Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Funny preacher stories: 35 of 40
As I was growing up in my teenage years I attended a large town Baptist church with a slightly eccentric Preacher. His name was the Reverend William Williams a Welsh man through and through and when ever he got into the pulpit you could expect a theatrical performance. This was aided by his comical look, he was a tall thin m... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When you bury me: 31 of 35
When you bury me, don't make my grave, a place to come, to stand and stare. Or where you become sad and sombre. Locked to the past, to death and passing. When you bury me, my wish will be. That you live your life full and free. Free from remorse and from the past. Able to move on and laugh again, at the good times we spent. ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Angels: 244 of 263
Could you be? I see you slumped by a wall in a pool of piss, a can of special brew lies spilled by your feet. With your clothes badly soiled and an unshaven face, the stench tells me you haven't washed for days. Your skin is badly calloused, your eyes are bruised. Your nails are yellow from nicotine stains. And as people wal... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Looking in the mirror: 189 of 201
I despise the way you make me feel. Negative, depressive, crushing, hurtful. You're supposed to show a mirror image, as I am, exactly, identical, the same. So why do I find it hard to hold your gaze? Why do I see a hideous portrayal? Like a sadistic artist in a bitter rage. Or a hurtful satirist aimed only at me. My imperfec... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Bitter: 79 of 84
It breaks my heart to see how you treat those around you, those who love you. The only people who care if you live or die. The people who are there for you day and night. The road you are walking is going to end in tears. It's odds on favourite that you'll be spending some years. Kept at her Majesty's pleasure. You need to t... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Moving on: 283 of 300
Do you see moving on as, the end of something, or the start of something new? Do you see moving on as, broken relationships, or as a chance to make new friends? Do you see moving on as, a negative thing, or as a positive experience? Do you see moving on as, an uphill struggle, or as a challenge to dive right into? Do you see... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Music: 145 of 153
You quicken my senses, they all come alive, when you are near. You affect my mood, lifting me up, to ecstatic highs. Taking me low, making me cry. Helping me laugh and fueling my anger, when you are near. You've become an infatuation, without you life is dull. An obsession, an addiction, I crave you, I need fix. You engrave ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Death: 657 of 693
Death. The end? Or the beginning? Life's journey stops here, or a new chapter opens? The conclusion, nothing, darkness, empty, void! Or eternity here, exciting, hopeful, renewing, promising. God or no God revealed now. Left behind those you love. Memories made, not forgotten. Good or bad? Your impact, Done. More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Skin: 24 of 25
If we could put ourselves in each others skin, Perhaps the world would change! For I would see what its like to be you, and you what its like to be me. It would help us understand our differences, of religion, race and creed. It would help us lose our ignorance, It could start to set us free. If we could put ourselves in eac... More..
