  The One She'd Never Known

  

  By sunnyhunny, Litchfield, NH

  The memories she chokes on Have her sprawled out on the floor. A grimace gentle lips don. Wrenching sobs make dear souls sore. She curls up in a chamber Of a beating broken heart. Though this soul holds no anger, In time the fire will start. The shock sends stinging shivers Through t...

  Love Until the End Hath Come

  

  By sunnyhunny, Litchfield, NH

  Hark to the faster beating of my heart As my eyes see that time hath grown much less. Wherefore dost we leave so near from the start? The thought hath haunted me, I must confess. Ere present, in thy early days of youth, I admired the blank tapestry in awe. Anon, I start to feel the chill of tr...

  Writer's Block

  

  By sunnyhunny, Litchfield, NH

  Words, I summon you wherever you may be in the dark chambers in the dungeon of the mind. Oh, the immensity of the task at hand, stinging phrases together into a tapestry called poem. Do they lurk within me in the shadows of my thoughts, awaiting the transformation into rich language? When...

  By sunnyhunny, Litchfield, NH

  Light your lantern so that when I open my blind eyes I may see a beacon in the darkness. Call out my name and I will open my deaf ears to your welcome voice. Help me to coax my tortoise heart out of its rigid shell so that I may open that, also, and at last I can open my floodgates ...

  Hats for Jenny

  

  By sunnyhunny, Litchfield, NH

  My own dilemmas seemed minuscule as I tried to grasp what my mom had just told me. Aunt Jenny had been diagnosed with breast cancer? No way. I knew that my mom would never lie or – God forbid – joke about something like that, but I still couldn't believe it. I had seen my aunt just that week, an...

  “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is definitely one of the greatest novels I have read in my fourteen years. I fear that I will not be able to do it justice in only a few paragraphs because I lack words to describe the way it latched onto my soul as I hungrily turned its pages. “The Book Thie...

  Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
