Writing Workshop

Just as it sounds: a place to come learn, discover, and grow as a writer. We want to help writers recognize and develop the potential within.

    when Matty went a gutsa by kromwellfarkus

    a normal day, like every other before it.

    a job to do.

    I’m there, waiting(as per usual)

    for instructions…

    steel capped boots grinding quartz and dust,

    until the point and grunt is given,

    you are the dream by uncleblack

    we never stopped once
    to consider the road,
    or the chosen scent
    of the chosen rose.

    we just loved how our feet walked
    and how it pleasured our nose.

    we never once stopped
    and thought of the sound,
    our foot…

    trickle by hollyann

    just a little thread
    of water
    down the side
    of a cup
    of a tree trunk

    trickle

    how the time
    ticks sometimes lonely
    sometimes only
    second to second
    a world apart

    trickle

    as honey runs
    sweet
    insipid
    and slow
    just e…

    late hour owl by uncleblack

    in the most silent way,
    how he passes his time,
    gradual light graces his fronds,
    smears across late day hues,
    in an exquisite dance,
    whispers through the tines.

    the hill is bored endless by rabbit,
    my cush…

    all at sea by uncleblack

    darkness sits in hot idleness
    across my half sleeping form,
    in unseasonal warmth,
    the night noises enter
    each open window.

    you had to leave,
    and in these days inbetween,
    my second brain
    does not see or hear…

    The Darkenbog by George Yesthal

    If dusk mayhap should find you
    On the road ’ere it gets dark,
    And owls hoot more often
    Than warbles the meadow lark
    And up ahead, before you creeps
    A cloying and deepening fog
    You know you must be brave …

    When I come out at night... by shelleybabe2

    I’ll walk the walk.
    I’ll talk the talk.
    I’am who I’am.
    And that’s not all…

    If I can sense your smell…
    I’ll fly like a bat out of hell.
    I’ll come crash…

    foundations by hollyann

    the tiny shells
    and legs like minute strands of bone
    in my hand
    they look like nothing
    feel all tickly fine

    yet these are the foundations
    the things we
    build ourselves upon

    easily crushed
    and forgotten
    but…

    repeat process by uncleblack

    i recognise the signs,
    as obvious now to me
    as the simple passages of time.

    but the growth of doubts
    still catches me on my blindside,
    and when alone
    the effect is magnified.

    i dont always enjoy this heat…

    Sixty Five Years old by George Coombs

    Sixty Five Years Old

    now that i am sixty five
    time to retire whatever
    that may mean…?
    good to withdraw from
    waged oppression
    have time, find space
    to set the good ship
    of my soul sailing

    Encore by Ilse

    And the moon was blue,
    our stars hid behind the thick velvet cape of royal darkness.
    It just me and you.
    You and I.
    Nocturnal lovers with ice glittered skins that could out-shine golden envy that jeal…

    I tried to wriggle from you . by timbuckley

    I tried to wriggle from you
    Your kiss held me still 
    As I let my self embrace
    That suffocating thrill 
    Of unwrapping the Territory
     that eyes had feasted on
    But somehow invaded me like 
    The melody of a song…

    Puzzles and Paradoxes by BiographyofRed8

    The knocking noise your tongue makes
    Pauses of the silence, spit-back to open a weary insessant scapula bite
    Riding a nightmare of twin razors-your refusal to sleep
    A glass artifical lake lapping at an …
