how many are we here? i see that there are loads of writers of all types by looking at people's profiles.
are youa writer and what do you write about?
maybe give us a sample? oh wait a minute - nevermind, that can only lead to chaos.

I'm a writer, and I'll have a lot of samples available in a month or two.

My boyfriend is a writer. www.sunwolfpress.com He publishes other people's stuff as well. One of my poems is in the articles section.

I used to write a lot...School has caused that to go from being a hobby to being a chore, though. I'm looking forward to the end of school so I can write for myself again...

I've had a few articles published and I have a book manuscript that's been done!



And no Lleena! It's not "Thread Making for Dummies"!

right so let's get some examples up in here.

In a Crowd, by Vina Blue

I can leave empty beer bottles on the ground
I can throw trash in the dirt
I can step on cans in the grass and keep walking
I’m independent


I can build a fire as tall as me
I can throw marshmallows and aerosol cans into it
I can walk away and leave it burning all night
I’m independent


Someone else can clean up after me
Someone else can pay for my mistakes
Someone else can die for my sins
I’m independent


I can bear children and teach them my ways
I can buy illegal items (in another country) and use
them when I get home
I can hide in a crowd
I’m independent


Daddy pays for my tuition and my apartment
Boys buy me what I want, when I want it
I can impose my life into someone else’s window
I’m independent


I can hear children screaming and not think to help
I can act like I don’t see you when we cross paths
I can believe I’m right and everyone else is wrong
I’m independent


Nothing I do affects anyone else
Nothing you do affects me
I’m telling you, I don’t need you
Aw fuck, I’m just being rebellious


Where’s my shoe?

Blood by Melissa White

Crimson.
Its thickness
Spun in water
Washing through
My vains
Trapped within
The confinement
Of my flesh
And waiting…
Waiting in anticipation
For that sudden
Gash by a knife
Or broken
Wound.

Blood rushes
To my head
My hands,
My feet.

It is a substance
Of life
Blood
Is love
Is pain
Excruciating…

Blood is Blood
But not
In vain.



The Reclusive: Repercussion of the Past by Melissa White

There was no coffee
On the coffee table
Only old papers,
Old magazines
With their hearts torn out
With eager haste,
And left lying,
Mutilated
To waste

There were old photos,
Memories
Too bitter to taste
Was the coffee
Sucked dry
By the endless conversation?
And the cake, gone,
Eaten
Like the words
Which endlessly
Rolled off your flapping tongue
With no deliberation?
Or was there coffee at all?
Were you with someone
Yet alone, taking to a brick wall?
There was no coffee
On the coffee table
Just dust.



I also have a novella..its a fantasy novel i wrote 3 years ago called "Queen of Slumber, King of Dreams" (c). I have a whole heap of chapters on that one if anyone wants to know what its about, u can ask
