Premium Member COMPARING STORIES
It’s early morning…I’m looking into empty bedrooms… when I smile…stop…and stare… Although our children have all grown…I can see them sleeping there. We’ve read them a bedtime story…they’ve long since lost count of sheep when we peek into their bedrooms and pause…to watch them sleep. In those quiet moments of the evening…as light seeps in from the hall we wonder how...

Are You Comparing Me
Are you comparing me? To the others before me The others in your life Ex-girlfriends, ex-lovers, ex-wife? How did I do? Did I surprise you? When I showed another side One you never knew There are other sides of me I do hide You need to peel them back layer by layer There’s no better compliment That you can pay her Than by comparing her To those in...

Premium Member Comparing Your Poems Is Not a Great Thing To Do
No matter how wonderful your writing is Someone else will say it better with a pen that is more magical Sometimes with poetry, other times with prose To compare your missive to theirs is to turn your poem into a dust rag. It could get moldy and dank, and stinky; you might elect to throw it into a ditch. Whether...

Comparing Fantasies To a Decorated Cake
An old sweetheart of mine never believed in daytime dreams, because they shattered quickly and shaking her unconvinced head silly words came out of her mouth admitting, " Aren't fantasies unrealistic dreams... when they appear more tempting then a cake with irresistible frosting? And while she cut it with careful fingers, " The outside tasted very sweet, but the inside looked kind...

Comparing Two Seasons
Should a winter's frigid sky be as clear as the coolest spring day? Peaceful is Nature with its frosted, naked trees that the lightest breeze won't make swing, I hear their lament, " Long is winter, short are the days! " Why has the purple finch stopped warbling? Mom walks in carrying a paper bag full of groceries, my sisters run...

Premium Member Poetry Contests Are Silly
Poetry contests. How ridiculous. Silly even. It is like comparing: dogs with underarms, underarms with toothbrushes, toothbrushes with giraffes, giraffes with garden parties, garden parties with throw pillows, throw pillows with coffee cups, coffee cups with light switches, light switches with spitballs, spitballs with cinnamon buns, cinnamon buns with alligators, alligators with rubies, rubies with motorcycles, motorcycles with sumo wrestlers, sumo wrestlers with bubble gum, bubble gum with...
