2006 Fall Anthology

A young man was forced to attend a school away from home by his parents. At first, it seemed like the idyllic school for him, but things turned for the worse. At the end, he'd learn more about himself and life in general.

In our Writing Community Forum under Writing Workshops, there is a subforum called Writing Prompts. I tried a few. These are the results.

A poem about a werewolf

Conrad is desperately bored serving drinks at the gay bar where he works, until one day Kim shows up, and Kim is anything but boring.

Rated for language.

A collection of poems for NaPoWriMo 2024.

I occasionally try my hand at writing haiku. I'm not claiming that any of it is really all that good. And some haiku purists might even claim that I don't always follow the rules of haiku correctly. Indeed some of my attempts could be more correctly classified as senryu, rather than haiku.

Be all that as it may, I shall add my individual attempts over the next while. Some have been written many years ago. Others will be more recent.

As the occasional offering may be somewhat dark in nature, I shall give the collection a rating of Mature. I will give individual chapter warnings where necessary

An Anagram Poem

Spring break, and everyone is back from college for some good Southern partying. For those who never left, like Marshal, their friends coming back means booze, girls and hanging out on tailgates with a bigger crowd. Marshal is happy to spend his evening lusting after a man he can't have, but someone else has other ideas.
