Writing short stories is one of my favorite past times. I love nature, doing art and including them somehow into my stories.

TiTLe.

Being the idiot(well I guess it's not too idiotic)I am, I shoved a stuffed animal in my pocket.

It looks super weird.

My pocket is all bulky.

I should've left him, the animal I mean, at home.

But that would be no fun.

I should've brought my sling bag thing but that would be even more noticeable.

So in the pocket he'll stay.

I wonder if you can guess what animal he is.

He used to be so popular.

I wish he was popular again.

I hope a teacher doesn't take him.

Hmm

Challenge

Butterflies

A symbol of hope, dreams, the tiny feeling in your stomachs, a delicate idea, symmetry, a weapon of mass destruction. Write a poem about anything as long as it includes butterflies (or a butterfly if your that person).

A Broken Butterfly

I fly like a butterfly

softly fluttering

past you, unnoticed.

(please notice me)

I fly like a butterfly

gliding smoothly

past life.

(a life I want to stop flying through).

I fly like a butterfly

only seen in warmth.

(little do you know, I soar in coldness more).

I fly like a butterfly

through beauty

but sometimes the heat is heavy

and I start drifting

down.

(please save me from the ground).

I fly like a butterfly

but a butterflies wings

are fragile,

and so

I fall like a butterfly

unable to beat

my torn heart.

(why couldn’t you see me?)

(why couldn’t you see the tears?)

I was a broken butterfly begging for you to help (but you let me fall).

Closer

I want to get closer to you.

I want us to share almost everything.

I want you to love me like I love you.

But it's hard to do.

What should I say?

I don't want to offend you.

I just want to hold you in my arms.

I want to tell you it's alright.

I want to promise you I'll always be here.

I want to get closer to you.

Lost at sea

I'm sailing the world to find you

Why did you leave

I know you didn't want to

But you did

The world is so big

Will I ever find you

No No NO

I'm being blown into a storm

Are you coming to find me

My boat has caught on fire

Burning

I need you

Why can't I find you

Please come back

I'm stuck

Lost at sea

Challenge

What happens when the sun sets?

Does it die or disappear? What comes in this moment or the next? Whatever you decide it is, and however you do so is welcome :)

Appreciate a Mother’s Love

A setting sun subsides into the ground

melting slowly as her colours explode in vast expanses

her fluid soul reaching out as if hugging the earth

wishing and begging for its cold and young outer shell

to love her mother back.

Sarah sat silently, stroking small seals. Suddenly stiffining, seeing something, she swam south sighing sadly.

Where do you find yourself writing the most? Paper? Phone notes? Napkins? Etc......

Everywhere

Leaking into my brain without even trying, I'm unprepared again. All my ideas swirling, yet I'm nowhere near a pen or paper. My phone is too distracting, yet the ideas are in danger of fading. I need a notebook.
