@daeus It’s tomorrow. 😀 No, it really is. Even though the time has flown by, it is definitely tomorrow. Plus we have just end day light savings. (Or started. I’m not sure which one.) So when I post this it should be nearly 7pm over there.

Hm, yes @spradlin… though that might more denote (get it? Denote? *sigh* Okay, that was really bad) a… community for sharing noteworthy thoughts than a blog of just one person’s noteworthy thoughts.

I don’t know… thoughts?

Yes. I did just use ‘thoughts’ way too many times in one paragraph.

Ah— gotcha @Daeus. Thanks so much.

Yes, I know what you mean… it’s funny, but I’ve tried over and over and over to poeticize (like my made up word? 😛 ) about an object, but for some reason I can only do it about really deep thoughts. Concepts, if you will. Like with this one, I wanted to take the word ‘love’, which is so commonly misused…[Read more]

WAIT WHAT NO @SPRADLIN REALLY??? I can’t imagine why… 😛

Eh… that might be a bit of a reach. 😉

Let’s see. *waits for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*still waits for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*continues to wait for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*concludes that there is no such thing as a bolt from the blue, and as for inspiration, it is a fallacious fairytale our teachers…[Read more]

We were posting at the same time @spradlin! 😀

Thanks for the pointers— I can see how that would be a problem, definitely. Would it work, do you think, to cut each line in half, where most of them have a slant rhyme with the middle of the prior line?

Thanks, @Daeus and @faithdk!

Couple questions, Daeus… ‘toil’ is a one syllable word. ???
Also, I’m not quite sure what you meant about replacing ‘cruel’ with ‘and’… I can’t seem to grasp what specific changes you were getting at.
And… oh yeah. Oops. He did lose his shield, didn’t he? *gulp* Man, that’s embarrassing. 😛
All your other…[Read more]

Wow, @kate-flournoy! I don’t normally like poetry that much, but believe me, you have a masterpiece here. 😉 I really enjoyed reading it!

Daeus got mostly everything. But I would change this,

To this:

Oh, and @overcomer… 😛 😉

@spradlin, @hislittlerose, @jadamae… you guys are all poets. What do you think?

Okay @Daeus, @hope, @anyone-else-who-liked this, I’ve been working over it, and I think I’ve got it finished. I want to publish it with KP, but I want to know what you guys think of it first. Without further ado, here it is in it’s entirety.

And just because, here’s the link to the music I was listening to when I wrote the last verse. I think it…[Read more]

Wow, that’s great @bluejay. 🙂 Keep it up! And yeah, I think there are other states like that too. There’s a Union City, California and a Union City, Tennessee… probably even more.

Coming from you, I’m sure it’s great.

Thanks @faithdk. That’s really sweet of you. Hopefully it will work out so you can read it. It is 6,686 words at the moment, which is my longest story yet.

Wow, that’s an interesting fact about Ohio and Indiana.

@bluejay, one Indiana city bordering Ohio is Union City, and it’s actually pretty interesting because it is split between the two states (which is why it’s called “Union” City). Thus you have Union City, OH and Union City, IN. 😀 Its zip code is 47390. Some of its street names include: Ball Park Rd, Beverly Dr, Boggs Ave, Cadwallader St, and North…[Read more]

Thanks @hope. Yep. That will work really well. I appreciate it.
