@scarletimmortalized I love writing poetry, but I’m still learning myself!  However, if you still would like to have someone to look over your poetry, I would love to. 🙂

@h-jones Definitely!

As for writing, I do write a lot of poetry.  When I can’t think of anything to write (as in a story or such), I just slip into poetry mode.  It’s my go-to when I am hurting or exhausted or just the opposite and I need an outlet for my emotions.  If you’re interested, here’s where I keep most of my poetry.  It’s a hom…[Read more]

@dakota This rings so sweet and so true – thanks for posting it! <3

@nuetrobolt Thanks so much!  You are very encouraging!
Also, even if you don’t consider yourself a “good” poet, I definitely would love to see something from you sometime, if you wouldn’t mind. 😉

Didn’t get any work done. 🙁 Hoping to at least write a hundred words.  If I get that far, it’ll be hard to stop from getting to a thousand. 😉

@kb-writer I am also self-taught, so I will tag along to see other’s results.  I do tend to make up my own patterns sometimes, just for the fun of it.

@kb-writer I love Robert Frost’s poetry, too.  It just describes simple beauty in such a profound way.  My other favorite poets would be Robert Browning, William Wordsworth – I love She Was a Phantom of Delight, one of my favorite of his poetry – and Emily Dickenson.  Robert Louis Stevenson and Tolkien as poets write beautiful poetry as wel…[Read more]

I am really having a hard time with setting aside time to write.  This year I am super busy with school and life is getting tough.  I barely even touched my draft, so I’m hoping to complete it this week.  We’ll see.  I suppose my goal is to finish that draft, like it was last time.

So neat you guys!  I love your ideas and stories and, like Laurel said, I really want to read them!
@gabrielle your short paragraph was so interesting and it pulled me in right away.
@law0413 wow, you’ve been working for such a long time!  That’s so neat!  I would so love to read your story someday!

I’ve been working on my own story for some ti…[Read more]

@law0413 I’ll be praying for you friend and their family and also for your parents!  Hope everything goes okay.  I know I worry about my family when their away for a little, but here’s a verse that always encourages me – I hope you find it helpful.

Psalm 94:19, 22 – When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.  But the Lo…[Read more]

@h-jones That is so encouraging!  Thank you for your comment!
Also, I love Psalm 84:10.  I looked it up after seeing it in your signature, and it’s so wonderful!

@kb-writer Hey, so awesome to have you here! 🙂  Just barging into your previous conversation, I know what it’s like to read your own poetry from when you were little and cringe and turn the page for something better.  But I guess it’s those starters that get us to where we are now.
I love poetry, too – both reading and writing it.  Do you have an…[Read more]

@serenity Thank you for your prayers, too.  I’m so glad God is working, and I will continue praying for you!

@serenity Thank you so much!  Your comment made me smile and it’s so encouraging 🙂  Do you write music?

@serenity Definitely – I’ll be praying for you! <3

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you.  Not as the world gives, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.                  John 14:27

@gabriellepollack Did it.  Thank you so much!

@martina wow, yours was so sad and so sweet – lovely job!  It resonated so much with my heart.

@gabriellepollack Sorry, but where do we post our votes?  I’m really bad with this!

@jane-maree awesome – I’m going to try MuseScore out!  Thanks 😀

Just worked on a new, more hopeful ending.  If you have any feedback, I’m still up for it!

The quiet mountains shadowed over
Where she last had danced abroad—
In the sands, there grew a clover,
Solitary in its grace.
And in that place of crumbled sod
Sweet heaven cast a blissful ray.
