Poetry Pages

Been a while since I came back home. This place started it all for me. I'm planning on having my first short story collection published by the end of the year. It took me a long time to accept the fact that I am supposed to be a writer. Besides I'm not in charge anyway. I might post one of the stori...

Realized today I have been neglecting this place. Damn Facebook and YouTube sucked me in. I'm not going to let them control my.......wait a minute.....sorry. Gotta go. Someone just commented on my Facebook post.

It's bad here. The heat is unbearable. Then it looks like we're gonna get something, and nothing happens. I pray and pray - "Just a little bit. ANYTHING!" But, nothing. Then, the heat is on again and I have to sweat it out and find other means of relief. ...but. Enough about my sex life. The weather...

I found Poetry Pages in 2000 I believe. Left, then joined again. So, I'm a little over twelve years. Technically. God, has it been that long? I was married and in college. My relationship with Poetry pages and all of my friends here has lasted longer than my marriage and last relationship. Geez. :sh...

Your little smiles Petite, warm hands You look up at me With eyes that pronounce me A hero Soft, gentle voices Sometimes laugh Sometimes cry But always with a love I did not earn And here In my hands I hold your hearts I hold a mass of your joy Here In these trembling old hands I hold the power To c...

Oh and I agree with Bagsy, something real damn fishy about that Perry cat. I don't trust him. :no: Do you trust her ? :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intel/2011/08/08/08_bachmann-newsweek.o.jpg/a_250x339.jpg http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/08/michele_bachmanns_eyes_scare...

I don't know how to put it in words, so....

My name is Simon Trevoc, and I’ve been told I hate other humans. I’ve been accused of being anti social and rude. I’ve been called a selfish man. I’ve even been labeled “crazy.” But this is simply not true. Sure, I avoid others. I am not much of a conversationalist and I spend almost all my time alo...

You just called Yahweh by his shorten named Jah short for Jehovah/Yahweh. I hope you realize that.. Because if you were trying to be a smartass, you failed miserably... :no: Quite true, My Lady. And did you know the word "hallelujah" means "praise Jehovah"? People say it every day. We name our chil...

I'm glad everyone's okay. I don't mean to make light of the damage from Irene, but I was watching the news and a reporter was standing in the street during the storm. He was staggering around, as if he couldn't stand in one place because of the wind. He was talking about how horrible it was, when ju...

Cool. I'm impressed that you go to that extent to protect the writing of others. I am a greedy bastard and want to make money off my writing, so it does matter to me. Thanks for the info.

I'm researching for a book I want to write based on my familiy's history. It takes place in 1831, so it's totally different from anything I've written before. I usually write action-horror-comedy. This'll be more drama than anything. Truthfully, it's rather intimidating. So, you're suggesting (in a ...

Hey, Pops. I've been reading through some of your stories. You have the classical voice when you write, as if someone from that time-period really wrote it. How'd you do that?

Writer's Block is a martial arts move where you use your computer or notepad to block a punch....right? Tell me that's what it is, because I've done it.
