http://slow.writerscafe.org/VAHouser17 The original writings of author Rana Adalwolfa Simon en-us Copyright 2026 WritersCafe.org 1776050682 WritersCafe.org RSS Generator 15 A lyrical story I wrote for National Poetry Month 2020. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2171999/ Poem 24 for National Poetry Month 2020. I wasn't expecting this to take the turn it did, but I'm super proud of this one! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2171563/ Poem 22 of National Poetry Month 2020. Just some imagery to reflect how I perceive the writing process sometimes, using one of my favorite elements of nature. https://soundcloud.com/vahouser http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2171348/ I don't really like this one. But I needed to get day 21 of National Poetry Month wrapped up and this it what I got. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2171152/ A poem written out of exhaustion and frustration. I usually don't get political or socially critical in my writing, but had to get it out somehow. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2171026/ A quick fun little ditty inspired by this video I saw in my Facebook feed - https://www.facebook.com/kmouis/videos/10216621170269776 http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2170874/ A rewrite of my drunk sonnet I posted a couple days ago. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2170850/ A sonnet written in 5 minutes while fairly drunk. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2170655/ A poem written for day 17 of National Poetry Month. Inspired, amusingly so, by reflecting on a fan fiction I wrote in high school. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2170644/ A haiku for my 16th poem for #NationalPoetryMonth this year. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/2170528/ Something random I wrote a while back. I think it was supposed to be the first chapter of a book I was going to just let write itself. Just never let it write the next chapter... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1654230/ Part 2 of my zen garden haiku series. This is all I have for now. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1546655/ Part of a series inspired by a zen garden. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1546654/ A reflective piece while staring at one of the decorative photos from our reception. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1546653/ An acrostic poem illustrating my latest days at work. I'm waiting for that final job offer. I'm waiting... so... patiently... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1546652/ A writer's block piece I did a while back. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1506262/ This is a message poem I wrote a while back. Something to know about me for context here is that I'm agnostic, coming from an RCC background. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1506261/ No title yet. This is one of my slam poems, which I'm still working on, on and off at least. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1506259/ rant poetry woo hoo http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1499314/ I don't think I'm finished this one, but I like it so far. My husband got on a bagpipes and pan flute kick lately, and I'm loving it. :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1496365/ A little ditty. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1496349/ This is an older piece I did in college. I haven't visited it in a while, so it probably needs some more work. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1496337/ I'm a big fan of haiku. I hope to share more of these. This one is a little silly, a day the creative juices didn't want to flow. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1495861/ A lament of sorts. RIP Leonard Nimoy. You lived long and prospered. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1493541/ Something more casual, looking into new narrative perspectives. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1493181/ This was originally a 3-word prompt piece, using a random word generator. I'm very fond of the setting I created here, though, and hope to expand on it, perhaps into a Wrinkle-in-Time-esque novel. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1492111/ A 'Picture it and Write' prompt. You can see the image with the story here: https://vathev.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/story-picture-it-and-write-mugshot/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1492100/ A free form illustration of the power of reading to a child. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/VAHouser17/1492077/
