Premium MemberGuaranteed No Characters Were Hurt

Come on champ, do it for the story,
for metaphor and allegory.

     Get away from me.  Are you cracked?
     In all your stories, I get whacked. 

     Give me some space with that cattle prod,

Four Characters

Four men in a boat,
afloat in the ocean.
The winds are still,
the sails have no motion.
The Optimist waits for the winds
with great anticipation.
The Pessimist shakes his head 
and curses in quite desperation.
The Fatalist begins to cry
and screams, "We're going to die!
The Realist lets out a Rebel Yell,
takes a drink of whiskey 
and calmly adjusts the sails!

Characters Of A Zealous Person

Being humble
Gives mind space
Set mark up high.

Gratitude means
Plain attitude
Clear bright way sign.

Where the road ends
Inquiry search
To go beyond.

Under the sun
All can be done
With zealous hand.

Perspective Characters Of Life

Without risk, there's no reward
Without pain, there is no growth
Without honesty, there is no clarity
Without trust, there is no friendship
Without discipline, there is no success
Without commitment, there is no love
Without investment, there is no wealth
Without guts, there is no glory
Without self reflection, there is no progress
Without imagination, there are no new things.

Inauguration Day 2025 - Monday, January 20, 2025, 12:00?PM

Aforementioned event interestingly enough
coincides with Martin Luther King Junior day.

The late reverend American minister and activist,
now and forever more immortalized in the promised land
despite his work among the living left incomplete,
this day eclipsed by commencement
of the forty seventh president of the United States.

Founding fathers graves housing their

Premium MemberLaceless Shoes

Inexplicably they appear in memory from time to time
the characters of the long-faded autumns and dim winters
Condescending, always ready to pry
to pick on, to step on, to say a loud word
and suddenly get caught like a nail on a remark
thrown by someone at random, like a pebble in the water
An unstoppable verbal tsunami pours in,
having

My comic book world and cartoon characters

My comic book world and cartoon characters

I created a new world with comics.
Cartoons were playing with people who magically came to life.
The characters are strong for those who commit sin and triumph over death.
The most used chemical in one of the world fragments on the planet Infinity was soil.


All of them were lost and little

Characters

who are the characters in my dreams?
I see different faces
they are me
saying things
making choices
surprising me with my own thoughts
I argue with myself 
I agree with myself
in a crowd of myselfs
and when I wake
I am made whole again

Premium MemberWe as Characters of Narratives

Each of us is born the main persona
in the narrative of his or her own life.
Through ever-changing atmosphere, 
supporting characters and diversity of settings, 
we help to mold the rising action of our own tale.
A great variety of characters abound in our stories.
Some of them, bright pennies tossed into existence,
spin wildly on exploits which make

Premium MemberFeathers of Pride and Humility

In twilight's realm where...
moonbeams entwine.
There are two owls engaged...
in a contrast of minds:
A Great Horned Owl so proud and strong!
And a Great Gray Owl whis is cunning and long.

Amidst the trees their feathers shone,
"Who is the wisest?" their voices cried...

As their debate ignited, fierce and esteemed,
Their claims soared through the moonlit tide.

Their egos clashed, each

A Writer's Heart

Building lands, lives, loves, with words, from the bottom up.
Crafting hierarchies, creatures, laws and sins,
spinning worlds, oceans, rain and wind.

Beings wild, loyal, devious, strong and weak,
righteous, loving, demure, naïve and meek,
all different, unique, in features, personalities,
showing the duality of their complexities. 

Some may use humor to win over hearts,
others don't care if emotions ever start,
those
