I wrote this poem in 1987 during the time of the Ethiopian famine.
Last year I changed a couple lines, and this is my updated version.
When I first wrote this poem I was only 18 years old and hadn't
had children yet.  Now after nursing 7 children, I realize the mother in the poem was also dying because she didn't have enough calories herself to produce breast milk for her  baby.
 This collection of poems/stories deals with world wide issues and life struggles. I have poems or stories on most of these subjects, but just gradually publishing them.  I usually write poems that other readers might relate to, but I realize that some material will be sensitive to some readers. Please note: not trying to offend anyone.All Rights Reserved

Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔ by FriendlyDragon478

❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes.

Hidden Places, Book 1 of Autumn Club Series by emmehnim1

She planned a life alone. He planned a life to own. Only one will get what they plan. Set it Regency England. Erotic content with power exchange including bondage, domestic discipline, spanking, etc. Keep in mind the era and the power exchange kink (AKA BDSM). Simply put this is a kinky book that may offend. You have been warned. First in the series of Autumn Club books. *** He lowered his head to her ear. "Good evening, kitten," he whispered. "You are always such a good girl for me, aren't you? Allowing me to pet you without complaint." His wrapped fingers moved so they rested over her covered breast, and a gasp again escaped Katrina's lips. She leaned back a little in to him. She wasn't sure if she was trying to move away from the touch or closer to his body. She knew this was wrong and she should run away, but his touch was addictive.

Dolly and Mona: Adult Baby and Mommy Story by CammiCutter

Two women, each desiring something they think would be impossible. Longings they feel could never be achieved. By chance meet but in a setting where they fear they may never speak of what they each crave. Time goes by, and their yearnings for each other reach a level where they do finally confess their dreams and desires. Finally, they are able to voice what they want to each other. A relationship, partly on an unacceptable level in society's eyes. Could it be true that a mommy and an adult baby girl finally found each other? A perfect coupling. Which expands to include a new family circle for them both, which surpasses anything they could ever have imagined. I hope my tales offered here are enjoyed and tantalize readers some. I would so appreciate feedback, whether comments on the stories or votes. I understand if readers don't vote or comment, as I can be faulted the same way when getting into a story. But, as a community of writers in this somewhat diverse world, it is appreciated when support or even objections and suggestions are made.

Please, Please Me || 𝟏𝟖+ by Aria_Eclipse

"We shouldn't," she moaned as I effortlessly separated her legs with my knee. "What about-" Her words died in her throat as I pressed my thumb against her swollen clit, tracing lazy circles. "I'm sick of ignoring my desires, Care. I don't want to die with regrets." I sank to my knees. "And not fucking you would be one of my biggest regrets." I dragged my hand from her needy clit, forcing two fingers inside of her, knuckle deep, while my mouth captured her clit. 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 They say life is always unkind to the most deserving. Just ask 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐲. She was doomed before she ever had a chance. Born into extreme poverty with drug addicted parents, she escaped to New York City in hopes for a better life. Instead, she works a deadend job at a seedy club, where ruination lurks around every corner. But The Regency's Old Hollywood ball changed her life forever. That was when he found her, and everything finally fell into place. 𝐍𝐢𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐧 seemed like he would be every woman's dream man. One of three sons from the highly respected Madsen family, and billionaire CEO of Madsen International, he basked in his bachelor lifestyle. Until his family forced him into an arranged marriage that intensified his disdain for high society. But, a girl in a martini glass changed everything. He had to know her. He had to have her. He just didn't know how yet. 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 graphics by @typinchapters #3 in Secret Relationship [10.1.24] #10 in New York City [1.4.25] #1 in stranger to lovers [9.30.25]

Queen of Darkness by Juanita3212

Fictional story. When you have been a slave all your life, running and looking over your shoulder is not the way anyone wants to live. But when a girl born into slavery thinks her life cannot get any worse she is suddenly thrown into a different life, one where humans are not the worst monsters out there and she has to not only learn how to survive but how to trive. Hello everyone and thank you for contemplating reading my story. Before you start I would just like to state a few things. Although I have written a few books (Okay 3 books including this one) I mainly write to relax. This is the first time that I will be sharing my writing with others and I have a huge fear of rejections so please be kind in your comments. I welcome all comments even constructive criticism but please don't be nasty about it. Also, Yes you will most definitely find spelling and Grammar mistakes, and I'm apologizing in advance as English is not my first language but I decided to write in English with the hope that my story reaches more readers than it would if I wrote it in my home language of Afrikaans. Having said that I really hope you enjoy the story line and read all the way to the end. This story is a fictional fantasy but contains sex, violence, strong language, rape, abuse, slavery, blood, vampires, warewolved and witches, and reference to slavery and sexual abuse. If you're sensitive about these type of things or you find the above mentioned topics offensive than please do not read any further. If you do enjoy this story please read the follow-up called Hunting Aurora. I have done a lot of research on specific time areas and subject matters and tried to incorporate as much factual info as possible even though all characters are fictional. I do not condole any form of abuse, rape or violence. I would like to thank the people who encouraged me to finally take the next step to upload my work.
