NEW CHAPTER: Commentary on John Keats. This is a collection of short pieces, some autobiographical and some more objective, about certain authors and my thoughts about them. As I write short bits of this nature I'll add them as chapters here.

Theodwita is an Anglo-Saxon word roughly meaning "Historian" or "Loremaster". In this piece I tried to capture the essence of that idea. I'm not sure if it works or not, but I'm trying to set it to music anyway. Why isn't Historical one of the genres here

Three pieces about Feathersorg the Penguin which I wrote in 2006. Each is a very different style, and all three are surpassingly silly.

A monologue concerning the woods. I'm of the opinion that this piece describes itself and any prefatory statements on my part will only bore the reader and delay reading the actual piece, which is relatively short anyway.

This is an attempt to write a character who has almost nothing in common with myself. It's a first-person monologue and somewhat experimental for me. I think the writing style may have suffered because of the narrator, but it's still quite readable.

A young man from the eighteenth century meets his sister from the twentieth. This story has time travel in it, lots of it. It also has a great deal of long, archaic sentences; the narrator is from the 1700's so I took some liberties with the style.

This story may or may not be true. Likewise, it may or may not be hilarious. I can assure you, though, that is isn't very good.

I was playing around stylistically and came up with a story told with the very minimum of facts. I apologize for the horizontal lines in the middle of the text, the system wouldn't let me use the quadruple line breaks I wanted.

A typical story, with a protagonist who realizes that his story is quite typical. Please note that the tense shift towards the end of the second paragraph is thoroughly intentional. also note that my rating is not my intended audience but a RATING

Viking dude battles a sea troll. Written in a high style while avoiding Latinate & French words, for some reason that made it be first person present tense. Definately not inspired by the AngloSaxon epic Beowulf or Metalocalypse's Murmaider at all

A single epic sentence of 119 words, most of those words kennings or adjectives. As with most of my pre-2009 work, the topic is silly. Updated July 2009, some slight changes made to the grammar and the character's name changed out of respect for Tolkien.

The result of reading Elizabethan Sonnets while drinking an energy drinks out of a wine glass. It's not really a poem, just poetic prose. I like to think the words are quite pretty although the topic is just a bit silly.

It has always annoyed me that so many so-call'd haiku are actually just a disguise for the fact the the author cannot write verse at all. My response was these lines of complete doggerel, but I like to flatter myself that it's amusing doggerel.

A little limerick I wrote years ago; 1999 or 2000, if I remember correctly , and the only one of my childhood pieces which I still have committed to memory. For simple humour I don't think I've surpassed this in the last decade of trying.
