  10. So holy cow I've been reading some really good poetry here on GA. I don't know shit about poetry (I swear everyone says this), but I do know if I read something and it moves me, awes me, inspires thoughts in me, then I consider it good stuff. In no particular order, here are some of the awesomest poetry I have read on GA (and beyond) by far: 1) Foster _Foster's work is amazing. I've noticed that many of his pieces do not in fact have titles, but the poems speak for themselves. They're simple, poignant, and true. I've also noticed that he's removed some poems, I don't know why, but he had one about a flower that I found absolutely breathtaking (PUT IT UP AGAIN!!!!!) Without further ado, here is "Work in Progress:" My Thoughts: I had a chill down my spine while reading this! You should visit the original link as it has a picture of him in it that completes the experience. Preservation of memories and our past selves through the use of pictures is something that everyone does, because we know that we are amorphous and our time here on earth is limited. This poem is a very nostalgic, insightful, and a beautiful retelling of this phenomenon. Find _Foster's poetry here: Foster 2) harveybirdman My new discovery! Idk how long harveybirdman has been here but his words are amazing. A lot of his poems are complex in prose but perfectly understandable (just think a little harder). I really enjoyed "Two Brothers Share the Night" and "Ode to a Cigarette," but this one, "Standing On The Shore" is my absolute favourite because it's so simple yet so powerful. My Thoughts: My interpretation of this piece was about a man in which sadness, perhaps even suicide, is his familiarity that he has covered up with facades and worked hard to keep suppressed. His salvation, his death, the ocean. Absolutely stunning. Find Harverybirdman's poetry here: harveybirdman 3) Morgan Johnson This non-GA lady is a dear friend of mine who's poetry has always spoken volumes to me. Her work is what opened my eyes up to the world of poetry. She has a vast collection that speaks volumes about friendship, heartbreak, and love, in all forms. I loved her poems "My Surrender," and "The Perpetual Soul," but here is a short one, "Hearts&Stars," with a vivid picture and a great analogy. My Thoughts: This is a poem of vivid imagery, and one that brings back many memories of the loved ones that have faded from my life. Find Morgan's poetry here: ThoughtsInPoetry If you liked what you read "follow" and "like" what they have! But don't forget to leave a comment! Now, I haven't updated in awhile due to all the things that have been happening IRL but I still will be lurking around GA, so if you guys wanna contact me just hit the PM button and fire away.

    Worth It

    This is a relevant, educational, and powerful piece, especially with the context you provided. Intimate partner violence is a common phenomena that plagues households/relationships across the world, and many times it is not perceived as abuse in the eyes of a victim. It's apparent that the perception of IPV of the victim in your story has been altered, normalized, and even slightly romanticized. I loved your incorporation of the Anthology title in your story, as well as these lines: "It haunts me to think of being apart from him. I fear his absence, and when we are apart my body aches for him. I need him so much. He is the air I breathe, the positive charge to my life, the centre of my world. I wish I could get it right. I wish the bruises on my back would force me to be good." Great work!
  15. Dude this is just amazing.
  16. Yeah I get eyeball licking is gross but uh Some of us lick butt holes : D
  17. mmmm conjunctivitis
  18. Hey this is more stories than I expected :0 Awesome overall turnout! Will read and review very soon, hehe.
  19. Beautiful!
  20. I may do this as I've never nanoed before, but fifty thousand in the middle of summer is awfully daunting.
  21. I remember this. Perry wrote the first (and only) mainstream book with lgbt characters that I bought from the store and I used to really love it. I heard it was going to be made into a movie and was on its sequel and :< he was so young.
  22. I'm not usually a fanfic reader but some of the stuff my friend has recommended to me is truly amazing, way better than most of the MM published stuff around.
  23. I am pretty sure Jesse is still active. I follow him on Tumblr. But he's writing fanfic these days I believe. (Btw I fucken love the God Eaters. Such. An. Amazing. Story.) Domluka vanished. I'm pretty sad about that.
