Writing Exercise: The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman I remember him well He haunts my nights and dreams His shape varies From a dark shadow to a Figure looming over me of discarded clothing or toys He moves as the light beneath the door flickers The closet door inches open My mind races Footsteps break the silence Creak...creak of warped...

Gun Control

Bang! Bang! Bang! Unable to forget Unable to change The outcome of the coupling Of a hairpin trigger And an innocent child The repeated warnings Nevr touch the gun The dangers explained Sweetly the child smiles Nodding okay And a man dropped dead And the puzzled child shouted Look at the man on tv...

What's behind the door?

Writing exercise on someone who has stifled your voice

There he sits all pompous With his degrees hanging behind him giving him credence Ready to declare his verdict I sit in hesitant anticipation Do I really need his opinion Will I value it?

This was a writing exercise about dirty hands

Mud Pies There I sit in the middle of the yard playing It's time for some mud pies What! You never sampled a mud pie? Let me share with you how we make them... Take a glass of water Please don't use the breakable glasses Mom frowns on that! And pour it over the ground Stay out of mom's garden She... Sign in to see full entry.

Lift it and feel its weight Shake it and see if it... Sign in to see full entry.

Medusa Incarnate
