…so I’m hoping it’s okay for me to jump in, but if not feel free to ignore this…

also please excuse my terrible usage of telling too much and the poor formatting and horrible transitions XD

For a while she was silent. Then with a huff…

@acancello

That’s what I was thinking, but we can wait and see if there are more ideas.

@acancello

Alright! Hmm… Let’s see. I’ll just try to think of a few random ideas.

The Secret Door

The Forbidden Portal

In Too Deep

Far from Home

These are pretty vague, but I didn’t really have enough info to think of something better. 😅🤣

@esther-c

Heheh I think I gave a rough cliffhanger there.  😅🤣

Any ideas for the next part of the story?

@acancello @janellebelovedpig @mineralizedwritings @starshiness @godlyfantasy12 @kyrontheracanin

Oooh, so I don’t have any ideas for the next part of the story, but I think the boy should be named Griffin or Silas. I can’t choose which. 😛

@elanor Thank you!! Your poem is beautiful as well; what a joy to be inspired by the attributes of our God and create poetry from it in our meditations!

@janellebelovedpig Thanks! 😊 Well kinda! I’ve never had to lose someone close to me or have a friend who had to “fight to live” in that sense, but the prompt this grew from was “give someone a…[Read more]

Idk how often we’re circling back, but here:

The girl’s hands flew to her hips and she skewered me with her glare. “Why do you, a complete stranger, need to know my business? Isn’t that kind of nosy?”

I shrugged. “Maybe. Let’s just start with your name, t…[Read more]

@acancello I do!! Poetry is such a fun genre to explore, not to mention it’s satisfying to write something short you can actually finish… unlike my novel WIP… 😂 Here’s one of my really short poems where I experimented with spacing and condensation of thought through metaphor.

Dandelions

Embodiment of

Dreams

Ok! Here it is! Feel free to critique it as needed. This was written very hurriedly because I was supposed to be making lunch…but I knew if I didn’t write it down I’d loose it. 🙂

To the Friend I Once Knew

Years have passed since we’ve been in touch

The friendship we shared has faded,

Drifting into memories I envy so much,

@acancello

I do write poetry occasionally. Usually ideas come to me at the most random times. The most recent one I wrote was about lost friendship. I can share it if you want!

@acancello

Sometimes I write prayers as poems/songs:

Thank You Lord that I’m no longer

lost as to my future

or hopeless as to my past.

the pain, terrors, fears and failures I thought would last

instead have melted away

in the light of the rays

of Your wondrous grace

and mercies new with the dawn.

Or little devotional thoughts:

When in the…

@acancello @kyronthearcanin @janellebelovedpig @mineralizedwritings OOH I wanna go!!

I glance at my watch; How is it already so late? It might be best to go home. I have no clue where I’m going, and the girl is nowhere to be seen.

I turn to walk out the tree I came out of, to find the opening is gone. My heart beats quickly. It was just her…[Read more]

@acancello @janellebelovedpig @mineralizedwritings

I’m a little late, but here…

With a stunning light, I am somewhere else. Where, I don’t know, but I know it is far, far away from the place I knew. Yellowed grass spreads out in a wide circle around the tree I’m in, and from there it gets greener until there are hills, and trees beyond them.…[Read more]

Oooh! Fun!!

@acancello @janellebelovedpig @mineralizedwritings

I cock my head as she disappears into the portal. I go up to the tree and try to open the door. It opens much easier than I expected. The light shines out, blinding me. With a smile and my curiosity getting the better of me, I walk through…

(Don’t know why that was in pre…[Read more]

@acancello

I write poems occasionally! 😀 My more recent poems are better than some of the ones I wrote like two years ago. XD
