Greetings to fellow writers. I am an infantry Marine or ‘grunt’ as some know us as. I look forward to completing my deployments and focusing on writing without distractions. My work is me expressing myself in a world where other avenues are not open. If my work strikes a chord people can relate to, expresses things that you yourself feel, then I am satisfied. That being said, I would like to be published. Also, I know many of you will comment on my writing not being in a traditional poetry format, that is understandable criticism. My response, however, is I do not write to please anyone or their rules. I write to express something, a feeling or memory perhaps you can connect to. I try to write with a natural flow and progression, ...

Main characters Jack Hayes- Owner of Tropix nightclub, he is involved in perhaps a number of other "borderline" activities. He is powerfully built with average height, dark features, blue eyes, and "chiseled." Extremely cold and reserved, he is an ex Marine, believed to have at least three deployments to Iraq. Those who served with him testify to his bravery, as do his numberous medals, though some attribute it to him having a death wish. He is believed to originate from the American middle w...

The years have come and gone, the winds of war and adventure carrying me beyond countless horizons. Time has weathered away the arrogance and optimism of my youth. Despite changes that would take a lifetime to describe, I know you see it in an instant. In spite of all this, I remain the boy deep down, my love for you never more real. Bullets and bombs could not shake my resolve, but your eyes penetrate my soul. My defenses are shattered. I remember the moments of happiness we shared, and for ...

Yesterday I was the arrogant youth, resentful and defiant of all you advised. Looking at you with contempt, I saw only the weakness which years of alcohol, apathy, and failure had imprinted. Resolving to have no resemblence, I ignored the bonds of blood forever linking us. Now, years advanced, life has left scars I call my own. The late night lessons taught over Burgundy and Bourbon have revealed their value and meaning. Now, in my most trying times, I look upon you for guidence. Though your ...

You look good, you know it. Confident with an education and career your grandmothers would have never thought imaginable. Liberated, you have been through the trials and tribulations of men. You have the upper hand without question. As I look in your eyes, I see the wall you have built up, a wall society has taught you must be there. Sharing a bed is trivial compared to your soul. Let no man have that power, it is the only vulnerability you have. Let him have game, fashion sense, a scent that...

The hour of our trial is near. Ahead we strut, heads high and backs straight. We came from the farms, the woods, the hills. Some of us hail from the ghettos, some from suburbia, even some new from other lands. We are every shade of color, practitioners of countless faiths. Despite such vast differences of who we are, where we come from, we are brothers. More than anything, we know when the time comes; all we will have is each other. From the beginning we have endured it all together. Hunger, ...

Bond stays true to his character it seems, though I would like to know more about how he ended up with a son. The choice of verbs is good, and it shows a great deal of work has been put into it. I like what I have read, though I am curious to see more and get more of a background into the plot, and see where it is going. This is part of a piece you have sent in to EON for consideration I take it? Again, I would love to see more, and see where the plot goes.
Cheney is certainly scary, but I would rather have him angry at me than Hillary Clinton. Lady MacBeth doesn't have a thing on her. Not a fan of Cheney, but I love how you lefties give the Clintons of this world a free pass.
Hmm, well written from the leftist perspective, though you should be more overt about your political bent. In terms of politics, I am certainly not conservate, and I am not an enthusiast regarding our commander in chief. However, as a combat veteran, I can tell you that putting your life in the hands of the man next to you, and having his life in your hands, makes you unquestionably more qualified as a leader. The problem with you liberals is you are focused too much on race, and not on the i...
I can relate to having calloused hands, and holding a weapon. Very descriptive and detailed language. It gets a bit confusing in areas, that however, is most likely a reflection of my layman's style of writing.
