The Mad Poethide bio
Author has written 126 stories for General, General, Fantasy, Life, Politics, and Love. I am an adult, but not strictly a grownup. I am a conservative, but not strictly the kind Rosie likes to wordbash between bad jokes. I am addicted to addictions, but not strictly because they're addicting. I am The Mad Poet, speaking. I am better known in certain circles for my art, but all of you should be aware of my little secret--writing is much more interesting. I sincerely hope you derive even a fraction of as much pleasure from reading this as I get from writing it. I live to serve. Dec 04 2009 |

Random Hearts reviews
There's love at first sight, and there's love at first touch. Some people are just inspiring, in that respect. ..but they are rarely the ones who return the sentiment, it seems.

Strange Affection reviews
People ask me why I don't qualify this as a romance. Well, not all love is romantic. Most love hurts like this sometimes, but not all is romantic. I think romance is a sub-genre of angst, sometimes. . .or horror. This one is angst, though. And if it's

Untitled (Amber) reviews
Just an odd little piece I wrote a few years ago. . .I rather liked it, though I never could title it. Ah well. What's in a name, after all. . .? Everyone who reads this goes away with something different. ..I won't try to summarize it.

Goth Applying Makeup reviews
The title rather says it all--I watched some goth girl putting on black and white makeup in a public restroom, and for some reason this popped into my head. It's not very good. . .but it was suggested I post it. So yeah.

Man in Black and Red reviews
This did actually happen, and the man of this poem--a very dear friend; like a second father--has since moved on.This is a pitiful rememberance of him, but you know, when I wrote it I didn't know he'd be dead in less than a year, so give me a break. Not r

Written as the first short story assignment for my Creative Writing course, I'm afraid I must have made a bad first impression. I may actually add to the story, but for now this is all. R/R? If it's liked, I'll add. . .

More abuse, but of a slightly different brand. Though written from an original character's POV and therefore specific to their case, the sentiments displayed here are coldly familiar to me.
