I am an ancient college student. I have five kids and one grandchild. I am divorced and currently in custody of the three kids still at home. I have recently earned my AA in education, and am working toward the BA, so I still have a long time to go. In my English 101 class I was told that I need to write. I then took a creative writing class and was again told to keep writing. I wondered “Why? If no-one will ever read my work?” Then I found this website.
Here I will be read, even though I may never be published. I am also having the privilege of reading all of your fine work, before the publisher gets to stick me for twenty bucks!

A rat is munching away at my heart. His miniature rat teeth are reasonably sharp If he takes tiny bites I don’t feel it quite, Until all of the nerves he’s managed to bare Will finally protest, when they touch the air And feel like it’s acid, or fire or lye. What has changed for you? *Nothing. Nothing has changed. I love you today like I loved you yesterday. I cannot even imagine anything that would make me feel right about not loving you.* There is a tone in your voice that was not there las...

When I was a new father I believed: My family will always be together, And my kids will do what I say; Because I’m the parent And it’s what I say. When I was a new father, again, I believed: My five children will eventually grow up, But they will always do what I say, Because I’m the dad. Now I am a new grandfather and I know: My children were never mine, Because they were just small people, And they will not do what I say, Until they are the parent.

Because she walked around with her nose in the air, and because she seldom spoke to anyone in the school, many of her classmates thought she was stuck up. She was not one of the popular girls, and was even a bit mousy; maybe dumpy would be a good description, but none of the people who thought this about her had ever seen her dressed up. She always wore jeans and a sweatshirt, and even on the hottest days she at least wore an oversized T-shirt. Her shoes were always the same pair of approved...

Light. Violet yellow light. Sound. Water tumbling over rocks, and a gentle stirring high in the trees. Smells. The musty, bright smell of fresh moss, clean compost, fir and cedar. As I open my eyes I realize that I am home. Oh not the kind of home that is full of stuff, and has couches and televisions and windows. The kind of home that feels comfortable because there is no time to rush you about. The kind of home that is not warm because of central heating, but because you have to work just ...

Very nice. This has a lot to say about you as an author, and about your life. Nicely done! Is there a reason you capitalized the whole thing? It seems more like a title than a six word essay.
Cute, but not really very important. There are a few misspelled words too. Like six of them.
