Poets and Writers

[tione]

I haven't seen a thread like this on here yet -- so I'n starting one.

Do you write poety or fiction or anything else?
Want to share... get feedback or ask for help on writing?

Letz do it :-)

My 1st contribution, just to get things started...

Ghost

A wandering figment…
Am I imagination?
I exist in the shadows.
I am a ghost

Known, but unseen I wander.
Drawing around you like mist.
But your world is not for me.
I am a ghost

Fading distant memory…
I wait for you in my realm.
Only the fearless enter.
I am a ghost

Seeing what you really are…
When you think you are alone.
I am quiet company.
I am a ghost

Only you know I’m here
The secret we have between us
Our spirits connected
I am a ghost

A haunting voice that whispers
Only you can release me
Desire keeps me earthbound.

mmm... i like to think i can write sometimes, but then again its because im in sherman town, so somehow i hope that his pressence will influence me....LOL just kidding, naw i mean i write a little, but im not about the poetry, i love to read stories, but poetry...i just cant do it.

I used to think that about poetry a long time ago. Then I had a creative writing teacher who explained -- poetry is like painting a picture with words. He forced me to write it and read it and before I knew it -- I liked it too.

But I mostly write fiction. My 1st novel was receently published. If ya wanna you can check it out by going here:

Anway -- if you like to write, you just should. It's good for the soul -- and all that crap :-)

I love to write but i have never shared my work with anyone except for my professors and I always recieved A's I was asked to have some of my writings published by one of my instructors but i never worked up the nerve.

I like to write for the prupose of getting things off my chest and just writing what i feel about certain things in my life or things that i observe around me. this is probably why I enjoy this site so much it gives me a chance to state my own opinions and learn from other peoples opinions.

Hopefully I can sit down and do some writing , I do miss it and sometimes feel as though I am losing the touch because I do research based on facts and stats. So if I do come up with anything ill be sure to keep you guys here in mind and maybe share some of my work with you, if I work up the nerve.

I agree that it's a little scary to let people read your writing. But work up the nerve. Getting feedback is one way to get better at it and have more confidence.

BTW -- did you used to chat at the old WBS chat? Your handle is familiar.

Whats the addy to you blog? I'd like to read some of it.
I admire that you write short stories. I have a hard time with them. I seem to just go on and on... which is why I guess books come out of me :)
