Premium Member Peter Periwinkle
“Peter Periwinkle had a car accident,” my brother said, as if reading it aloud from the back of a cereal box. It took me three full seconds to realize he meant our father. We were on my grandma’s farm where she had recently died, leaving chickens scratching unknowingly in the dust. Our father was elsewhere— broken, back bent like a paperclip, drunk at the wheel when the other car...

Premium Member Under the mantle of night, full of hidden meanings
Under the mantle of night, full of hidden meanings, Where stars dance their stories in silence, There lies a world where vocations drown in shadows, Children with grand dreams, trapped in dusty golden cages, In the name of egalitarian humanism, they disperse in the cold wind. Schools, temples of logic and unfeeling iron rules, Bury geniuses under mantles of conformity and...

Red As Blood and Wool of Wail
The wound becomes inward like the pink moon after a little rain. It glows and then becomes red as the blood and the wool of the wail dangling white like a sheep in the wind. And this thorn that now curves in your breast; you will not bring to the garden nor to the throned light. It lies at your...

If you love 1 & they love 2 We'll then notice That 3 also grew If 4 gives more Than just closing the door 5 grows & 6 will light the room 12 now shines While 100 changed minds 100 now shown their not alone With 100 more now reborn Time streams by In our impatient lives Waiting on the moon To explode An...

Premium Member Expressions Diverse Meanings Same
She sobbed, screamed, screeched, squealed… He howled, hollered, hissed, hooted… The hearing seemed tug-of-war-filled. The judge smiled and said: "Equaled! So, your wish to reunite is confirmed!'

The Art In Our Heart
The heart of our soul and mind. Look deeper, there is an art to find. Anger for the moments of frustration. Depression for the thoughts of deprivation. Guilt is for the choices of regret. Disappointment for what we expect. Humiliation takes awhile to dissipate Resentment runs deeper than hate. Ignorance for whatever you neglect Reminiscence for everything...

A Brief Guide To My Words and Their Meanings
You won’t see these word in a shop window printed across a smiling face, or embossed, engraved, or scribbled; probably not daubed on toilet stall walls yet. They belong to the Net, a pliable device that floats to the top of a running river of white water. If you have the skill to spear fish you might catch one or two, but I am afraid they will...
