http://slow.writerscafe.org/akd241 The original writings of author Emily en-us Copyright 2026 WritersCafe.org 1776017895 WritersCafe.org RSS Generator 15 A response to Robert Herrick's poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time." As everything posted here, this was written when I was 18 and moody. Enjoy. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/630419/ Another slam poetry-inspired piece. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/350412/ Wrote this after a poetry slam. Keep that in mind. Might want to read it in that style. Find a flow. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/350369/ Written for a contest http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/349388/ I like this one. I wrote it 8 months ago (with a lot of the stuff I'm finally adding) and I still feel this. What do you think? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/349189/ This is when I pretended to have resolve. Give me your worst. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/349188/ Love it, hate it, not sure why I wrote it? Tell me. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/349185/ What meaning do you find in this? I'd love your opinions. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/349184/ Wrote this a long time ago. Still restoring a lot of old stuff.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/328661/ An old favorite of mine. Finally restored. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327550/ This poem is very special to me. I still remember the moment I wrote it about. So insignificant, but it meant the world. Hope you like it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327549/ Short, but it's what I wanted. Let me know what you think. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327548/ I hate the title. But I can't think of a better one. I had a working title of "Your Eyes" but I have another poem I love by the same title that I'm hoping to restore soon. Any suggestions? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327547/ Restored. =) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327544/ Ironic title, as this poem was once lost by Writer's Cafe. But now it is restored. =) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327543/ I don't really know what this means, but I like it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327541/ I wrote this last year for an assignment last year to write a three-line poem that started with "Five years ago..." Last line starting with "Now..." http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327539/ This is new. On the way to something interesting, I think. Please give your opinion. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327516/ I know what I mean by this one, but I'd be interested to see if that came across. What do you think it means? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327509/ Really, I'll start writing better soon. Until then, this is what I've got. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327506/ I need to find new things to write about.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/327505/ I believe this was on here before the great writing loss that caused my extended absence. So, this is old, but enjoy. An experiment with rythm and rhyme. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/321204/ This is borderline terrible. But I want critiques, ideas for improvement, etc. As a precursor, this was intended as a free verse poem. Which I have obviously not mastered. Be kind. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/321203/ I wrote this a long time ago in a brainstorming session in Washington Square Park. I'd like to expand it, but for now I enjoy these five lines. Let me know what you think. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/321200/      Come closerMy dearLet me whisperIn your ear Come closerYou’ll seeWhat you and ICan truly be  Come closer I’ll sayI love you dearDon’t shy away I know that youCan see it tooCome clo.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/156361/ I’ll give you loveI’ll give you lifeI’ll be hereThrough the sorrow and strife I’ll sing you to sleepI’ll clean up your messI’ll be hereTo help you handle stress I’ll write you a poemOr two, or three, or fourI’ll be her.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/156359/  What’s so great about things that glitter?The jewels that sparkle, the gems that shineThey say diamonds are a girl’s best friend,Well someone else can have mineThe shimmer fades, the gloss wears offAnd then what’s left behind? I’d rather have you he.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/156358/ Why can’t I figure this out?Things just don’t make senseSince when is there doubt?Why am I so tense? The rain used to fallIn torrents and galesNow a drought consumesNo more streams, just vales Where certainty flowedOnce, a time agoWhen we walked that roa.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/152214/ Some see the world in black and whiteWhat’s so wrong with that?They’re the colors of so much good in lifeLike my favorite little cat A zebra’s stripes, a penguin’s suit,A cow’s spotted hidePiano keys, a fireman’s dogThe colors of groom and bri.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akd241/141792/
