Encouraging Stories

a collection of poems, musings, and unfinished stories I have written over the past few years that helped me process everything I've gone through -Disclaimer- I am not a professional writer, nor am I looking for criticism on my writing. The things I have written are derived from the pains I have suffered over the course of my life and I wouldn't appreciate anyone picking apart my works as it would be like picking at healing wounds. Please respect this, you don't have to think it's good and you don't have to like it, but please don't criticize it. "I suppose I love my scars Because They have Stayed Longer Than Most People Have" - Nikita Gill

(Ranked # 18 out of the top 1000 in Wattpad poetry on August 20, 2015! See photo in "Thank You Readers".) A name, a history, and four lines of mystery . . . Is one short poem enough to experience a life, a legend, or a legacy? The poetry in this book is inspired by fantasy, historical accounts, and fairytales. I wanted to keep the elegant parts of traditional wisdom that encourage or allow for quiet thought.- L. Etheriel (This book has new parts added throughout the week! If you want to keep updated, then please add it to your reading list and follow the author. Feel free to leave comments and vote/leave a star on every poem you enjoy!) Here are a few samples , just two from over 60 original poems in this growing collection. Sample Poem #1: Lorelei (Lorelei is derived from a legend similar to that of a siren or mermaid. The myth tells of a maiden who lived on a rock in the Rhine River. Her song lured fishermen.) Deep in the mist an aria is hidden The Rhine's lilting voice serenades the forbidden Dripping locks of hair and a blanket of scales Vanish as lilies and foam cover her trail Sample Poem #2: Jason (Jason originates with a word meaning "healer".) Neither wounds nor aching bones should go unnoticed Still, healing of another kind must come into focus There are remedies of herbs or a doctor's inspections But spare a moment of ease to make calm reflections

~My Personal Poems~

"Promises Of A Lifetime" is a story of 3 friends, Ron (Ronnie), James, and Claire who are faced with a life-changing divide. The friends attend school, work, attend practices, and try to manage life as all normal students do. Ron plans to join the military, James plans to go to college on a football scholarship, while Claire plans to attend the college of her dreams due to her intelligence. However, fate would see it differently for these friends. Once their lives are ended suddenly, and their story seems to close, they are given another chance. Just in a different, hairier, form. Find out if true friendships, hearts, and promises can truly last a lifetime of a soul.

Encouraging quotes

This is about bullying stories and later on in this story you will see some quotes. (Not mine)

Poems I have had accumulating in my notes for a while. I hope you enjoy them. I am not a professional poet. Trigger Warning: Some poems talk about depression, suicide, self-harm, abuse, feeling trapped. If any of these topics could potentially trigger you please do not read! I will be putting an additional warning before any poem that may discuss these topics.

This is a book of some quotes/poems that I have made. Some people might judge this book by the cover or the blurb but if you read it, you might like it! I'm not forcing you to of course. I'm just putting it out there. I hope you enjoy! ^ignore that. Now that I read it, almost 2 years later, it's probably one of the crappiest things you'll read so yeah. But I'm keeping it up anyways! Update: Wow, it's been a lot longer than two years now. I'm keeping it, still. It's a stamp in my progress, as embarrassing as it is :)
