Hi! I’m glad that you like my poem! This is the first piece of poetry that I’ve written and posted (not including the one for a collaborative story I did) on here. And I’m really glad that my poem made you want to read The Wingfeather Saga even more, as it is my absolute fav book series (as you can probably tell from my username and q…[Read more]

The rebel commander stormed across the parking-lot. Her long-coat flew like batwings, dark as the sky above them. Her hands swung loose at her side, seeming to point the driving wind and rain toward her enemies. Her pace measured the distance between her and the foe and found it wanting. Her bare, tattooed scalp reflected the searchlight, rai…[Read more]

Your poem felt powerful. Also, tragic, important, and well-written. I especially found the repetition of the word silent to be strong and impactful.

Silent
Silent, as the country crumbles.
Silent, to the pain all ‘round.
Silent. For one doesn’t know what to do.
Silent, to the fathers’ cry.
Silent, to the burning of right.
Silent, to the death of liberty.
Silent. For one doesn’t want to fight.
Silent, as hearts are hardened.
Silent, as tongues fly.
Silent, as the souls a…[Read more]

I like your poem. 🙂 I’ve heard of the Wingfeather Saga, but haven’t read the books yet. Your poem makes me want to read them even more!

Look into the sky, little heart, and see the twinkling distant reaches.
This is the last night.
We all smelled it. We all tasted it. We all heard it. We all felt it. We all saw it.
This is the last night.
So little heart, reach your heart out: The stars are yours if you just reach.
Go beyond the implants tangled in your body.
Go bey…[Read more]

You enter, but leave your body behind. You can walk away but you can never leave. Not truly. We can always find you, darling. You remain in our cyborverse. Once you enter you can never leave. No one can stop you here if you’re good enough. There is no justice, there are no rules, no system, no confines. You are alone. But we’re always here, dar…[Read more]

A Wingfeather Saga poem about Throne Wardens. Not that great at poetry, but I’m working on it.
The Throne Warden.
Courageous, loyal, true,
Protector of his siblings’ life and freedom,
Learner of the Word,
Keeper of not just pen, but also sword,
Hearer of the sea dragons song,
Warrior against Gnag’s wrong,
Artham with his wings,
Janner…[Read more]

Its the little things in life, you know? Thunderclaps, lightning strikes, a cute little brother in your lap, a quirky kid’s show on the TV. Little things.
It really puts life in perspective.
Especially when you realize you don’t have a little brother and you don’t know what day it is and this is not your house and that is not a thunderstorm.

@jennythefaun Couldn’t tell the LoTR reference from reading it, and it would be fine anyway. I published a poem that was even more directly inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale a couple years back.
I really like the title, and great concept. My advice is to drop the rhymes. As one of my creative writing professors once said, the best poems don’t r…[Read more]

Ray Bradbury said “Write a new short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.” So technically this challenge starts with him. I think. Feel free to write a short story about that!
Anyway, THIS challenge is that only 52 short stories are completed, with a preference for the horror genre. BUT any genre is a…[Read more]
