Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The tragedy of love

6 of 183

I watch the mounting shadows dance callously over the mountains As I stand cold and alone, my thoughts are drawn to you like moths to a flame Your gentle smile and caressing touch, now long gone, haunts me as day lingers and darkness finally overwhelms the terrain Warm soil beneath my bare feet, I am reminded of my orga...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why Atheists are right

3 of 23

Why should we believe that there is some omnipotent power in the universe to guide us and prevent serious catastrophe? As a diehard existentialist fan, finding solace in Kafka's metamorphosis and Camus' Myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger, it is hard for me to accept in the idea of a divine power. If there is such a power, why... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: The joys of air travel

11 of 45

I did not truly understand what it means to be fidgety on an airplane until my flight from LA to Hong Kong. 16 hours, on a cramped plane, with people jabbering in a language I don't understand. Lord have mercy. In Chinese, I've come to learn that "Good morning sir" and "You smell like a god damn farm animal" sound almost ide... More..

Arts & Humanities > Literature (Other) Should books have ratings like movies to warn parents about inappropriate content?

21 of 48

In my candid opinion, parents should be able to have some idea as far as the content of the books their children are reading. For example, more complex texts are more than likely to contain subject matter that may be inappropriate for young children. It couldn't hurt anything by merely having a warning on there, just so that... More..

17 of 38

As I gaze hopefully into the sunset , I allow myself to ponder the many nuances of love, as brilliant as the various shades of gold, pink, purple, and yellow coloring the evening sky. My heart, once content and full of the most passionate kind of love, the one that hinders logic and throws me blindly into an emotional tempes... More..

Verse 1: Standing under the bright sunlight looking in your eyes/ I've tried for so long but cannot disguise/ The love I feel/ It's too surreal/ I need your touch, your smile, its clear/ Chorus: You look at me, and my affection starts to gush/ I fall into your arms, as my senses start to rush/ Oh baby, the fire, it burns wit...

Creative Writing > Drama Drama: Visiting your grandparents

1 of 2

(The setting is a dark, cramped bathroom. The sink is overflowing with old, yellowing water, and streaks of red lipstick line the cold metal mirrors. Light streams in through a small aperture in the ceiling, and this is the only illumination in the otherwise tiny room) (Louise, an old, gray-haired woman, lies slumped over, s... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Giving up

15 of 20

Falling through gray clouds, spiraling towards my stark reality It is hard to fathom the reason for breath, the reason to live when you yearn to die When colors of beauty fade to dismal grays and black, like the earliest days of memory Before the pain, before the disappearance of sweet sunshine, before the hope was lost in t...
