Creative Writing > Satire Satire: Growing up

1 of 11

I was the reluctant oldest of five kids. I say this because looking back on my childhood, it's a wonder I even had one at all. The oldest three of us were eleven months apart. That meant that at one time during the year two of us would be the same age for approximately one month give or take as the stork flies. I guess the ag... More..

I can see it in your eyes... loneliness.It heightens all your fears,and brings on all your tears.There's just no place to hide,from your loneliness.You're it's prisoner of regrets,and memories of losing that you keep choosing.One thing that you can bet...about loneliness.It stays there with you, day and night,wrong or right, ...

School is out. What a blast! But George's car is out of gas.What madness is this?Ye Gads, why such bliss?Frigid, fragile, frosty flakes, falling in a frenzy;forming foam about my face.Frigid, fragile, frosty flakes!George cries out "Mother will kill!"Then poor old George, he takes a spill.The dampness soaks into his clothes.I...

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Childhood memories

27 of 113

Seemingly small incidents can stay with young children all through their adult life. I remember my Aunt Joan holding me on a bridge above a stream, and going through playful motions (according to her), tossing me gently to and fro saying she was going to throw me in. She admits doing this when she watched me so mom and dad c... More..

Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The decline of the US as a world power

14 of 47

The USA, still a World Power? Say what? You could have fooled me. There is no unity in this power. The Parties are divided. This power ain't got no class, it's classes are divided. There are few friends of this power, because the poor can't identify. And it's poor are tired of fighting the rich man's wars and are taking up th... More..

When it comes to music everybody has their own preferences. Music speaks to the personality of the listener. Or does it? I've always had a great sense of humor, and many who know me will attest to that. I can find a laugh in the most depressing of situations and you would expect me to be the kind to hang out in comedy clubs o... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Childhood toys

4 of 13

Toys are based mainly on role-playing and imagination. They are heavily promoted on TV, in magazines, and store circulars mainly around Christmastime. Morning children shows carry the bulk of the promotion the rest of the year. So does word of mouth from one child to another after bringing home something great while shopping ... More..

Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Comic books: Where have all the heroes gone?

9 of 21

One of the last things my father and I reminisced about before he died this year was his love of comics as a young boy (God rest his beloved and sadly missed soul). It was one of the few things we both shared in common during our youth. I remember fondly the very first time he even broached me on the subject. I... More..

Health & Fitness > Weight Issues Will a tax on chocolate help tackle obesity?

3 of 4

A recent Times article presented the idea of a Fat Tax, based on the opinion of a medical doctor. The article touched not on only chocolate and other unhealthy items being taxed, but promoted the discriminatory notion that the overweight should pay more for their health insurance. This he said was justifiable because obesity... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Community events: How festivals and fairs give back to the community

2 of 2

My Community...making my life so exciting with all those things to do here in Schuylkill and Berks Counties! It just boggles my mind that I can experience what life has to offer by attending these great activities. I have been bitten by hawks, snakes and rabid rabbits on nature hikes. I have been stung by a bee and gone into ... More..
