Poetry

astronomer's anatomyi.
seen, undoubtedly
so gracefully stepped;
exhalation of debt
owed to none
a miniature trek
of the tongue
laden with melodies
sung to the back
of the sun
there's a wonder in hearts,
a pull to the stars
from the oceans,
a flight
from the moorings
ii.
there's a wander to hearts
as sure as the stars
fill the oceans
with light
till the morning
iii.
all held breaths
do expire
and all heroes
turn liar
inevitably
can you tell
is the fire
worth the burn,
the dive
worth the struggle
to breathe
iv.
if you can
tell me
if you're able
trick the words
into stable forms
shapes ripped from wavers
torn straight out of air
and devil-may-care
I will answer
v.
I can dance around
any conversation
with ease
my teeth
skim surfaces sweet
then retreat
vi.
there's a blunder in hearts
short circuits the stars
fill with motions
in spite
of our mourning
vii.
can you call it adoring,
being subject to the spin of the system?
viii.
I took a stroll
through the orbits
let the gravity enormous
have its way with me

This writer has many fantastic pieces of literature in his gallery,

and this poem is a must-read among them. Full of beautiful

phrases and lines and particularly well-done rhyming, after reading

you will come away from this poem with questions, as well as answers.

Prose

A creative romantic vignette piece that

seems to be relatable in its abstract way.

GolemWe remember when you dug us from the riverbank, but we forgive you. The water was cold and the people had need of us.
We remember when you divided and shaped us, but we forgive you. We were without form and the people had need of us.
We remember when you put us in flames, but we forgive you. We were soft and the people had need of us.
We recall the day when you sent us against swords. This we forgive. The people had need of us: we would not desert them when foes were near.
We remember when you broke us with hammers. Even this we forgive. The battle was won, and the people had no more need of us.
But though shattered, we remained on the hillside, for no people came to sweep the shards away. This too we forgive, for our eyes remained littering the ground and it allowed us to see.
We saw you crowned and we rejoiced though our own heads were shattered. We saw rings on your fingers and we applauded though our own hands were lost. We saw robes on your shoulders and we were glad, though our o

Suggestor says, "Haunting in its simplicity and visually evocative."

Date a girl who drawsDate a girl who draws.
You know the one. Her bag will be filled with discarded pencils and pens, scraps of paper with mindless doodles on them and blank books sticking out of her bag. She's the one who spends an hour trying to find the perfect sketchbook, only to pick up three more because she just couldn't help herself. She's the one hunched over in the coffee shop, rain or shine, the gears in her mind turning and turning while her hands move to catch up with every idea she has. She's the one who's too focused on what she's doing that her coffee's gotten cold and the people around her peek over her shoulder but she doesn't realise.
Compliment her drawings.
Ask to see more.
Turn the pages carefully, gently. Look at how hard she pressed the pencil into the page, the failed drawings, the successful ones. Look at the careful lines, the messy ones, the ones that give the drawings life. Linger on the pages you like but don't touch the drawings. Look at them carefully. Remember them.
Don't t

It may be about a visual media, but I think any type of artist

can relate very well, and has some wonderful closing lines.

Fine, Fine, FineFine, Fine, Fine
Nothing changed in the classroom when Maria Diaz went missing. It was as if she'd never been there, sitting in her spot in the corner where the teachers couldn't rescue her from the other kids. Whoever said words never hurt was a liar in denial. Maria would have preferred the sticks and the stones. A broken psyche doesn't mend as cleanly as bone.
"Yo, Clarissa, wake up." Before she could turn in the direction of his voice, Sam punted a paperclip right into her forehead.
"What was that for? I was totally awake already." She whined. Mrs. Benson wasn't even finished her lesson yet. The fat witch was still writing math equations on the blackboard, oblivious to everyone snickering about how her ass was so big it didn't even look connected to her back. Mrs. Benson was gross; math was stupid. Clarissa was bored. Typical school day.
Sam grinned that imperfect grin of his. He needed braces. "If anyone would have invented a way to see through their eyelids, I guess it'd b

A well-written (but positively chilling and creepy!) short story

that details the possible consequences of bullying someone.
