First Love
written by: Merle T. Harris
 

We met at the end of the school year, having been introduced by a mutual friend.
His milk-chocolate complexion, large mouth, and wide nose were framed by his curly hair and small ears.

Change
written by: Rekha Rajgopal
 
The world is going to change
like a snake sheds its skin for growth.
It will slither with shinier scales sans spoil and parasites
to spread the good word among gullible hearts.
Maids will rest their #WritingCommunity #Literature #Fiction #Spillwords #Poetry

Despite

Bipolar. It is a word. Not a life sentence. You label me as having insanity. But we all bleed red blood to the brain. We all can refrain from grace time to time. Do these chemicals in my mind make #Literature #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Poetry

From the stars upon your body
to the bird that sits,
pretending to be peaceful,
and melancholic,

to the strong strings of the bass
thundering,

On a Starry Night
written by: Debby Hackbarth
 

As Christians, we celebrate Jesus’s birth in many ways.
Families gather to feast and share special times.
Children shout with glee as they open thoughtful gifts.

To You and Me, Unspoken
written by: Juliya Susan Jose
 

It was pure destiny indeed
An untimely play of the universe
You felt like an apricity around,
like soft words that mend the silence.
The tastes were kindred
and thoughts #Spillwords #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Literature

A Familiar Route
written by: Jayesh Sharma
 

Here I am
Again, or perhaps this is new;
At least, that's what I tell myself
Watching a familiar path unfurl
GPS narration in tow:
"This is a saved route. Would you like to proceed?" #Spillwords #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Literature

Snowscape
written by: Angel Edwards
 

a man clad in bulky black clothing
walks stealthily
across a huge field of snow
stands out
because of his black clothing.
looks tiny
against this white expanse

There arrives a train monster #Poetry #Literature #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Spillwords

Time Falls Silent
written by: Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal
 

It is time for bed.
It is about time.
I waited a lifetime.

Time falls silent
while the clock breaks.
The time Is over.
It is beyond time.

Revolution
written by: H.E. Ross
 

Pops could be heard before I could define the city’s shape…cracks and pops, quiet, then more of either. At first, I assumed the noises were a celebration of some type, but easily they grew into being #Fiction #Literature #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Spillwords

The After Effect
written by: Anthony John Ward
 

Gerald had been fascinated by the movement of plants. The fact that they moved in the same way that animals do, except much more slowly, so that you don’t see it. He wanted to see it. He #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Poetry #Literature #Spillwords

October
written by: Jackie Figueroa
 

We stood there a while,
Seen but not heard.
Pretending the air didn’t ache.
The silence begged for a break,
I almost asked it:
Did you ever think I’d be good for you, too?

Earth Mother

Earth Mother awakened to yet another grey and gloomy morning.
She then met with 'Nature's Ninjas' (not her choice of sobriquet)

Bees' Nest in My Chest
written by: Calypso
 

I feel the way I do because of the bees'
nest inside my chest
The bees are stirred by the smallest thing
and swarm around, stinging my heart
when I say something or other or nothing
