. On the other hand, it can poison our thoughts with prejudices and stereotypes. Our perspective is altered and affected by each and every event througho... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Discovering the truth about Santa Claus: 2 of 13
Christmas was very important to me as a child, as it is to most. Thanksgiving marked the beginning of a whirlwind of shopping, gift wrapping, baking and family gatherings- not to mention, presents! For as long as I can remember, I went to see Santa at the mall. We would wait in line, sometimes patiently, while child after chi... More..

Bath TimeBrightly colored cups floatedon the surface like hungryopen-mouthed piranhas.Brown and orange wash cloths-saturated with tepid water,gracefully danced like sea weed.Sometimes, they would creepacross the porcelain tub asthough they were starfishon the ocean floor.Pinwheels spun with handfulsof water, creating magnific...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Effective relief for back pain: 1 of 5
Inexpensive Back Pain TreatmentsBack pain can strike at any moment. But for someone who suffers from chronic back pain, the spans of time between spasms are only less painful. Any pain that lasts for longer than 3 months is considered chronic, and in many cases the cause(s) elude doctors and physical therapists. The back is a... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Castles: 4 of 17
Cajun CastleThrough the dimly fallen sky,the brilliant cresent moon hangs,glittering amidst the trees.Thick blankets of spanish mosscover the branches, now twistedintricately from overgrowth.Beneath the darkness of the sky,a decrepit shack rests quietly.Its shutters, cracked andloosely dangling from rusted nails,frame the win...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Rudeness in today's society: 14 of 59
Rude people are everywhere. It takes no more than a quick stroll through the mall or even the parking lot to encounter insurmountable rudeness. What does being rude or hurried solve? I see no harm in waiting a few extra minutes to let an elder go ahead of me at the checkout line in the grocery store. Nor do I see why common c... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Happiness: 6 of 23
I often feel like the happiest person in the room. There are times when I almost feel badly for being so happy. Other people should be able to experience my level of happiness every day.
