This story is about a rabbit.

White, fluffy,

wild and yummy.

Mostly sweet,

sometimes with a taste of sour.

This story is about a rabbit,

the one that met a wolf.

A wolf that was searching

and craving for more.

But in this circus, we call life,

wolves can become princes,

magical tricks divine.

Rabbits can become ladies

and the prince calls you "mine".

I care,

I always will.

But I don't think I'll ever

want to be this close again.

I will only get burned in the end.

And here we are again. More written thoughts, more poetry. And if there is one thing that I have learned: in poetry everything is possible. You can arrange your words as beautiful as you want them to be or you can just keep it plain and blunt as long as it stays the truth. Your truth. But there is always the choice of how you write your thoughts down. In the end there are no rules, it's poetry. On the other hand we write our poems, lyrics and quotes to tell the reader something. Even with fau...

Ethan Lewis, dubbed “Poet laureate of Hawthorne Place,” writes daily, stopped only perhaps by night time: “But then again, bed beckons: ‘It is time. / You satisfied exigencies of rhyme.’” Doesn’t he declare, “Pentameter helps pass the time”? Maybe it is a way for him to keep away, at least for a while, “our fate: to disappear”; and does he know how to cry for a departed friend: “Our loss. Your gentle soul and kindest life.” Ethan Lewis does not ignore what he owe...

Winters Demon is the titular epic in Victor Venhuizen’s debut poetry collection. Rather than a common theme, it is a collection of stories and ideas that moves from an alternate origin of our four seasons through to depression and a day at the beach, to finally come to rest at the beckoning call of a warm bed on a cold day.

This beautiful and diverse collection of poems touches the reader’s very soul. Inspired by the loss of a loved one, Maudy de Vreij put pen to paper and started writing down the words she couldn’t speak. As she explains, to her, poems are like lyrics without the music and she felt the urge to write down the songs she couldn’t find. These poems will bring the reader a laugh, a tear, and every other feeling associated with grief.

The first book of a self proclaimed modern quote-ologist and thinker.

Within this book L.C. Woods has captured raw, pure and unedited thoughts and feelings of life, love and loss.

"This book is nothing but a reflection of my feelings and emotions while life passes by. "

The three year span which is documented in "The Other Girl" are about a rollercoaster of a love life where a lot of thematics get covered. Falling in love, lust, cheating, hook-ups, regret. A structured story set through the chronology of the poems where the reader is bound to relate to a time where a single person would be the only thing that matters, whether that be positive or negative. Not settling down for a single form of poetry, Zeno explores creative ways to write and keep poetry fun ...
