| WITHIN MY WALLS | flowing pencil | Poetry | Poetry | 8 | 0.86 | Nov 30, 2011 |
Summary:This is more of a freeing of one's soul Not sure regarding formal format or allowing it to simply go where it wants to go.
Perhaps it is simply a gift to me as a writer... to just let the words flow freely, with no rules holding me back... no particular audience to please... just one soul putting into words her experiences... Any feedback..
It may ramble a bit but I think that would be appropriate ate times. These are thoughts in verses. Chapters: |

Summary:For ten years I've watched the PBS News Hour name off the war dead at the end of the show. Just kids, some of them die dreaming of a future that never comes.
