Summary:

Forgotten Soul I can still smell her scent on my pillow sometimes I think she is still here When I think she is opening the door I find it is just the wind mocking my longing of her existence She used to light up my world She gave off a light that seemed to illuminate even the darkest rooms of my heart Now those rooms are locked and starless and I've thrown away the key The world is now a loveless place A miserable prison I love him But how long can someone love a memory Before they too became a lost and forgotten soul

I'd like to thank everyone for commenting on this piece; I've taken your advice (think I fixed everyting?) and here is the rewrite. Please let me know what else I can change or if I've forgotten anything (most likely I have). Thank you again! This is a true story about me. It's taken 11 yrs to write and has proven to be the toughest thing I've ever wrtten about, but that's really not saying much. In the essence of making sense, I've taken the liberty of messing with the time line a little. Please let me know what you think about this and be honest. Thanks for reading this!

Summary:

This is my first serious attempt at a novel. The theme is roughly about how art can save your life. Since it will be ever evolving, I can't sum it up entirely, but the main character is a man, and it chronicles his life, as he watches a devastation happen to his artist mother, through the joys and sorrows of marriage and fatherhood, and so much more set from the 60's to present time.

Summary:

FATHERLIKE is about a woman dealing with her father’s desertion of her as a child, her husband coming to terms with his sexuality, their separation and battle for custody of their son, the consequences of deceit, and love’s ignorance of convention. It tracks the parallel stories of an estranged husband and wife as they come to terms with their own and their family’s secrets; of love, money, sexuality, paternity, and even a father’s death. The fight for their child, across countries and cultures, ultimately forces them to face certain truths.

Sonny suggested I give this lovely little art form a try. I resisted the urge for about five minutes and then decided to butcher it, as I've been known to butcher other art forms. If you're offended by cursing please don't read this.

Summary:

This is my attempt at a villanelle in iambic tetrameter. I know nothing about poetry, so I hope I got this right. This rigid poetry consists of 19 lines: 5 tercets and 1 quatrain. The 1st line of the 1st tercet has to be the last of the 2nd and 4th. The last line of the 1st tercet has to be the last of the 3rd and 5th. Then those two repeated lines have to end the quatrain. The rhyming structure is basically like a stack of Oreos, all the chocolate cookies have to rhyme, and all the cream filling has to rhyme. And at the very bottom is an extra chocolate piece. :)
