abuseYou're wise for your age. I've read your bio; I'm happy to know someone your age knows enough to know how little you know. Do you know what I mean?

Anyways, since your a spudding scholar, here's where I'd like your writing to progress (take it or leave it).

I fear covert cowards
have rule over us.
We're all they
have to fear.

How weird that
wound wand masters
are the only ones
powerful enough to heal.

Ironic- how man and beast
work as one, in sync;
Are the givers madmen,
narrators of normalcy?

Do the holocaust fumes
of History's chimney ,
consumed by our lungs,
make us one with the burnt?

Does powerlessness predetermine
our rationalizations.
Do we share a determined
destiny; do we share guilt?

Or does innocence spring
from our ignorance?
Can we rewrite reality,
as if nothing happened?

I'm afraid not.
We're forever wandering
in the sky... breathing...
air from faded smoke.

(I tried not to take away from your message, and a good message it is. You can claim this as your own or throw it out, completely your decision.)

Here's a few notes: Try to eliminate as many words as possible. Keep a dictionary by your side. Give yourself time to develop. Do not limit yourself in the beginning; you can always place restrictions on your writing as you mature. Read, read, and read some more!

I've just began writing myself. We're on this road together; yet, I feel (considering your age) that you've taken a running head start. I'm sure that you're going to be great. When the day comes that you're a rare master of the pen, be sure to visit my bio and share your wisdom.
