Thread- part II -
Ken McCreless (1,673)    
Ken McCreless   
II
She was easy enough to follow, her threadbare dress stood out like a lighthouse on an isolated shore. She had made it herself, several sewing lessons short of mediocre.
Anyone with any fashion sense at all would question her choice of cloth. Even brand new it was a bland, off-white... ( added 35 days 6 hours ago.) |
Thread- part I -
Ken McCreless (1,673)
Ken McCreless
I
His odor was that of a dumpster in mid-July. His movements were purposeful and silent, except for the clacking of the human teeth that made up his necklace and bracelet. Scratches in a macabre floral design decorated his wrist and chest where the chipped molars and incisors had left their... ( added 35 days 6 hours ago.) |
Liberty The Native Language of Life and the Living -

Mogama
That freedom is the badge of America's
essence first impressed me the most when, as seminary students, we
drove in a 14-passenger van from the campus of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky to Washington DC. It was
in the early 1990s, and I had just fled the... ( added 142 days 20 hours ago.) |

Teresa Ortiz
It's been said by the Best that there is a time and a purpose for everything under Heaven, I believe it with all my heart.
It's also been said that a positive-thinking person will always make Lemonade out of life's Lemons. I tend to think that it's God who makes Lemonade out of the Lemons... ( added 155 days 12 hours ago.) |
Greatest Father's Day Moments - a Tribute to My Husband -
Teresa Ortiz (11,014)
Teresa Ortiz
My husband and I married young; too young just two days after my 18 th birthday. Our first child followed within three years and there was no way I was going to be able to stay home with her. My husband immediately stepped up and helped with the "wake up every two-to-three hour" thing and I knew... ( added 156 days 11 hours ago.) |
The Tale of the Troll -

Dave Potchak
The troll sightings took place along I 99 in Bedford County Pennsylvania in the summer of 1986.

Being a Mommy -
Sara Grisham (4) 
Mommy. What a wonderful word. I never thought I would get to have that word define me, but it does. In the dictionary, under the word 'mom', my picture can now be included with the many other women out there who have had a child.
I have always wanted to be a mommy. I was mommy when playing... ( added 196 days 22 hours ago.) |

Single Mothers - Damned if They Do, and Damned if They Don't, I Love You Mamacita Wosie! -
- Teresa Ortiz (11,014)
Teresa Ortiz
Coming up with a title for this piece was difficult to say the least. I thought of something sweet and mushy, but for my mom, this wouldn't do. Not that she isn't sweet and mushy, but knowing her, she would respond exactly like this:

You Were There (A Poem For My Mother) -

Michelle Mackin
I want to thank you
For the Mom you've been to me
I know I scared you
Countless times so terribly
How many times
You must have wondered
If I was going to die
But you were there
When others didn't care
I hear you sobbing
For a child born premature
I feel your heart... ( added 208 days ago.) |

Love Sonnet XVII

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries hidden within... ( added 285 days ago.) |

Keepers of the Dream for Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. -
Avis Ward (11,219)
Avis Ward
Over the course of my life, people who were once called 'colored' have shared with me, what it means to be black in America. While some have used the prejudices, racism and discrimination heaped upon them as a crutch to do nothing, others have used them as a catalyst to achieve more.

Sleigh Bells Ring are you listening, Here Comes Santa Claus, Joy to the World. And the delightful tunes go on and on.

A Christmas Caper -
Sandra E. Graham (9,984)
Sandra E. Graham
The sleet-laden snow tapped lightly on my window as I lay snuggly warm under my electric blanket. Too often Arkansas snows are more ice than snow so that we are grateful when we get enough snow to build a snowman. I always find myself wishing for six or eight inches of the white fluffy gift from... ( added 352 days 1 hour ago.) |

Sara O'Rourke
We did Corfu. It was absolutely fantastic. Sun, sand, sea, and lots and lots of bars.
One year later - equipped with more life experience - we felt ready to take on the ace of all clubbing hotspots, and jetted off to sunny Ibiza for another round.
Although expensive, the accomodation was... ( added 1 year 35 days ago.) |

Jeff Brown
You will most likely not serve. Yes,
if you receive a summons, it does not necessarily mean you will serve.
As a matter of fact, even if you attend the selection process (finding those who the court wants as jurors), there's a good chance you won't serve. For example, according to recent... ( added 1 year 51 days ago.) |

My wife called it to my attention. "SearchWarp is having a writing contest on embracing your geekiness! You should write something!" I'd seen the promo, but had purposely ignored it.
