on geneticsi got my momma's ginger skin
and a tint of her florid hair,
same curves, smile & eyes
all of the superficialities
but none of the superficiality.

from my father,
i feared but side-stepped his
waist, receding hairline,
somehow still got
his calves,
but mostly just
his humour, grit,
and undying inability
to give half a shit.

i am trying to be grateful, i
guess, here's a gold star
for "you tried" and
i'm sorry if this
doesn't end well
for me,

you've always got
my little brother
for second chances.

Take A StandTerrified,
I use to hide in my room
As your voice shook the house.
Curled away from the sound,
Sobs shaking my figure.

Older now,
And still petrified at the thought
Of someone fighting back.
You used my fear
To control my actions.

A cloud is being lifted,
Still afraid, but not enough.
I will eventually take a stand
You will not have that kind of power again.
I will not flinch when I rise against.

Not yet can I hold my own.
My knees are still to weak.
But my rage and will are growing stronger
After all,
I am my fathers daughter.

DaddyDaddy

You watched
The doctor pass me to you.
Holding me in your arms,
whispering
"no one will ever hurt you"

You watched
Your little girl
Take her first steps
Catching me, lifting me up, holding me close to your heart,
whispering
"no one will ever hurt you"

You watched
Your little girl
Walk into her first day of school.
With pride,
whispering
"No one will ever hurt you."

You watched
Your little girl
Going into middle school.
Proud,
whispering
"No one will ever hurt you."

You watched
With pride
As your little girl passes the finish line,
placing gold.
Whispering
"No one will ever hurt you"

You watched,
Your little girl
Going into

Daddie's little girl.From when she started to crawl you video taped every second.When she took her first steps in the world..you were there.When she said her first words,you were always there every second..Raising three kids at once must've been a hand full...All our complaining about those tiny scratches,you always made us feel better.You were there for every birthday,when I turned 12 though you couldn't give me much I still loved you and mom.When Emma turned 18,you were there to congratulate her into being an adult.When John turned 16,you told him he was a man.You and mom made us all smile and laugh.When your youngest moves out with that boyfriend you never quite approved of,she'll still hug you and tell you she loves you,when she finds a collage and packs her stuff and leaves..she'll call you in the middle of the night just to say goodnight and I love you.When she get's back from collage and her boy friend dumps her,you'll tell her he wasn't good enough for her.You'll find someone else.A few years later

Metaphysical AbuseI'm better at playing your silent self-pity game.
Yell at me.
Mother's punishments were never rational,
because she's digging down.
Trying to find the mutual nuisance that needs to be slain.

Tell them my feelings don't matter.
Slap me.
I'll cover my face,
so the cold sweat doesn't drip in my eyes.

To her surprise,
kick me.
Accidents happen.
Right?
That's why you had me.

Even though it's a joyful thing,
you knew that you would.
And now you know that you should've,
killed me.

Memories of youthAll memories are ghosts in the past,
Ticking the hands of time away life falls and fast.
Hearts have broken and tears have formed,
Voices were raised and bonds torn.
Yesterday we were children in a playground,
Memories now in the lost and found.
But my dearest brothers in my heart home is safe and sound,
And I will always come running if you need to be found.
Bumps and bruises caused from fights,
Waging a world wars in the middle of the night.
Toys broken in two,
But at the end of the You all had me and I had you.
Different points of view debated till red in the face,
Hours spent in our secret hiding place.
Bonfires and camping out in the dar

SteampunkSteampunk means wearing goggles
Steampunk means wearing gear-rated clothing
Steampunk means being serious
Steampunk means being smart or punk-like
Steampunk means wearing brown and black stuff
Steampunk means wearing gear or metal bracelets, necklaces and rings
Steampunk means doing sometimes war

For some reason you were a steampunk penguin or human.

Father Love Forever!You teach me so much in my life.
How to ride a bike.
How to play sports.
How to work on a vehicle.
How to work with toys.
How to not to a weak person at all, to be strong no matter what.
How to pick the right guy over time, even if you have to put them through your test to see if they are the one for me.

Even if we had we had our hard times in life.
All the fighting.
All the yelling.
All the hateful words.
All the troubles we for each other.

I know I can always trust in you my father.
Your arms held me as a little girl,
Now being a full-grown women you can still hold me in those arms.
I will always be ‘Daddy little girl” no matt

Daddy, PleaseDid he forget?
Did he fall asleep?
Why is Daddy three hours late?
I'm all alone with your roommates,
and they keep asking me funny questions.
Daddy, please hurry and get me.
Please.
Why is he wearing long sleeves?
Why is he acting so odd?
Why is Daddy not himself?
I'm confused by your sudden interest in Mom,
and I'm scared as your eyes fill with tears.
Daddy, please stop crying.
Please.
Did he forget his cigarette?
Did he forget his coffee?
Why is Daddy sobbing and shaking like a leaf?
I'm trying so hard to help,
and I'm only making it worse.
Daddy,please tell me what I did wrong.
Please.
Why did he say those things?
Why did he say co

Those Whose Life Brought MineAs I look into my father's eyes
and my mother's warm smile,
I can't help but smile myself,
and think of these two

The two whose helping hands
taught me to balance, to walk,
who's bright, kind faces
taught me to smile.

I'm one of the lucky ones,
with a family
stuck together like
peanut butter and jelly.

Sure times get tough,
being a teen,
I get frustrated.
But my family is always there.

No matter what happens,
if I'm injured or
heartbroken,
we all comfort each other.

I work hard to
make those two proud,
I always want them to approve,
and say, "My daughter made the right choices."

I love you, Mom.
I love you, Dad.
And I never, ever,
want

Promises - Pt. 1

As I shut my tired eyes
For the very last time,
Promise me you'll smile;
Because I had enough time
And I was happy.

I know it doesn’t seem fair,
That some can live to be one hundred
And here I am,
Dead at twenty-six;
But I lived more than they did.
Sometimes you just never know
When the final sands will slip.

I lived without regrets
And I knew love.
I was received with kindness.
I was able to laugh and live
Like a thirteen year old girl,
Carefree and blissfully happy.

I had enough time
To lose track of it.
I walked across the beaches at low tide
To watch sea turtles hatch,
I blew dandilion seeds,
I got into trouble,
got scolded&helli

War Of A Life In PovertyYou promised mommy…
You said, “Everything’s going to be alright”
You lied to me mommy… you lied
Forced out we were mommy…
We slept in places foreign and strange
You still lied mommy… you lied
Look mommy…
We found a home… for now
Forced out yet again mommy…
Will it get any better?
Why we roam from place to place mommy?
Why?
I’m tired mommy… hold me?
But yet here I still stand, tired and hungry…
Mommy why do you work so hard?
For so long?
While I raise your youngest son and myself…
You sacrifice your blood and sweat and tears
Of pain and agony and selflessness shining for all to see that you… are… alive
Barely we live mommy…
Barely I eat, only so that you have food too mommy…
You’re so hungry… So tired…
Rest will you mommy?
Who are these men mommy?
They are not my father…
What do you seek mommy?
Where is your heart at?
Who is this man mommy?

I'm the kid that...I'm the kid that no one talks to

I'm the kid that eats lunch by themselves

I'm the kid that always gets picked last for teams

I'm the kid that ends up doing the whole project because the other kid won't do crap

I'm the kid that people don't give a second thought to

I'm the kid that thinks about those who don't think about me

I'm the kid that turns to Facebook or Wattpad for friends

I'm the kid that has the friends that no one else wants

I'm the kid that parents could be proud of

I'm the kid that has a loving family

I'm the kid that has a boyfriend when no one else would date me

I'm the kid that cares about others

I'm the kid that

Fathers Day to ShineI love my father
His stubbly beard,
His baldness,
Even his short temper
I hate it when he smokes in the house though.
Even if he scares me and everyone that knows him
I love all of him
I love it when he claps his hands loudly and dances around the house
I hate it when he goes shopping.
I sometimes hate him because he can be so mean and acts rashly,
But,
I love it when he lectures me about the world,
I love it when he supports me and cheers me up.
I love it when he’s near me.
I love my father
and I hope you love yours too,
No matter how he acts,
No matter how far away he is,
No matter the circumstances
Take a minute and acknowledge h

Cheap, Abundant Energy Benefits Poor and ElderlyThe Cost in Human Energy

Posted on January 2, 2013by Willis Eschenbach

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach

For a while, I taught a course in human-powered machinery for the Peace Corps. You know, bicycle powered generators, treadle powered pumps, that kind of thing. One of the very rough rules of thumb regarding human energy is that an adult human can put out about a hundred watts on an ongoing, constant all-day basis. If you were to hook up a bicycle to a generator you could generate a kilowatt-hour every day … if you were in good shape and you put in a ten-hour day. Sounds like work to me.

I got to thinking about this number, one kilowatt-h

Once upon a dragons' back

Should have used a bit of tact
'afore he was by tail whacked

Otters are very playful and mischeivous.

Doesn't mix with Dragons well.
The dragon in question is Kajm's mate, in her true form, which is a Lot bigger than him.

~BlameThe1st Aug 9, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Nice poem!

*Kajm Aug 10, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

My wife wrote the first line, I couldn't Not finish it *g* And it fits Kajm and Thunder's relationship *lol*

~CorvusCaelum Aug 9, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Watch the tail, it probably has spikes.
In fact, it would probably be best if you don't meddle with dragons at all.

*Kajm Aug 9, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Well, she's his mate *g*

~CorvusCaelum Aug 10, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

In that case, you just had to, didn't you?
