She-Wolf
written by: Emma Wells
Feral fur spikes,
standing defensively;
hackles up, spiked as war;
my breathing pace is fast:
a heartbeat felt in clawed paw
whilst my nocturnal eyes
canine-sharp,
pinpoint beating life; #Fiction #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Literature #Poetry
Monotonous
written by: Ken Tomaro
I am a small gray square on the tiled wall of the men’s bathroom. Sandwiched between several other small gray squares. I am not chipped or faded, worn or brittle, only gray like all the other tiles. #Fiction #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Literature

The Beauty within the Fallen Leaf
written by: Alex Andy Phuong
After night’s candles become burned out,
There might be uncertainty
As well as doubt,
But in order to understand
What life is all about,
And new life must begin

The Lighthouse
written by: Hanh Chau
Under the moonlight
shadows carry display
by the echo silent
sound of the sweet
lullaby song
stand tall and firm
by the strong built
showcase image
of a lighthouse
with the cradle #Spillwords #Literature #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity
