Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Stop: 1 of 17

I am suspended in time and motion. I no longer know any meaning of devotion And I can't help but drown in the ocean. Who can save me but with a little notion? You see, my heart stopped its beating tune. My body so quickly has fallen into ruin, And everything seems to be ending to soon. I no longer believe to death am I immun...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Relationships: 15 of 181

A Life Between the Lines I met Sam years ago. At the time, I spent plenty of time at the local book store where I read anything that caught my interest. Like many girls, I read romance novels. I always loved the books with perfect beginnings and perfect endings, but I never knew that a perfect beginning walked into the store...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Love: 7 of 77

The four individuals standing around the two cars parked in the driveway of the house on the corner had awaited this day for quite some time. Exactly five months ago, their trip was planned. Today, it would be realized. “Okay, we all know that Bryan is going to be the first person in Denver, so why don’t we...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sorrow: 21 of 195

The Song Tragedy finally struck the proper chords To create a melody of sweet-sounding harshness That cracked the strongest bones and Crushed the sweetest of spoken words. The first verse described a tale of sorrow, Powerful enough to destroy any guarantees In life or any chance of a better tomorrow, Which the mistaken chose...

"He loves me; he loves me not. He loves me; he loves me not. He loves me..." Katie sat on the lawn in front of her home, picking the petals off of a rather large sunflower. Since the last petal she pulled symbolized the right answer, her lips formed into a smile and her face alighted with enthusiasm. Just then, a boy walked ...
Education > Homework & Testing How to help your child with math: 3 of 25

There is a simple way to describe how people understand math - either they get it or they don't. A middle ground in math skills does not really exist. Issues with mathematics arise at an early age. Without assistance, children will grow up with continually lacking skills in increasingly more difficult levels of math. Plenty ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pencil & paper: 12 of 67

I love when these words flow from hand to pencil to paper. The words flow through my veins and over to my hands. From there, the pencil and paper become beautiful. Although I question the words when they are in my body, I question nothing when the reach their ultimate destination. Someone once said that pencil and paper are ...
Education > Education (Other) Should physical education be mandatory: 4 of 22

In blunt terminology, a lot of people don't know the first thing about being healthy nor do they know the importance of physical education. I cannot stress how important P.E. is to young children, teens, and even adults. Physical education is one of the most important things a person can be taught, but many refuse to acknowl...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I can't love you anymore: 3 of 14

I've been down this road so many times before I've walked out so many times through that door God's will can't even help me settle this score And I decided that I can't love you anymore Do you remember the first time we fought? Reconciliation is the only thing that I sought, But you wanted much more than I thought You wanted...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Out of my mind: 5 of 20

They say that insanity is some sort of a calamity, But I like to say it's a part of my shining vanity, And your just blind because of your sanity, So why don't you let me be and stand away? I just might crack loose with a machete; I just might break out with language none too steady. I can and will do circles around the imag...
