Writer's Quote of the Day:

The best style is the style you don't notice. ~Somerset Maugham

I might have been eclectic
if I wasn't such a skeptic
and failed to travel near and far
cuz the journeys were too hectic

My poems are pathetic
even though they're quite phonetic
loquaciously linguistic
yet so blatantly synthetic

I try to be poetic
with words that are prophetic
I paint with little phrases
that are awesomely aesthetic

So if you're sympathetic
and find my lyrics quite magnetic
please don't ask me how it's done
I think it's probably genetic

Paranoia


I don't trust the F.B.'s eye
I don't want to be a spy
I don't trust the C.I.'s Aye
I don't care what they all say

I don't trust the lizard queen
I don't believe what I have seen
The I.R. S.'s evil axes,
Bush's boy's collecting taxes.

Son's of reptile origin
German troops and China-men
(They are here within our border
waiting to control disorder.)

You won't see their hidden faces
deep with the secret bases
You must laugh and think I'm nuts....
(I hope I am.)

Ron Brown's Body

(Ron Brown's Body has a bullet in the brain.)
In spite of all the lies, this fact remains the same.
There are those who know and those who don't
and those who will speak out and those who won't.

I asked for the truth and maybe I found it.
Or maybe everyone just dances around it.
The bribes, the lies, the murder, the killing;
The scope of corruption is certainly chilling.

The tower is down and the truth shall be known.
The evidence found, the cover is blown.
Genocide, drug trade, and acid rain,
(and Ron Brown's body has a bullet in the brain.)

Writers are just people who have a whole lot on the inside that they need to get to the outside, with pen and paper as their preferred method of transport. Same with dancers, artists, and singers - all the same urges with differing transportation. ~Graycie Harmon

Writer's Quote of the Day:

The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof **** detector. This is the writer's radar and all great writers have had it. ~Ernest Hemingway, interview in Paris Review, Spring 1958

Just saying hello. I do a little writing. I'm currently heading a world creation project for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game on the play-by-post site I moderate on. It's kinda like creative writing. And we do write storys.
Anyhow, I've written stuff since I was little, many centuries ago. I used to write a bunch of pages an hour. But writer's block whooped my butt big time over the years. I wrote a few songs during/ right after highschool. When I had a band. Gosh. We were awful!
Anyhow, hello. And if I can work it in my schedule, I'll post a story in this forum. But I have to edit it. Make it more PG. My storys often get intence- even for fantasy and sci-fi. The story I have in mind was actually a game I ran at the gaming site.
Again, hello fellow writers. Whether you're a poet, songwriter, story teller, or muse...you should be respected for your creativity.

You Know Who You Are

Sometimes, just to bend the ear,
Just to know that someone hears,
The echo travels in so fast,
To make you feel, you will not last.
Do what you know will be best,
To feel you, hear you, we are blessed.
Love you,
s

Ink

With implicit spaces
and straight lines,
Scripted and penned,
by a quill so fine.,
Memory folds,
that crease with time,
creating such love,
that remembers blind.
Lovers and letters,
lived and defined.
Painted by hearts
of pain designs.
So, the soul
closes its eyes.
Ink disappears,
while blood defies.
Piercing and scratching,
invisible, quivers,
on the soul's covering,
skin's inkless rivers.

The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium. ~Norbet Platt

It's been a roller coaster ride.
Stomach turning flips
through youthful love.
Heart-stopping drops
through raising toddlers.
Nerve racking turns
through unexpected losses.
Hair raising screams
through homework assignments.

And when it's all over,
you discover
that how you remember it
depends on how much
you liked roller coasters to begin with.
