About me - Jonathan Thorogood

My name is Jonathan Arman Thorogood and the best way to describe myself is as a "sharp-dull" person. I use "sharp-dull" because it is the actual translation of the word oxymoron. I am an aspiring author/priest/fighter that is a teacher of Early Childhood Education

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The sun: 1 of 37

"Once more, the sable mantle of night will draw back and the sun will raise her gleaming crown from beneath even's velvet hood; her fiery countenance will be unveiled upon the world. Her blushing face will herald the crimson dawn; her radiant, golden brow will smite the horizon and break the day as she thrusts her white swor... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: May: 1 of 12
In honor of the great and glorious Maia, Daughter of the Titan burdened with Gaia, A season of the passing years was named, That would one day become timelessly famed, It gives sacred honors to the Mary the Blessed Virgin, Who was made a star in the heavens over the home of the sturgeon, Its first day marks the arrival ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Complicated life: 1 of 11
I may never be the king in your life,To passionate flame nor exalted wife,But I shall stand above the king,Where the heavens glint and the angels sing,Yet I will live to serve the flock,That the Almighty molded from earth and rock,To suffer not the vile and profane,With garland of roses and sable soutane,Sown/Sewn with a numb...

Food & Drink > Cooking (Other) Are printed cookbooks a thing of the past?: 4 of 35

Printed cookbooks will never go away. We all have them...sitting in a kitchen drawer with their front covers riddled with stains of grease spots with pages that were once white and are now a sort of peach-orange or just a grayish-brown color falling out. The printed cookbook can be viewed in the same light as that Family Bibl... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dare to be average: 1 of 7
In the eyes of the niggardly damsel I am only average,But I care not of the shrouded thoughts of that womanly savage,That seeks the arrogant and basely strong, Seducing with boorish tales and ulterior song,And abhor the gentle as the weak,Those swift to compassion and unhurried to speak,However, compare not their mediocrity t...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God only known for what He's done or for what He is?: 7 of 41
I honestly had the hardest time choosing which side to debate on, so I chose "Is"...but only to say that God is also known for what He has done as well. I do not know how anyone can even debate on a subject such as this; I am not saying that this is some sort of blasphemy against the Almighty, because I believe that God is no... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture How can I be sure of my salvation?: 18 of 75
How can one be sure of their salvation? I say that it is up to the individual. I believe that as Christians, Muslims and Jews we must forget about the Jesus, Muhammed and Bar Naphle of legend, for just one moment...a mere moment...to see the truth that God wants us to see. And what is a moment to the Son of the Father who is ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Insanity: 35 of 143
Is insanity not a part of humanity? Don't you wake up every day to start afresh not knowing what's in store, When you put on your shoes and walk out the front door, Every moment is a leap of faith that we all must take, So continue to plead insanity for goodness sake, For if we all were sane our lives would be dull, And...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Freedom: 73 of 283
No matter how much I seem to try,I cannot seem to be a far cry,I do not want to be the same,As all who play this silly game,This farce of a life that we hold so dear,That passes fleetingly by year after year,It is said that nothing new is beneath the sun,There is nowhere to hide and nowhere to run,So all I can do is be the b...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sunsets: 22 of 81

The glory of that crimson shield of light, That harbinger of the daytime's blight, Its sanguine rim flashes emerald green, At the ocean's zenith, a miracle seldom seen, But its also believed to be that gleaming gate, That leads to She'ol and its darkened state, Not that door to the Bosom of Abraham, But the bar that im...
