La Mer insensible à froid

Another inspiring poem I found on WritersCafe.org
La mer insensible à froid

La mer insensible à froid

"

*The cold unfeeling sea

"

I cried to the sea all my sorrow
s
But it took little notice of me
For tears and moans is all it's known
Wind and rain: what I am to the sea

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."— Dr. Seuss


Word of the Month 00001

Well, we were making lemonade.We decided that a word of the month was necessary. And so here it is:

Begrudgingly, our first word of the month.

Dictionary.com tells us:

be·grudge

  [bih-gruhj]
–verb (used with object), -grudged, -grudg·ing.
1.
to envy or resent the pleasure or good fortune of (someone):She begrudged her friend the award.
2.
to be reluctant to give, grant, or allow: She did not begrudgethe money spent on her children's education.
Origin: 
1350–1400; Middle English bigrucchen. See be-grudge

be·grudg·ing·ly, adverb
un·be·grudged, adjective

We also found a piece of text from a book called Savannah by the Sea written by Denise Hildreth. Featuring our word begrudgingly not once but twice!

... I settled into a nice rhythm of literary life, examining the essence of our humanness and telling its story through the eyes less-than-perfect journeyman. The city had welcomed me. Begrudgingly but eventually. I had accepted it. Begrudgingly and eventually as well...

Now we ask you to use this word to inspire a piece from you...

emotion writing

Have you ever been in one of those stressed out, confused, angry moods when you feel like you could explode at any given moment? well if you have, it may not seem like a great time for writing but really, it is!
writing can be a great way to release some pressure or say something your too afraid to say aloud, here are some ideas;


-write a letter to someone telling them what you really think (i don't suggest sending it)
-write a poem to express your emotions
-design some powerful word art
-or if none of these seem appropriate, then just start writing, your head may not know what your feeling but your heart will, spill your emotion onto paper and not only could you create a good piece of writing but it can also help you understand yourself.

Laughing at what winter thought was dead

Read this wonderful piece:

Laughing at what winter thought was dead

A Poem by Craig Froman
"

Each blossom is a seed of hope...

"

Laughing at what winter thought was dead

Perennial madness in my lifty-lofty head

Tender plants, sprouting their true leaves

Alba flowers and amurensis-sighing sleeves

And your pomegranate lips a musical entice

Cross fields of sage and lavender-white rice

Grafted beauty on floating winds of thyme

You dance like magic on variegated rhyme

And life is laughing, spinning, leaping too

As winter’s sterile promise all fell through!

I found this on WritersCafe.org and couldn't help but love it!

New Inspiration

I was stuck on the second chapter of one of my stories when I came to this advice.

If your stuck just try something, anything in case it works. If it doesn't work, at least you know what doesn't work.

I knew something wouldn't work in my mind, so I had never tried it out. As soon as I tried it, I ticked it of the list and my mind cleared so I could think of another way. It worked so well I had to share it.
