Hey y’all!

I’m brand new here but I’ve been writing for quite a few years now… never finished any WIPs, but this time I’m bound and determined to. However, I was wondering if any of you would be interested in reading my “introduction” and first chapter. I honestly am not sure if I like it or if it is intriguing enough for readers to want to…[Read more]

Oops, forgot that I had written a poem for my book and posted it on my profile. Sorry!

@sam-m

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]

@kimlikesart

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]

@kylie-wingfeather

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!

That…

Was…

Beautiful.

Thank you for putting that up. Definitely made my day. Thank you!

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]

@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]
