We are all fragile artists here… but don’t be afraid to say what you really feel. It is only through truth that we may slough off the sins of life and release the shackles that weigh heavy on our hearts.

the summer night sky wispy clouds painted softly against a perfect canvas of blue-gray the moon's light reflecting off of them creating a silvery glow a tender breeze caresses my candle making the flame flutter and dance in the stillness peace takes over me

Wind blowing through the halls, car alarms and the distant struggling of a child learning to play the flute… man outside, talking… "They had a Chihuahua… name was Mike… he was like a little old man. And he would eat anything." More flute backed by the sound of a television… wind blows… car alarm, clinking of glasses, a child screaming for his mother, mother screaming back, the hum of a fan, music, the flute, car alarm, banging on something, gust of wind, the flute, cell phone ringing, dog bar...

Synthetic world of cyber-reality lets me escape through the cracks of what is truly real. In this world you are left... wondering... something. Distance yourself just enough to grasp hold of the illusion of feeling real. Feeling true. Feeling like you did before everything fell apart. Hours spent searching for something... for nothing... for a world far, far away. The truth is, the more you search, the farther away you seem from the truth... because the truth was within... the truth is scary....

Contentment. Words drip off the page one letter at a time, Forming a pool of black on my desk. It will probably never come off. Happy to see them go, I smile. All of those words that were brought to me By the angels of Pain, Hurt and Sadness… They are gone. The angels have ascended. Now, only a pure white page glows in front of me. Inspiration comes from light. Painting in the brightest hues, I construct the most delicate magnification of life… Appreciating the little things. Letting the warm...

Here in the big top among the tall trees, squirrels fly about with the greatest of ease. The pigeons and blue jays appear from thin air, and butterflies flutter around without care. The spotted chihuahua does figure eights; he rockets around on his roller skates. The ringmaster owl hoots the big top tune, to tell us the ant parade is starting soon. Here come the lizard-clowns doing their tricks, Look at them all… one-two-three-four-five-six! Crickets chirp loudly as they bounce through the ai...

The theme was magnificent. A strong minded anti-war theme disguised in a simple Shakespearian rhyme scheme. What a creative way to go about it! When I began reading it, I thought it might be a children's poem, but I realized that the format gave this very adult theme a strong sense of innocence. Also, good use of slant rhymes... that's usually not easy to pull off, but I think you did it quite well. Great work!
Magnificent! It makes me jealous (I'm in Florida). We have no snowflakes here. :(
I truly do hope this gets published. I'd love to read the whole book! The segment was captivating from beginning to end. If I absolutely had to pick something to change it would be these 2 minor things: This part- “Lassie, I’m afraid this won’t do” I was a little confused on what he meant. It 'won't do' that she is holding on to him? That she is outside where she shouldn't be? Their surroundings, what? Maybe clarify that somehow. Also-"Silver bullets can do that to most demons." This line see...
This piece is brutally descriptive and gritty in it's nature. I love it! This is the first time I've read it and I do like the ending, although I had to wonder if the previous ending stuck to the subject a bit more. I realize that the underlying subject was always the brother, but the more superficial subject (the Copenhagen) seems to disappear at the end. You are undoubtedly a fantastic writer, but I do feel that the ending throws it off just a bit. Overall great piece, though!
Yes, I was a bit confused when she began talking to her husband. I had to go back to the beginning to understand it. Perhaps if you just stuck in a part that introduced him like, "Her husband's spirit appeared beside her" or something like that. I also had trouble with the whole "cardinal's song" thing. Was this introduced as a warning? I see that she began running, so that is my assumption, but there is no indication of danger until she begins running. Lastly, the way the cardinal's song cha...
