I love to write poetry and short stories. I would like to publish my poetry.  I’m a Hispanic female. I have had several poems published but never been paid for my creative writing. That is my dream career, to be a poet. I have written and edited a newspaper for 5 years, after which I have worked in the editorial field for 10 years.

I'm trying to write poetry and to get better at it. It isn't easy. Not many people will pay to read it, anyway, but I love it. They may go see a poetry jam where it's open mic and the audience is drunk and laughing at the poets or would-be poets. That could be fun, even for me, being a poet and all. I could still laugh at myself. Ha ha. I would stand at the mic with my little sheet of paper, because when I get nervous I forget everything and just freeze-up, turn to salt, stand curarized, unab...

I stayed home today because I have a time-off award and I was just worried about my cat so I stayed home with him. He is 15 years old and shows signs of nausea as he has lost his appetite. He also threw up in the kitchen a couple of days ago. My boss told me to do something fun today so I am writing in my blog and listenning to headphones, Plantronics to be exact, the first ones on the moon. I also went out to lunch at a Mexican restaurant across the street from where Video Town used to be. V...

In the dark of goodnights, smokestacks puff like gigantic, Phallic pipes marking happy productivity Yet soot covers the porous building facades And leaves a film on the faces of the populace. Having lived in this county most of my life I never thought my lungs would fail me Yet my wheezing and my X-ray gave my doctor concern Walking on now, weakened, my gaze evermore forlorn I am not nor will I be the saintly aunt Who never complained of the pain of her stomach cancer. Has the reaper taken on...

I like the first sentence. The word poor falls flat. Good start, keep writing.
Some good description, some good use of dialog, I was looking for something more profound in this story, more contrast between characters, perhaps an early start to the action. There is no action, just a conversation (so far, I hope). I'm not the best judge since I don't like drugs and I don't like swearing. I would change the name Mr. Smith. This is a good effort, keep going.

As I began reading I thought in the back of my mind about the complaint that many people have about dating or talking online with strangers, you just don't know for sure who you are talking to and usually it is a monster. That is how I would write a synapsis about this short piece. It is very clever and entertaining even though I knew the plot. I laughed. The words were very well chosen to keep up the suspense. I enjoyed it so much I read it more than once. Well done!
