Ode to my Cat (in memory)
give me your throat, your tender white flesh that I may learn to love and to feel love, or gentle tooth and claw.
Perhaps the lady Dove would disagree, or gracefully suggest
those claws and teeth were meant for death, for striking, secret, silent, from above, just for the simple electric thrill of
ripping and tearing that gentle white flesh. Perhaps love is a fickle beast with claws, but better to open the heart to wound, forgive the daily faults and flaws, give your trust as trust is do, and soon and sure and hand in hand you'll pause... to gaze at the gentle white moon.

I prefer short story collections to novels. I love Alice Munro & Raymond Carver & Sherman Alexie & Edmund P. Jones & Tobias Wolff...

Anyone have any favorite short story writers they want to suggest?

She's not out there, the girl who'll kick off those flashy, uncomfortable shoes and sneak off into the woods. You only wear a wedding dress once, who says you can't get mud on it? Leave behind the borish, chattering families with their expensive wine and their fine cuisine, leave them, and follow the stream and let them talk, and tread lightly on rocks, velvet green, and red, and soft against the feet, and speak of life and how lovely it is to live on such a day as this, the dawning spring beneath the trees, or maybe in the painted fall, but I'm quite sure that all the deer will bend their heads to drink cool waters as we pass and birds will sing a happy song, as for photographer and friends and all the rest, let them wait, let them wonder... where could they have gone? The sun descends into the reddening sky and I brush the leaves from her hair as we wander back down to the party. Matthew P. Schlette

What is to be included in a preface and do people read them?

I can't find it listed on any of the rare books sites or any of the used books sites. It's too old to have a ISBN #.

Title: Lord Arthur Saville's Crime
Author: Oscar Wilde
Copyright and print date: September 1912
Publisher: Methuen & Co, London

This book may be worth more because it has an error, the face page and previous page are sealed together at the top. They were never cut properly.

I'm trying to write a short story and I was told it should have a beginning, middle and end. What does this mean? Is it separate time frames in the story? Just separate paragraphs? How do I know if my story already has a beginning, a middle and and end?

Title Immortal
Author Untermeyer, Louis (1885–1977)

Death cannot keep me; even when the dry
Earth holds me warm, a rose-bush at my head.
I shall not be content to loaf and lie
Inactive in that strait and slothful bed.

For soon the happy restlessness of life
Shall pierce me, stir me, make me once again
Part of the vigor and the freshening strife,
Raised by the miracles of sun and rain.

And when at length the grudging winters pass,
Endowed with swift and splendid liberty,
I shall go forth in rich and sturdy grass;
Shall scent the clover, call the thirsting bee.

I shall be in the urge that bursts the pod,
Pushing the sap along the stiffening tree;
That gives the young branch leaves, that stabs the sod.
The rose shall bloom more proudly—bearing me.

All things shall feel and drink me unawares;
The scattering winds,

Between Child and Adult

She stood in the door way,
between child and adult.
Never thinking of her actions,
as being her own fault.

She thought of times,
Past and coming.
Afraid to grow up,
Trying to stay put yet knowing.

Afraid to cross that border,
Between child and adult.
She slipped the pill between her lips,
Thinking it’s not her fault.

She’s in her own world,
Separate from our own.
Her friends were there with her,
Comforting her moans.

Her dads at the door,
She’s lost her will.
He slaps at her face,
but doesn’t wake even still.

She stood in the door way,
Between child and adult.
Never thinking of her actions,
as being her own fault.

She didn’t want to continue,
to live her life stuck,
thrown in the middle,
Between child and adult.

I would be interested in knowing what you thought of the book if you have read it. My friend says she can't decide if it is history or romance?

The comic book pages have hidden letters in them. 86 total. Those letters spell out a quote and the author of the quotes name. I can't figure it out!!

What book have you read that has the craziest twist or twists that you never saw coming?
When I was in high school my teacher told us about an author that he liked. He said that in this guys books there were always twists at the end that went a completely different way than you'd think. I'm trying to figure out who the author was.
And also I just wanna know of some books that are really suspenseful and have wild, unexpected turns?
Thanks.

I am creating a world of my own .The characters I took from mythologycal figure. I use elves, dwarves, men, gnomes, trolls, goblins, orcs as some of my races in this world of mine where I plant to write a book so that I could read something at our reding hour in school. However I fear that people might think that it is an immitation of tolkien and that is what I fear. I really like elves and dwarves and I already have the language for the races but I might become another tolkien imitation. Any advice?
