A Bow Around Me
Written by Semper Fi Reborn

They had only each other.
Not much food.
Few clothes.
Worn out shoes.
Yet they were not sad.
Like the rich who cherish wealth.
Then weep at it's loss.
No they had other riches,
That accrued other interests.
They didn't seek pity,
For sadness was not in them.
They were givers of joy,
To all who had met them.
Long ago they found a gift,
That would sustain them all their days.
All their nights,
In every way.
They recieved Jesus into their hearts,
As a personal gift of love.
It was as if God had said,
"Tie a Bow Around Me."
That's how happy you could be.

I am wondering what evidence actually exists for the theory of intelligent design or creationism depending on what you call it.

I am pretty set on believing evolution as the correct theory but as an open-minded person would like to know if there is any really credible evidence supporting intelligent design.

Note: I put this question into the Philosophy section because it seems the best fit for a part religious, part scientific question.

I had a huge fight with this person last night and this poem just flew out of me. I'm in the U.S. Your comments are much appreciated.


Vile

Spew your vile vitriol
That ushers from the blackest hole
Of hell. And that of which
The civil do not speak.
Yes, spew it as a sickening streak
on someone else, next time
Indeed, if anyone else,
Would ever give to you their precious time.

I see now I was the fool.
Should have let you sink
in your black abomination pool
It would have spared me true,
the moments of wasted life and breath on you.

Nothing pours forth from your gaping maw
But lies, deceit, excuses.
of that which is filthy and morose
You seem to find such endless uses.
An endless cycle of disgust.
What once was good and right,
turns taint and putrid with your rust.
Such is the nature
of your despicable touch.

I'm a pre-teen and I'm pretty good at writing for my age, but I really want to get better. How do I get better at writing fast and how do I learn to make my characters deeper. I think it will be easier to write once I learn how to create good characters that have more to them than a general personality and appearance.

I need at least ten famous collaborations in music, literature, and the arts. So far all I can come up with is Merce Cunningham and John Cage, and more recently, billy Joel and Twyla Tharpe.I know that there are tons of others, but I can't recall them. Please help me out.

Money? money? Hey, you!
Could you spare some,please, sir?
I'll empty my pockets, sure;
I haven't much to give you.

Not enough for you to stay alive on.
(I keep enough to catch a ride on.)
I pray that, maybe, a warm sandwich;
prevents this being the street he dies on.
Warms him, if here he coldly lies on.

I have a coupon, we can split fries...
smiling, "O.K." the thoughts of liquor die.
With a person, problems can just fly.
As his story falls on my ears and eyes.

What made them all like that? What about the transition to agriculture made males dominate? ( I think that was when the change happened) I've been wondering this for a long time.

Picking pipers playings perceptively;
Running rampantly, ragingly...."Reality!"
Outside of oozing on operationality.
Denying debate, diffusing deceptives;
Sounds, sonnets, sollilloquoys..."Sanity!"

Getting to the point where there are too many myspace'ers asking how to make animated gifs and enhance their page with other seemingly "cool" images, and what not.

Where's the talk of SLR's / Lenses / Apertures / Shutter speeds / White balances / ISO's gone!

Please bear in mind that I was 11 when I wrote this!



March Wind


I feel the wind, I start to shiver
I know my walking pace is quicker
I start to run, the wind has begun
A last chilly breath of the winter.

Yet in the trees the young leaves quiver
Branches ripple, my feet are slower
I stop and see, in the chestnut tree
The magic of spring is now clearer.



The end!
