- Fiction > Realistic FictionThe first things we noticed in the pretty pink trashcan were the photographs.

Protect...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou and I are both the same, Yet, we are different, We live in the same family, Yet, you speak differently from me, You act differently.

- Poetry > Free VerseNo matter how many times The wall is painted over It will never be as crisp and white As it was when I first saw it.

- Poetry > HaikuYou watch me with a laugh I never thought I would love Like I do right now. Your skin smells of lime, Is it silly that I notice? I don’t hate you now. I don’t understand, Why I smile at you gaily, But you make me blush. I’m confused by you, And your strange, funny antiques, Bu...
- Poetry > Free VerseThey are there to stub Your toe on. They are out there to get You. One minute, You think your safe And the next, POW, your toe is burning like fire. They are there to bother you.
