Welcome!

Hello All,

I have created this space for the creative writers among us. Here, you can post your stories, journal entries, rants and raves, poetry, deep thoughts (about your life, life in general, something you are reading, something we are reading in class), or simply your observations in life. Other students will be welcome to post comments to your work.

My goal in this blog site is to give you all a venue to write creatively, and to improve your writing with one another. When posting to another student's work, we should not be evaluative ("this is good" or "this is bad"). Rather, we should ask questions and/or state what we "got," or took away from from our reading of the work. In this way, our comments will not be critical and evaluative, but thought-provoking and helpful to all of us... the writers.

While you will not be graded and evaluated on the work you post here, I do expect academic integrity (original work only!) and academic language. Avoid language in your creative writing that you would not use aloud in class.

Please do not post anonymously. If you would like to create a pen name and use that, that is fine, but you must tell me this name so that I know who is posting what.

With that said, happy writing,

Ms. Walsh

I wonder if it was you that
Took away all the being left in me.
You left me all alone to wither away.
I have to tell you that
I cant take it anymore,
But I can’t seem to find
the right time to let go.
I can’t seem to do anything right.
I don’t understand it.
I don’t understand you.
It feels as if my foundation is
Slipping from right under my feet.

Happiness keeps me sweet,
But for how long?
It will soon run out.
There will be no one to save me from myself.
Sorrow keeps me human.
It always will.
Surely something brings sorrow.
The impact leaves a mark
Upon your skin.
It will stay there like a band to
show what you have done.
