 | THIS HAPPENED A WHILE BACK | Justi Moody | Poetry | Religion and Spirituality | 5 | 0.73 | Jan 13, 2012 |
Summary:I am not fanatic about anything. I am passionate about almost anything I enjoy very much. I am not a religious person, but I am a Christian who lived almost 50 years knowing all about God from books, classes, being in church and whatever. After that age I met God and got to know him on a first name basis and I do enjoy writing about my faith. It is not to offend you but to share my joy hope you will enjoy it too. Chapters: |

 | Three Short Beers | jpb2ndchance | Poetry | Poetry | 10 | 1.27 | Jul 11, 2011 |
Summary:Years ago taverns up our way served "short beer", a seven ounce serving of whatever was the cheapest draught, usually Utica Club, Genesee Cream Ale or Ballantine. When I attained legal drinking age a "short" cost a quarter. Last time I found a place that served one it was three times that price. This poem has been in one of my notebooks for a long time though in a much different form. Comments welcome.Chapters: |
 | A Day In Time | flowing pencil | Poetry | Poetry | 8 | 0.12 | Mar 1, 2011 |
Summary:Yes... there will be more but too much on my mind to follow up right now.
Although, perhaps it says it all? Today is truly all we have and perhaps not even that long. Live in moment more?
This is one of those little pieces that one simply grabs a pencil and throws down before the words escape. Especially an old mind like mine!
I had forgot it was even here as had no title even. Stumbled across it this morning so here it is.
Very brief so sorry about the fifty word limit!!! haaaaaChapters: |

 | A Little Haiku | RBD | Poetry | Poetry | 4 | 0.28 | Nov 12, 2010 |
Summary:Just a couple of Haiku-style poems. I am not trying for an exact imitation, since English syllables do not really correspond to Japanese moras (or "on"). Just going for the "feel" of the Haiku.Chapters: |
 | Britches and Breakdowns | MHSpencer | Short Story | Humor | 5 | 0.40 | Aug 30, 2010 |
Summary:This is just another one of my columns. I'm trying to get a feel for what people really think of them. Like I said before, you just can't get honest feedback from loved ones. Pardon the grammar, its unedited and in bad need of a once over. I'm just feeling a tad bit lazy today.Chapters: |

 | They Write | flowing pencil | Poetry | Poetry | 23 | 1.23 | Apr 10, 2010 |
Summary:Many have read this. Reposting more for all who haven't read it. New members who may feel their work isn't heard. It is!
Just a reflection of what I see on this site day to day. Redone as want it perfected so all advice is welcome

 | Slow Burning Candle | flowing pencil | Poetry | Poetry | 13 | 0.34 | Oct 12, 2009 |
Summary:Poem about life also the use of allegories in expression in poetry or any writing.
Hope is to get readers who hesitate reviewing poetry to take a leap in faith as there is no wrong way to review if you say how a work 'feels' 'provokes' or if it doesn't. Still good feedback and can help enrich one's own writing.
Poetry is not my favorite genre. I don't even own a book of poetry except for my mothers. Only poetry I read in on this site. I write it as do not feel confident in other genres. I too am learning to try though. To stretch oneself is to grow and stay flexible.

Summary:The Golden Gate Bridge has about one suicide jumper a month - that we know of. It is 435 feet to the water and, 99.9% of the time, will do the job. The fire department and Coast Guard hear of most. The call goes out as a "Bay Rescue". About five to ten minutes later the call is cancelled announcing the Coast Guard doing a body recovery. It is never "billed" as a suicide. I do not make light of this subject. I understand it. Posting this makes me nervous as it acknowledges parts within me which are frightening.Chapters: |
