Poetry / Lady in Waiting

Soft silken barely there garments swish gently across freshly shaven limbs as painted toes slip into salmon-shaded sandals Two puffs of flowery fragrance shower lightly upon glistening cream-soaked ebony skin A trail of milk and honey scented tresses trail across the nape of a shapely neck with every brush stroke Reddened cheeks rouged reminiscent of newly plucked ripened apples Cherry licorice flavored lips pucker and pout as the same color is carefully applied with trembling hands Surer str...

Poetry / Reggae Me

Like the tangy sweet surprise of a Jawbreaker You showed up at my workplace almost 10 years later Never did I think that you would be my Valentine That you and I would again cross paths with lust so genuine You took me out to black up fresh from me job Barely did the iwa read 11PM on the clock We drove to a place I didn't know very well You looked at me and the butterflies began to swell Those big brown eyes peering out from buttercream skin Spoke volumes of desire from behind a sly Belizean ...

Poetry / Pissed Pussy
Version 1
9 Reviews   3 Comments
My pussy is pissed! It used to purr but now it hisses Soft perfection, my pussy was delicious But now it’s filled with blood and pus signs of infection Your misguided erection making no pause for direction Just moved forward with your unwelcome invasion Of what once was a gentle and safe haven For the one whom I gifted it to But then you… You… YOU! You took advantage of my gift and took it with a force so swift And hard was your punishment dealt with your stiff stick shift You used your membe...

Non-fiction / A Mother's Prayer
Version 1
17 Reviews   3 Comments
I prayed for you, my little soldier and the Lord saw fit to bless my womb with the fruit of life. But I was not ready. I was ill prepared for the hardship you would bring, the labor of your birth being of no comparison to the journey that lay ahead. The sickness that racked your body from birth drained my will and my love for you exploded in pain as I watched you whither. I cried a thousand tears until the ducts of my eyes encrusted with the salt of the sea of misery I began to drown in. I lo...

Tender years, a virginal twelve I lay in my bed as he ascended from hell I was oblivious and heard not a sound But something startled me so I looked all around Seeing nothing I shook off the feeling of dread Then laid back down pulling sheets over my head Suddenly I felt an eerie presence I felt the bed move as his limbs left impressions He continued to crawl swiftly until he was hovering My breath caught in my throat when he removed my covering I was frozen in place and no scream could escap...

This piece definitely could use a great deal of work. It is not bad for a first time, first draft introduction but there are quite a few grammatical errors. Your choice of paragraph structure is off. A new paragraph should be formed every time a new idea or pattern of thought is introduced. Your choices were sporadic; some new thoughts began in the middle of a paragraph while the same thought would be broken into two paragraphs. Also, comma placement should be looked at more closely as there ...
Overall a very descriptive piece. You did an excellent job immersing the reader in the story. The images you depicted were so vivid that I could feel myself in the story. You did a very good job of drawing me in and getting me extremely interested in where the story would go. Love the topic. Some great vocabulary usage as well. A few grammatical issues that could stand to be cleaned up a bit: First, in the line "With two computers side-by-side and a big leather couch sit on, nevertheless a lo...

Hello Kevin, I would be very interested in learning more about the criteria used for selection. What types of stories are they seeking? Is there a particular set of genres being looked at exclusively? Congratulations on your own publishing! Thanks for the information.
Poetry / Beer
This was comical in its utter simplicity. I get the repition and the reason behind the simplicity. It kind of threw me for a second where you expressed the longer tangent thoughts but this is the nature of drunkenness so I guess you captured it well.
Poetry / Eyes Of War
This was a very powerful descriptive use of the standard rhyming scheme. This piece flowed very well from beginning to end and kept me captivated with the emotion that was expressed here. There were a few grammatical errors, such as lack of appropriate comma usage in places, but despite those minor technicalities, this piece was very good.
