I love to write poetry and short stories. I would like to publish my poetry.  I’m a Hispanic female. I have had several poems published but never been paid for my creative writing. That is my dream career, to be a poet. I have written and edited a newspaper for 5 years, after which I have worked in the editorial field for 10 years.

Poetry / Halloween Poem
Version 1

Accused of being a pagen holiday by gungho religious people but to me, to me, not so the entire day and evening evokes warm memories and images. They never cease to tumble forth at this special time of year when things are magical and spooky at the same time. The atmosphere gets transformed like looking down at a tank of developer in which we placed our paper and watched as gradually pictures of laughing goblins, a skeleton millionaire, little ones dressed as ninjas, gangsters, at a...

Version 1

I'm trying to write poetry and to get better at it. It isn't easy. Not many people will pay to read it, anyway, but I love it. They may go see a poetry jam where it's open mic and the audience is drunk and laughing at the poets or would-be poets. That could be fun, even for me, being a poet and all. I could still laugh at myself. Ha ha. I would stand at the mic with my little sheet of paper, because when I get nervous I forget everything and just freeze-up, turn to salt, stand curarized, unab...

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Video Town
Version 1

I stayed home today because I have a time-off award and I was just worried about my cat so I stayed home with him. He is 15 years old and shows signs of nausea as he has lost his appetite. He also threw up in the kitchen a couple of days ago. My boss told me to do something fun today so I am writing in my blog and listenning to headphones, Plantronics to be exact, the first ones on the moon. I also went out to lunch at a Mexican restaurant across the street from where Video Town used to be. V...

Poetry / Reasons
I like the viewpoint of this piece. I feel positive towards it. I definitely agree with all the statements but I think Art should demonstrate, illustrate, and illuminate a point. This poem could have done this when the message was fresh and new but with all the bumper stickers that remind us to Support Our Troops, which by the way are made in China, a country that supplies machetes to the Sudan. Supporting our troops is not a simple matter as this poem implies. I do like the following powerfu...
Poetry / Binary
Binary is such an intriguing title. Computers are based on the binary numbering system which consists of just two unique numbers, 0 and 1. Could the narrator be a computer, or a very refined robot such as in Stepford Wives? First, "paralyzing fear keeps me in my seat," then at the end, "Of being pushed out no regret or fear Because nowhere could be further from here." I would guess that the computer has been retired because it just blew up, but could it be used for sinister doings like those ...

The reason I gave this treatment such a low score is not that it is so bad but that it needs to be gone over more critically to remove some grammar and repetition errors. What type of genre is this piece? I feel like you were too close to a person you represent as the character Tommy because the description is too heavily dwelt on. And he's like a one-dimentional character. He needs more inner conflict or some nice traits as well as all the thug traits. That's why I asked what genre is the ta...
Poetry / A Valentine Poem
Removed
This poem needs a little work on spelling--do you mean to say past or passed?-- and a few trade secrets that are only revealed by a lot of reading and hard work. For instance the mixed metaphors. Also it is best to demonstrate and to be subtle rather than to spell out what you mean, as in "giving hope to all who've suffered." I prefer the images of the bent yet defiant tree holding fast to a leaf. And yet, it is a good start and the message gets through. I would think about this poem, it has ...
