Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Fire: 8 of 95
Fire.All consuming, all hating.It makes itself at home, uninvited.Its burning humour scolds,Its scorching remarks crackle.It erupts and decimates.It leaves only ashes and twisted metal.And bad memories.It incinerates dreams,And boils hopes.It's angry, white-hot.Killing with burning enthusiasm,An inner flame.And as I watch,My ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Childhood memories: 70 of 391
Looking back, it's funny isn't it?How we'd play childish games,Tag, you're it!How we'd have childish superstitions,Don't step on three drains,killing spiders will bring rain.Pitter patter. PatheticBut my superstition isn't funny.My obsession isn't humorousMy obsession is hell.It controls me, feeds of meLike a parasite.Tut, I ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The ocean: 33 of 184
The ocean, the sea,So vast large and blue.It's the only hurdle,Between Me and You.So full of salt,Just a stretch of brine.It's all that stops youFrom forever being mine.The current, it stops usAt ever turning.To keep us apart,To fill us with yearning.I'd swim the distance,And walk it twice.For only when your in my graspWill m...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Suicide: 177 of 486
As the razor traces my skinA red valley forms.And red roses bloom along its ridge.I giggle,As it oozes red innocenceAnd drips away like a forgotten memory.The water patters playfully at my faceAs my life goes down the drain.A perfect contrast.I reach for a towel,scattering redness like raindrops.An understatement;Gushing redn...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Time: 306 of 759
Time.It slips like sand through my grasping hands.Even now, it spins itself around me, teasing, escaping.I look on as seasons change, and landscapes transform,Unable to react in my desolate prison.I scream only to be unheard.I cry only to be unseen.They don't realize how it controls them, manipulating.Time is child playing wi...

Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing Stress and its effects on the Immune System: 2 of 4
Stress and the Immune SystemThere has been a lot of experiments and research conducted on the possibility of a link between stress and physical illness/ the break down of the immune system. When considering this possibility, one must understand the definition of stress. Lazarus & Folkman (1984) defined stress as: "A pattern o... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Now I know: 2 of 3
I used to thinkThat love was grand.But washed away quickly,Like castles in the sand.I used to thinkThat love was just.That every man doesAnd every woman must.I used to think,That love was blind.That special personYou try to find.I used to thinkThat love was great.Interwoven,Into our fate.I used to thinkThat loves doesn't lie....

When posed with the all-time question "what is your favourite book?" I'm always at a loss for choice. I love anything by Terry Pratchett being, in my opinion, the best author around. His charismatic Discworld series are teeming with life as every character has his or her own personality and morals. So much so in fact, that t... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life: 927 of 1201
We only get one chance, no retries, no repeats.We are actors in play we haven't rehearsed for.If at the end you have regrets,Then you have missed the point.Life, it's said, is set in concrete,Our destinies written for us.But really, life is what we make it.It's about choices, right or wrong.It's about love.It's about being th...
