Author has written 32 stories for Love, Sci-Fi, Life, Historical, Essay, Spiritual, General, Action, Romance, Biography, Mystery, and Friendship. Greetings. My name is Thomas Herge, and I am a sophomore of rank 4 at the Ohio State University. I lived most of my life in Montgomery, AL. Crazy place, that. I write what comes to mind. They say life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel. I am coming to the conclusion that I feel (I'm an ENFJ anyhow). I have ideas for dozens of novels, but I hope to at least finish Destruction of the Spam (DotS), The Wars of Balkin, and Wheat Among Weeds. I am what they call "catholic." This makes me dangerous as it shapes the way I think, but read to find out. I hope some day to be a priest, but some things I must take care of first, like finishing my degree in Mathematics and helping all the people who need help here and now (on that note I am in the practice of giving advice on all manner of things). Toodles! Also, retrying DotS in Eugene Onegin Stanza. Would like opinions: One day I donned my well-worn lab coat, And as I ventured to the stage A fearsome figure from his dread-tote Did draw a gun in sudden rage. A mighty glow o’erwhelmed my senses And right away I fell in winces. I woke after what seemed such years, Wond’ring what sort of smoke and mirrors Could cause this sudden loss of thinking, Or even more could leave me faint While time enough had had no paint The time to dry while I’d been sleeping. I let it be, the question droll, And ordered “Let the cameras roll!” The advertising breaks then ended, I straightened out my bow-tie fast, And so the sponsors be not offended, I kept this anonce not till last: “My friend, my brother, let me pitch it, What from Aaronco beats a widget, It’s New Spam I assure you now. But wait and see, my dears, just how. It tastes much better than the old Spam; It even stays good overnight, And stench will never cause a fight, So buy it now, Messieurs et Mesdames.” “What nonsense is this?” I exclaim. “Am I a scientist so tame?” | |||||||||||
1. A Peculiar FeelingAn awful poem I just wrote under a lack of sleep. It doesn't even have much of any imagery and it has a stupid little rhyme, but I need to express my feelings right now.Complete - Life - Fiction Rated: K+ - English - General - Chapters: 1 - Words: 131 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 6-21-09 - Published: 6-21-092.
