Best Short Stories Poems


Short Stories

The little boy laughs as he runs, his grandfather struggles to catch him.
The little girl giggles and peeks over the pew as her mother prays.
The old woman in a veil and gloves neatly folds her handkerchief.
The man wipes sweat from his face as he lays down his axe.
The old woman slowly walks down the lane as her dog struggles to keep up.
The teacher looks at his watch as his student reads his report.
The man slams the door behind him as his wife shouts. 
The little boy dances as he pulls the fish from the water.
The little girl smiles as she smears lipstick on her face.
Daddy is frowning and she is laughing on that first bicycle ride.
The dog howls as they take the old man away.
The new bride smiles and falls into her husbands arms.
Mother worries that her husband will not return.
The man throws the hammer and grabs his thumb.
Young eyes twinkle as Grandma brings the turkey to the table.
Mother brushes the hair out of her sleeping baby’s eyes.
Baby and puppy joyfully roll on the ground.
The old dog lays his head in her lap.
Grandma pats her husband’s hand one last time.
The young soldier waves good bye to his family.
Dad's eyes swell with tears as he gives her away.
Papa can barely remove his shoes after work.
The young boy taps his head with the pencil as he takes the test.
The little girl pours tea and hands the empty cup to her teddy bear.
Dad waves to his son as he gets on the bus.
Mom and Dad clap as home plate is crossed.
Daddy eats the little messy birthday cake.
Mommy pulls her new baby to her breast.
The woman puts ice on her eye and cries.
The writer yawns and lays down his pen.

Short Stories She Would Sing

if February don't end soon
heart shaped people make me sick
if February doesn't end soon
i've got nothing your smile can fix

twenty eight days
twenty eight days without your son
and i would've cursed you once more
i would've left you for more
you never forced me through your door
but i would've left for more

from you to me
this was my gift to you 
tell me nice things
yes i want to hear you sing
if you're at all here for me
tell me what i say just isn't true

tell February goodbye
heart shaped people leave me ill
tell February goodbye
don't forget the love you kill

fourteen nights into this day
fourteen days without you at night
i don't want to see twenty eight 
without you by my side
i couldn't leave you for more 
outside your door
i couldn't leave you for more

have u ever really been loved before
have you ever admired the life you lose 
what time will you be in tonight
i won't wait up for you 
things just may change

I hope you like it.


Short Stories....

Allegorical

                 Metaphorical

                         Deeply personal....

Premium Member Where Are My Short Stories To Reply To

I wrote a short story 
About the Chee Chee Mong
someone commented on it
I want to rely on the comment
So i tried several times 
Each time I tried -
Nothing happened
So I tried again
I ended with the 
same results
I went to search for my problem
i saw a lot of articles of my short story
I did not see my short story. 
i do not know how to reach my shrt story
So I  thought i would ask a poet
i pressed my poems to press a poet to ask 
i pressed edit  and now iI ae trouble with that. 
Now I am very upset.
