“Speak of Love much greater than me”

Might’ve been better as two lines, but oh well. xD

“Speak of Love much greater than me”

Might’ve been better as one life, but oh well. xD

‘For wind and rain and leaf and tree’

This is going to be either a crowning achievement or a crowning mess. Who cares which one? The point is to do it. This is fun!

“Then, I feel at home.”

@Rosey — Haha! Thanks 🙂 And maybe I will! Thanks for suggesting it 😉

Great great, now we need to go somewhere. We need a “then …” type of line.

Great job, Sarah! It almost looks like it could be a song.
Don’t enter it in the lyrics contest, though. That would be…. very strange.

“When raindrops tumble off the eaves”

Dang, only one line at a time?

Oops— whisper, not whispers. Sorry.

‘You know you’re a writer when you have pages and pages of sentences and ideas for stories that you will write someday.’

YES.

Normal people have no idea…

“And whispers through the fading grass”

Good idea, Daeus. This should be at once ridiculously fun and instructive.

Definitely a really interesting question, Shaina! I’d say the answer to this question, too, (in writing, albeit) is always yes. For me, the real question is usually “Is it possible to do it well?/Do I think I can do this well?” And if that’s the case, then DO IT! Another couple of helpful questions are “Why do I want to do this?/Is it…[Read more]

Jumping back a bit to the “original question,” I’ve always really liked the idea of names as titles (if it fits), and Edwin Brook has a pretty awesome ring to it, so I’d say it fits. 🙂 If not the title of the whole book, definitely like the title of Chapter 1 or the prologue. *nodding*

@Hope — Dudette, that one is pretty deep. I’m sitting here thinking through it (which for me is the sign of a good poem). I always want to leave the reader with something to puzzle out or think on (again, that’s just me. :P) I definitely like poem as a whole. It reads a little bit choppily, but I think that helps to give this impression of two…[Read more]

Hi, Jada!

This is a question that I’ve struggled with a lot myself, and it’s one of my ongoing investigations. For me, the answer is yes. The MC in my current WIP is the heir-apparent and will be queen of a nation. So, for me, I think it’s is totally okay and cool to have a queen or princess in your book who leads. I don’t think there’s a problem…[Read more]

@Tatiana Poetry is awesome, poetry is stirring, poetry is fun, poetry helps you write better, poetry is not that hard.

@Sarah Spradlin Just to let you know, the last three lines were my favorite part. I wouldn’t change them. They tie the poem together.

So…any comments about how realistic it would be for a laser weapon with a certain range; where it is lethal inside that range but evaporates or something once it reaches a preset distance?

Here’s a ‘poem’ of sorts I wrote a while back. Most of the lines just came to me as I was knitting. I don’t know if there is any proper pattern, but the rhythm seems to work.

Two Gifts

Two gifts there were
Given to man.
The first can be taken
But not given.
The second can be given
But not restored.

Many think of the first as white
And the…[Read more]
