This is a part of my Listen poem, just shortened and made much more clear and it is now focused on one aspect of the original poem.

The lessons of The Tortoise and The Hare applied to modern materialism compared to how accustomed we've grown to violence, unnecessary death, and war. What!

Pop culture is most evident to American children for more than the assumed reasons. Part specific story, part stream of consciousness.

Sue, you have proven to me that the ability to move a reader is not dictated solely by the technical quality of the literature. Thanks for everything.

a step backwards, still a step above ranting, i hope

re-wrote a poem i posted some years back

transitions, teenage?, truth, etc.

things change for you(r attention)

nothing plus sixty-ish words

(title taken from the amazing writer Stephen) This is my autobiography minus everything that is unimportant. It will get longer as I live longer/realize what is "important."

love isn't always expected, love isn't always wanted, love does change one's view of life.

a call for help from a person who refuses give into the unhappiness of the surrounding world.

a man on the brink of insanity: a hopefully realistic look at feeling lost at the end of a lasting relationship.

When things go badly with a certain person, everything in the world starts to go badly, too.

Call me corny, but lonliness kills.

Judge your greatness, compare it to other's, expect what you won't get.

A friend challenged me to write something funny. This isn't great writing or even well-crafted, but it's short and very different and hopefully worth reading if only for entertainment. But read something else first, so I don't seem like a complete creep.

A brief look inside my mind and an invitation to be everything you can.

This is for a friend who I feel many people can relate to.

You are and we aren't.

Whopping cough, Hale, and a weasel. Not completed but I am trying hard to update this one regularly.

Freya doesn't know how to respond when she sees the changes that have occured in her old friend Angie after spending the summer apart. STILL UNFINISHED: I recommend you read something else. Unless you're VERY curious (which I'd appreciate nonetheless)

Spring and everything it brings.

Everyone loves a star, as it shines in the sky.

When the awkward silence begins, time really does slow down. Take He and She for example. Bet you can't guess what's going on until the end.

Go ahead and dream, because what's the world without it? Just pointing out the obvious in various situations.

I had my own intentions for writing this poem, but I'd rather let you understand it however you understand it. I tried something new, and every part is there for a reason.

Very short story, read it.

The being alone lost until you're together found. One person calling out, another person hearing.

My attempt at fantasy- STILL UNFINISHED: I recommend you read something else. Unless you're VERY curious (which I'd appreciate nonetheless)

Call it peaceful advancement.

Smile and promise that you'll always be there... no, it's not a love song.

This is taken from an essay I wrote earlier this year on "What 'Love' Really Does To You".

Highschool kids view a painting that tells them exactly what they are and shows them exactly who they were meant to be. STILL UNFINISHED: I recommend you read something else. Unless you're VERY curious (which I'd appreciate nonetheless)

A man who left his life to start over in MA in the earlier 1800s... STILL UNFINISHED: I recommend you read something else. Unless you're VERY curious (which I'd appreciate nonetheless)
