Now I'm a writer, a poet, they say
I should write pretty verses to brighten your day
To hell with your wishes! Why should you play?
When I am disgusted the whole world must pay!

It is my privilege to write to my mood
I'm not sorry one bit if you think that I'm rude
I thank heaven's to Betsy with this pen I am blessed
And am feeling much better now that you are depressed... MCBAll Rights Reserved

A Deep Dive Into My Teenage Mind (From The Vault) by poetatmidnight20

I decided to write a whole poetry collection that concurs everything that has been happening in my years on this planet. I've been going through things good and bad. I'm so happy to put this out on short occasion but I'm ready to get this out.

Amore. by nhiamare

This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamare

Let's be Together by verenawrites01

A kiss can change everything. One kiss with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * "Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin fucking burns" Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. "Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?" Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of kissing her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. "I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard" she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. "Then don't." I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.

A Kiss Under The Kismet Tree by KBMallion

The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why. Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss. Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before. They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister. One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me. One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him. But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset. I can't let him intrigue me. I can't want to read more of his words. I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself. Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with. But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas! A KISS UNDER THE KISMET TREE Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2018 K B Mallion

Red Rover | gxg | Wattys 2023 Winner | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and you can wake them if you say their name again. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Body {Prose Vol. 1}✔ by FriendlyDragon478

🇯🇲The Read~er Woman -The Legacy🇯🇲 by birdeyze

A "completed" spinoff to LattySweets The Read~er Woman (Check her book out if you haven't already). 🤗 WARNINGS!!! •Mature Audiences Only •Story contains Patios-(Jamaican dialect), death, violence, murder, mention of abuse and neglect, expletives, sex, and religion. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• She stared at the man before her. Her body seemed lifeless except for the ragged breath that she took as he came to stand mere inches from her. His words echoed clearly in her mind drowning out the wild beating of her heart. A declaration of love was the last thing she expected and it was the last thing she needed. How was she going to break free when it was impossible to run away from the one thing she knew deep down she wanted more than anything in this world? Will Kemar being in the mix of all that was unfolding in her life make everything more worthwhile or is this just another test of God to see if she'll revert to doing what she does best... run away? ***********************************************
