Now, I am looking at  everyone’s tradition. Yes, all are genius. I see, some were  furious, and always took part to sacrifice themselves. Some were serious, and used [...]

(Ceaseless) Time

Death Has Two Sides

Poem #2: Death Has Two Sides:   Punishment for the Impure Soul   I am the soul with no morality, I am the soul with too many scratches and bruises, which I have inflicted upon myself. My body has hurt others, has caused pain to everyone around me, Because of this I am punished, because [...]

Something Warm

Something Warm

posted by Anonymous A few years ago, this southern Alabama town experienced unusually frigid weather, cold enough to knock out the power for days. My husband, braving the cold, was on the way to the grocery to resupply our perishibles, and passed a police officer. He was standing in the middle of a fairly remote [...]

The Rain and My Troubles

The Rain and My Troubles

Hey there! Here’s my second poem. Note: it’s easier to read poems one by one in order rather than all jumbled up, because it tells an even better story.   The Rain and My Troubles I sit beside the window, My heart filled with sorrow. Looking outside, I see the tears of the ached clouds. [...]
