Short stories and poetry
I figured it was time that I gave links to the things that I wrote that were not the articles, but fiction or poetry. I thought my readers may like direct links rather than searching for them.
If you're wondering about those short stories I said I posted, here they are:
Among The Lilies This is my longest short story EVER. (Honestly, when I started writing this, I wanted to try to write a novel, but it just was not working.)
The Santa Conspiracy I love this story because it's just so odd.
Religion is in the Heart This is just a fun little story.
Ol' Roscoe This story is one that I like. I actually did a lot of research into the details for this story.
Now, for the poems I posted at AC:
Picking Tea This is a sweet little poem that was inspired by a picture printed on a bulletin cover.
The Mysteries of God This is one of my favorite poems because I was able to write it and it's completely true.
Fantasies This poem captures the feelings I have when I sit at Joe Muggs in Books-A-Million.
Loraine I like this poem because even though my grandmother died when I was quite young, I've always felt close to her.
Cutter I've never struggled with this particular problem, but I like the haunting feelings and images of this poem. I do not know how true it is for all who have struggled with this poem, but I've been told that it is quite true for some.
Creation Retold This is fun poem for me that combines religious beliefs with the Gaia Theory.
When the Muslim Woman Prays This was based solely on an observation of a woman I saw praying every day at McNeese.
The Certanties of Faith I don't have much to say about this poem other than I was thinking about faith. It's not even really "my" beliefs.
The Swimmer by Ryan I wrote this poem for CJ when he showed me a painting called "The Swimmer" by an artist named Ryan.
Thinking of Becca while Admiring Klimt's Danea I wrote this for Becca after she showed me Klimt's Danea.
Icarus Hopes I wrote this poem quickly before going to bed, honestly, it was the night before taking the Mensa test and I was extremely tired. Yet, it is one of my favorite poems.
Porn This poem is quite different for me, but it was an intriguing idea for a poem.
Nostalgia Yep, nostalgia triggered this poem and yes, it was written when I was 21.
Ashley's Poem This is basically a "found poem." The words are taken from a journal entry of a journal I used to read.
Movies This was just a fun little poem to write.
The Bible This was a poem I wrote way back in 2000. I was still figuring out where I best fit as far as my faith as well. The commandments tend to be listed in the way many Seventh Day Adventists view them.
A Mother's View I don't know what inspired the abortion theme, but I wrote these poems (this one and the next two) when I had to attend a stupid Cutco meeting.
Aborted See above.
Abortion See two above.
Colors Just based off of the typical questions like "what color would anger be?"
Prince Charming Just a fun little poem, and yeah, channeling my own feelings, especially at that time, but other times as well.
Towel Yes, I wrote this poem after I took a shower. It's another of my favorites.
Do I Know You? My thoughts, kind of based on the song, "Once Upon a Dream."
What If Place Another of my favorite poems. I was inspired to write this while watching Behind the Waterfall with the youngins at St. Paul awhile ago.
The Mad Potter of Biloxi Yes, it's a poem about George Ohr. I was watching a television special about him.
Duet Yes, I was inspired to write this when I watched Music and Lyrics. And yes, it is "compose," as "compase" is just a typo.
One Way Another poem written thinking about faith. This one reflects "my" faith more than others, though not as well as "The Mysteries of God."
Rain Walking This was a sound poem, and yes, it came to mind when it was raining. It was just a fun poem to write.
