For Danny, it seemed that since his mother’s letter about being unable to visit for a while, the Flints’ attitude towards him had hardened. Albin Flint, in particular, became more involved, and not in a good way. Danny was sure that the man had declared his own personal war on him. Threats were constant. Flint was frequently warning Danny about staying away from the woods. Tempting as the sheltering branches of the trees...

Every raindrop from the skytouching this desiccated earth. Brings fresh verve, causing a sigh.Damping a place, so flowers grow. Like every teardrop from her eye,touches this bruised parched heart. Sowing seeds to make her garden grownever meaning to cause a painful tear. Wishing only laughter makes her cry,and fetches beauty to embrace her soul. Creating joy to behold in a rainbow sky,fulfilling dreams, while expanding ti...

This poem may be sung using the music of "La Complainte du Partisan" ("The Partisan"), a song about the French Resistance in World War II. The song was written in 1943 in London by Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie (lyrics) and Anna Marly (music). It has been covered by numerous people, including the version by Leonard Cohen. My poem uses the music to create the flow of the words. ***** Kiss me, dear,Until the morrow,All I...

...a gold leash. We don't care... We aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals.

Let's have a block wide party,Let's make it harder this way. Don't let them feed their egos,Trolling is stopped for today. Distasteful preening creaturesFlouncing and prancing about,Always leave traces of prideNever betraying a doubt. Let's have a block wide party,Let's make it harder this way.Don't let them feed their egos,Trolling is stopped for today. Smothered in trite insistence,Feeding on fears and duress,Theirs is...

(First verse) I never understood your reasoning to make me feel worthless I never understood what went through your mind every time you weren't there  Did you ever stop and think before you acted See how this would have affected me (Chorus)  Why don't you see what you put me through Why don't you see when I stand here and cry Why don't you see everything I go through Oh, I forgot it because you don't care (Second verse) ...

Prologue: 5:30 this morning as I stood in the dark, I could see Venus, as she was following the last quarter of the moon across a crystal sky. The darkness of night being quickly consumed by a new rising sun, bringing promise of a clear sunny day. An old Beatles song began playing in my mind. "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right." I couldn't help daydreaming about Spring and wrote down what I w...

"I can be tough,I can be strong,But with youit's not like thatat all...There's a girlwho gives a shit,Behind this wall,You just walk through it." I have walls... They're up at school and in front of my family and some of my friends, but I can't seem to keep them up around you. They're all always down with you, and I'm weak and my heart's vulnerable and when I need you... I need you. when I have my off days, I need you. wh...
