Creative Writing 101 - "Dear Diary"

Dear Diary,
Pages of a diary
Breathe louder than any voice,
Speak the ramblings of a troubled mind,
One that cease to speak.
Lonely are the words,
Frantically scribbled along a path,
Having no direction,
And seeking for an end.

Does it help to cry?
When no one will hear.
And how much is your mind put to rest?
Never weep against the wind.
Never moan in its wake.
All it will pass to you are the echoes of your pleas.

Pages of a diary;
Fragile still yet strong,
Can contain the thoughts of a thousand men
Or sing the song of one.

Creative Writing 101 - Blast From the Past

Going through some of my old CDs full of my work from college (believe it or not, I was heavily into Flash actionscripting and animations at one time of my life), I stumbled upon a folder from my creative writing class, an elective in my 5th semester. Among the works were some free verse poems, sonnets, short stories, even a play that I remembered was well-received when my group performed it.

Thing is I'm starting to see a theme in my works: they all center around death or loneliness yet I recall being very happy in those days. How pretentious of me...

So as a touch of nostalgia, I think I'm finally ready to share these with you and let you jump into the creative mind of a 22-year-old me.

PS: There is one poem that was more of a spoof... however it does involve killing a stripper.

I need help :|

MelBot QotD: At Ikea

Me: "So should I go with the bamboo or the fake flowers?"
Mel: "Bamboo, definitely bamboo. Bamboo is very hard to kill... though I guess fake flowers are hard to kill too."
