Here’s the second one.

Freedom at Last
Spangled bars and glistening stars
Stitched in crimson, white and blue
Blood-stained graves of the soldiers true
Haunt the heart of their comrades coming home with scars.

They say freedom isn’t truly free
With them I’d have to agree
Some hearts realize there’s more to this
Than life, liberty and pursuit of…[Read more]

Hey friends and fellow writers!

So… I need help. I have a character who is kind of an avalanche of bitterness. She hates the situation she’s in, she hates the people around her, she hates herself…. Yeah… she’s kind of a mess.

Anyway, I’ve given this a lot of thought (I’ve been drafting this story for about five years now), and I’ve decided…[Read more]

@w-o-holmes I’m a little late to the discussion, but I want to say that I love this poem! I think the word choice is especially good. When reading it, it just feels good in your mouth, if that makes sense. The physical aesthetic of it rolls off the tongue well.

Fabulous work!

Does this become our characters’ story or do they still have the past we gave them in our individual stories? That will definitely affect my part
