I am a writer not because I don't have a life, but because I choose to have many..... Scratch that.... I'm bored.

The Fire

It was just a simple summer day

While most were away

when he turned on the stove

The fire ate Colegrove

when he pushed and shoved

it destroyed everything he loved

until the next day when most weren't away

and everyone sang

Whistle one day away

and then you convey

while the tragedy will be known the next day

and while the skies turn grey

his family turns away

without love or sorrow

they live tomorrow

like nothing happened that Saturday.

END?

Snap

'A young comedian's true passion is not only to make the people laugh but to also make a name for himself'

Helen chuckles and says. "That's the worst jock I've heard all night and trust me your joke's suck!"

The man looks at her with cold eyes and responds with. "This is and inspirational speech to young comedians"

"I'm not the least inspired"

"Nor is anyone else here, I just started 5 minutes ago"

"A true inspirational speaker inspires within 3 minutes." She said imitating his voice.

"Would you like to come up here you failing comedian"

"Actually I will and I make 50 grand a show" 

"So lemme guess, you only get 1/2 a show every two years"

"Would it be funny if I said yes?"

"No it would be incredibly pathetic, lose-"

"Well in that case, yes" Helen said. The audience erupted in laughter.

"What, why the heck are you laughing?" As the inspirational speaker said this they all pointed to the back of the room. When he looked back he saw three cardboard signs that had the word LAUGH! on it.

"Oh sheez, this is disgraceful" and he started to cry. 

THE END 

background-"But this sucked"

YES IT DID

Marriage Day

She started to dream, and if that wasn't bad enough in a nation that despised and killed anyone who had even a single trace of imagination, the dream was about how she would die the following Tuesday. The nation was a horrific terrible place where boys were convinced to be men at such an early age. While women were being taught to marry and populate the nation at age 8 and marry at age 13. The marrying process was very bad, people would say who the person should marry, vote on it, and then they were assigned to each other as "Soul Mates" for the rest of their lives together. Nobody could promise anything, friends couldn't be trusted, and "wives" and "husbands" didn't love each other until they were around 16-17 where the punishment was death to both if one was in an affair with someone else's wife or if they got in a argument the therapist couldn't fix.

Most couples were forced to deal with each other over time because they didn't want to die. Evelyn was the one who was "cursed" with this dream, and today was what everyone called choosing day. It was when all the 13 year old's were assigned to the spouses. It was normal very depressing for the students but they were forced to smile, and the adults of the kids were holding cupping their hands over their mouths or foreheads.

"Lily to John"

"Loris to Tommy"

"Kate to Ricky"

"Sophia to Nicolas"

"Emma to Mason"

"Ava to Lucas"

The announcers continued to rotate who said who and then they said.

"And finally, Evelyn to J-" The microphone cut out and you could only see the announcer's lips moving, but Evelyn heard the best thing in her whole life, she was positive the announcer said Jackson, a brown haired boy with hazel eyes she had a crush on when she was eleven. The announcer slapped the microphone a couple time and continued to say "Jacksmith" Evelyn's face fell as a boy's head popped out and said

"But I'm already assigned to Lilian"

"Opps, I meant to say Jacksmith your to Jackson" The announcer said. Jackson's head popped out and said "But we're both guys"

"Oh no that can't be right" The announcer continued "Evelyn to Jackson and Lilian to Jacksmith, yeah that's right" As she finished two men in black walked out from behind and shot her in the head. Nobody looked surprised since it was something that happened so often, instead smiles grew on the adult's faces as they congratulated their children on their spouse. Evelyn's face beamed as she hugged her parents and in-laws, Jackson walked up and lifted her above him then lowered her and kissed. Evelyn's eyes opened and she willingly kissed back. He offered to take her by the hand to the celebration and she accepted they walked on the sidewalk to the best part of wedding day, The after party, she could see the giant white pavilion set up that was only for the newlyweds. When they were about 2 blocks away from the party tent Jackson made a sharp left turn and kissed her straight on the lips.

"I'm a very lucky guy"

"Why?" she asked.

"Cause I was gonna kiss you if I got you or not."

"But they would of killed y..."

"I know" He interrupted. "I wanted you to be my wife or else I would of died with just a kiss"

Tick Tock

Tick Tock

goes the clock

as hours pass quickly by

ring ring your phone sings

as your friend says hi

the bell tings

at 12 am

You start to doze off 

as your brain has a cough

and then you collapse

when you awake to hear taps

you realize it was the

clock 

singing it's song

tick tock

tick tock

Tired

His mussels were burning from typing on his keyboard all day

He and his arms and eyes gave way

And to his surprise 

He didn't arise

Until the trees were without leaves

And much were pet peeves

For deadline were close

And so were most

Trembling all the time

Trying To Write

Sweat poured off the early writer he had finished his first book and it had become a big hit. So his publisher did what all publishers do(Asked for another book in 2 months) and he cutting very close to that dead line. He hadn't slept in a couple days just staring at his computer finishing up the last six chapters that ended up having 435 pages between the 6 which meant he wrote half of his book again in only 3 sleepless days. As he was about to write the twist at the end of his book that was begging for a sequel. He printed it out and sent it to his publisher. When he got home he collapsed on his bed with his own nightmare, he has to write a sequel... He groaned in frustration how could he have been so foolish. He checked his emails to see if his publisher had got his book, and to his horror the publisher asked to have another book in one month and asked if he could not turn in his book a month before deadline.

Poet

Now most of you have noticed I'm more poet then prose

And I think my writing shows

That I truly love poetry

Now I'm not the most interesting man alive

But I hope my poetry will thrive

And like all poets I will try to make good poetry

The colour

The color I choose is magnificent,

It's vivid and bright and is all around us,

It represents nature, joy, and sometimes sickness,

Can you guess what my colour is?

Denied

I have a good life for the most part

The only problem is my heart

It's been denied to many times

It's path is not an straight line

From time to time it's good 

But other times it bad as it should

But when life hits you hard

And it makes your heart charred

Try to learn to love agian
