Got it up to 1,287!

@h-jones Oh, wow.  I love the sway of this piece, so chilling.  Yes, I think you did capture the mysterious feel.
Also, I read the line “worm into dreams” and at first I shuddered, because that word “worm” is so expressive and kind of creepy.  I wasn’t sure if I like it at first, but after reading the poem through a second time, I think adds so mu…[Read more]

I have fallen so far behind in my novel that I don’t know what to do.  I really would like to continue working on it and finish the first half by spring, but I don’t know if I will be able to keep that goal.  Life has been going bonkers recently, and it will only get worse.
Other goals are to write at least a hundred words a day, whether that’s jo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Thanks for asking and cheerleading! XD 537 is all I’ve got so far.

@evelyn Of course not 🙂

Mom and Dad went on a date

And left us on our own,

To scour pantries for some food

And make our meals alone.

Between “scour” and “pantries”, perhaps you might want to add a “the”.  It all depends on if you say “scour” with two syllables or one.

Hey, just saw this, but I wanted to drop by and say that I write poetry.  I started as a little girl with some funky poems, and when I turned thirteen, began to write seriously.  I guess you could say right now, I keep on improving.  I love poetry – reading it and writing it.
Favorite poets would be William Wordsworth (love his poem She Was a Ph…[Read more]

@evelyn Not really that much.  I think there are a couple places that could be touched up if you really wanted to, but they don’t bother me a ton.

@gabriellepollack This is really motivating.  Time to get back to work! 🙂

Does poetry count?

@evelyn Ah, so cute.  I actually read this on your blog and thought it was great. 🙂

@kb-writer Marimba – that is so neat!  I know what it is and I love hearing it played, but I have never known anyone who plays it before.
I would love to take guitar lessons from you and cross border lines and pay you!…as long as you would pay for the trip!;)
I can’t believe I forgot!  Debussy is my favorite composer!  I love his Danse and Arabes…[Read more]

@kb-writer I love it!!  This is so hilariously honest.  Can’t wait to see more!

Here’s one of mine.  I wrote it when I was ten, just for fun.

Burnin’ and Bakin’

A pinch of this, a dab of that
Into the mixing bowl,
Then stir until you cain’t no more,
With all your heart and soul.

This recipe to good success
To many lives has bring’d
A sense…[Read more]

@h-jones So awesome!  I’ll be excited to see you post!!

Yes, William Wordsworth is one of my favorites.  I love his poem “She Was a Phantom of Delight”.  To be honest, I have not read “Simon Lee”.  I will now, though!  I think I may have read “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” at one point in time before I really appreciated poetry, but now I need…[Read more]

@kb-writer Please, talk as much as you want on music!  I love music!  I play the piano as well, coming up on my eleventh year.  As for guitar, I am trying to teach myself, but it’s getting harder to be consistent.  Hoping to have my younger sister teach the basics of violin to me someday, and I love to sing.  Do you have any favorite comp…[Read more]

@h-jones Hey,

Just wanted to say I’m praying for you!  I have struggled in the past with things very similar, bad experiences with the web and sinning with my talents and stuff.  I understand what it’s like.  But I know that God uses all this stuff for his own plan and his own purposes.  I don’t have a direct answer, but we know the One who does…[Read more]

@e-b-raulands I love sonnets – so beautiful to read, although I’ve never written one before.

@kb-writer I guess I’ll add my bit here.  I made this one out of my head, so bear with me! 😉 I suppose you could call it iambic.  It’s a nine-line stanza; pattern: ABCCBBCAA.
I think that’s as much as I can say.

My example: There Have Been Those D…[Read more]

@scarletimmortalized This is very meaningful – I think – and I like it a lot!
Rhythm-wise, I think perhaps there were a few places that could be polished a bit, but if you aren’t really concerned about that, it’s not really trippy and you don’t need to take any of my advice 😉 It’s just a bit inconsistent.
Actually, can I just email you my…[Read more]

@cindy Wow, thank you so much!  That means a lot to me, coming from you.  I really admire your writings.

@h-jones You should join!  It really is awesome!
I’m so glad you like to write poetry.  I love it, but not a lot of my friends do, so it’s great to meet you!  What kind of poetry do you write?  Do you have a favorite poet or poem? (I love…[Read more]
