Jessie

When Jessie started worked for Mr. Humphrey, she had no idea how she’d come to feel about him. In the mornings, while she prepared breakfast for the family, he’d stomp down the stairs bracing the laughing Robin upon his shoulders. How grateful My. Humphrey had always seemed for the meal, as if it wasn’t Jessie’s […]

Graduating in Toronto

He was Caesar, and we, his faithful mob. We lifted him onto our shoulders, chanting his name with steely purpose. “Colland! Colland!” I screamed, my voice falling apart like brittle crust. Still, I mustered a last cry, “Colland!” as my larynx melted. I was a clown, adorned in bright, heart-speckled genie-pants, with hair like Don […]

Yet a Daisy, Dreaming of Death

I teetered on the edge of a precipice so elevated that winds buffeted my hair and almost ripped my clothes off. I wore soft cotton pajamas, the kind with the detachable behind. My collar, loosely buttoned, snapped and whipped off my body. Were my clothes trying to escape the height? Jesters with rainbow hats grinned […]

Brutus

Another creative writing piece, this one is freshly typed, no editing, etcetera. Leave suggestions if you want, I may not listen to them (since this won’t be graded harshly). Their eyes fell on him like the daggers they withdrew from hidden folds of their tunics. The Liberators waited for Caesar to turn his back, delivering […]

My Mother and I

My mother’s brows were tattooed above her eyes in broad black strokes. In my salad days, when she was my greatest love, I thought her lips were tattoos as well those rigid pink strips as they were locked in a perpetual frown. It was only in recent years that smiles were no longer strangers; for […]

Shadows

Shadows Catch me if you can Subject me to your plan Just be sure its me you seek and not the man I was last week Chase the blood and bone you and I, alone Chase the who I am, Not the shadow of the man.

Meeting Her

The following is the first draft of a piece written for WRIT220. It is approximately 1000 words long, so I realize most of you will not have the patience to read it. If you don’t read it, don’t comment. Otherwise, comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated. Some of the hypens should be dashes instead, and […]

Venting Anger

It’s amazing to me the intricacies of the human mind. Product of eons of evolution or of a hand sublime? The choice matters little when your brains starts to boil, when you soil your new blouse, when your hours into toil The problem with life is the stress that wears on you sadness is a […]

A Thread Himself

Clay molded by fingers grand came unto earthly, dire sand wandered, lost and muddled once naked now clothed, still, befuddled. How dost humbled now, the pair, cast out from their utopian share. But what and whose plan did inact causing them to break their pact? Oh nemesis, genesis of misfortune, schemer, crusader for ethereal portion, […]

Betrayal

Serpentine compatriots with their click-click-click ambush good sense and defy amicable intentions. They slither and creep, cross the deep ravine–ravenous hunger. Hunger. Hunger–the proof of breath and dew. Slippery crags, beware! Dashed against my mind. Competition is hardly an idea. Cling to my safe side.

We Belong Together

Here’s a poem I wrote to Lisa awhile ago, but forgot to give her… hehe sorry darling! Talk of love and devotion is sweet and all But if you recall There are many ways that love can fall. It seems often these days That couples in the gushy phase Court through crazed acts and grand […]

That Night

Thank you for all your props and comments people! I REALLY appreciate them!! That Night (Dedicated to Lisa of course!) globs of purple rain had fallen to the softly padded ground. If one were to look shards of glass could be found. The remains of a glistening goblet shattered semblance of what once was reflected […]

Give(st) Me A Chance!

3 Poems?? You may be wondering… No, I’m not feeling especially prolific today… just very in love and very inspired! Give(st) Me A Chance! “Milady”, said the knave to the queen, “I beg a pittance of your time– though truth be told, I’m unworthy of something so sublime.” “Gentle servant,” began the queen, “What troubles […]

Love or Lust?

Love sat to my starboard side and Lust at my left they asked me to quickly make my choice lest I be left bereft. Oh Lust you’re so conniving! You undermine my will! Yet caught in your passionate throes is quite an awesome thrill. You make me think with my lesser head so I look […]
