Writers Feelings
Why do I even bother trying?
They've been very complimentary
proving to some to be more than satisfactory
And still not even a mention
Instead of getting hopes up, I should exercise caution
Over 2 years and so many attempts
My creative juices often end up spent
And still not even a mention
Why didn't I stick to my decision
Why put up the effort for not so much as an "attaboy"
Especially seeing something fun end up with no joy
And still not even a mention
Is it because of the more than fifty with no attention
The death of a dream, where ideas rot
Every bit of effort in a land that time forgot
And still not even a mention
I guess I don't qualify under some stipulation
Get up and walk away
Resist the urge to come back one day
There'll never be a mention
Amid constant failure and repeated rejection
About the Creator

I have always enjoyed writing and exploring new ideas, new beliefs, and the dreams that rattle around inside my head. I have enjoyed the current state of science, human progress, fantasy and existence and write about them when I can.

Second Tuesday of November
No one knew how the event really started. Between a few beverages at the bar, maybe? Notes passed carefully on the street? Or, perhaps a secret meetup at early hours of the day? Whatever the root source was, we were here now on the second Tuesday of November. Nervous, but also absorbed by the allure.
