The journey

Michelle — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:37:21 GMT

My journey will start midway through

I'll leave out the start, as to not bore you

Born with the nature of sheep, always following the first

Not from my own desires, always being coerced

One after another, my instinct is to survive

In search of the nourishment I need to thrive

With every inch I go, I leave a satin rail

Along the path I follow, leaving a lovely trail

With every thread left, my path is made known

Munching along the way, then I find myself alone

My flock is gone, ...

emjaykay62 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:52:08 GMT

Incredible

when things go your way

Incredible

when someone loves you

and you love them

Incredible

when life takes a turn

and you wake up singing

Incredible just incredible

when you have hope in your heart

and a spring in your step

Incredible

when the past fades and the future

looks bright and sunny

and today does not seem too bad

Just so Incredible you

just want to burst and scream

I made it and I never thought I would

Incredible

I made ...

Too cute!

HUMOR, lol: How To Write Good!

Bpoetic — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:35:24 GMT

.

*I don't know where this came from, but some is derived from William Safire's Rules for Writers. (Don't forget: this is humor!)

.

1. Always avoid alliteration.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. Avoid cliches like the plague�they're old hat.

4. Employ the vernacular.

5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.

7. Parenthetical words however must be enclosed in commas. ...

WIFE FROM HELL HAHA

Dori_1960 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 04:45:59 GMT

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The

officer says, 'I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.'

The driver says, 'Gee, officer I had it on cruise

control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating ?'

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says:

'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.'

As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks

over at his wife and growls, 'Can't you please keep your

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned

seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to

read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.

Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled

all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start

a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest

Karma

Michelle — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:46:00 GMT

Is there such a thing as karma?

Is that what makes the world go round?

When one good turn deserves another,

leading to a life profound.

Should the one that reaches out;

that feels their pain and acts,

have a life full of peace,

able to enjoy and relax.

And what about the ones that hurt,

crushing everything in their path,

stealing hope, squashing dreams,

making everyone feel their wrath.

Shouldn't they be delt the worst

of lifes destructive blows?

Incubus

Movement One 12:03 am

It was late. Sprawled in bed

a fantastic dream before her spread.

In groping madness she thought she was awakened

but found herself in an awful state,

sleeping within a morbid death surround.

She heard sickening sounds . . .

-slumping there, a man with one arm dangling;

-then a fellow bellering, his wife he was strangling;

-wailing, another in greatest agony of defeat;

-still another man slipped and lost ...

The kiss

Michelle — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:43:38 GMT

The light fades to black as I fall into the abyss.

Jagged edges pierce then mangle my skin.

My decent seems endless, limp I surrender to the fire within.

Claws score...enough to feel the warmth of life seeping out.

Whipping my lifeless body, no breath in me to shout.

Submitting to the blaze that yearns to consume me.

Devouring my body as my spirit tries to flee.

Light fades to black, death's eternal kiss.

The Smile On Your Face

emjaykay62 — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:49:45 GMT

The smile on your face

The love in your heart

Helps me through each day

Your arms that embrace me

The care in your eyes

Reminds me that you love me

A love that will never end

And for the rest of my living life and beyond

I will always know you love me

The smile on your face when I walk in the room

Assures me that I am the luckiest person alive

And so are you, as I smile back and say, �I love you!�

SOUNDINGS

One root of the silken aspen reaches across

the bank, a natural terrace. The sound

of the ground quaking forward tongues

its way through sizzling leaves, and the water

turns its truculent waves against carved boulders,

old concrete pilings, the root. Of all evil,

nature brings the deftest in months like these,

with a fall that teases and takes a hand,

leads a merry chase through brilliant motes of gold,

the eye cannot hold for long. Under the ...

Soon asleep, he lay there sawing logs

while dreams circled round in his head:

a dog in a bog, who was lost in the fog . . .

but it wasn't the plan, so the scene he fled.

Spiders crawled and snakes slithered,

the old man dreamed of worms well read

but even asleep, he became a bit dithered

When all about you is black with gloom,

And all you feel is pending doom.

When your bones are racked with grim despair -

When every breath is a gasp for air.

Keep on going, though you need to grope,

For around the bend is a ray of hope.

A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,

As your will to live has been bereft.

You've lost it all, it's just no use!

You can end it all, you need no excuse.

But throw away that piece of rope,

And give yourself a chance of hope.
