Little crisis in their minds by Cynthia Ocloo
Little crisis in your mind,
Shattered nerves that try to bind
Your thoughts, sheltering something that is mine.

Creative Writing, The Writer’s House
ARHU298J: Creative Writing—Cross Cultural Perspectives in Poetry and Fiction
Immerse yourself in the writing of fiction and poetry that encourages creativity while expanding knowledge. You’ll hone your writing craft in a nurturing, interactive environment while developing skills that help uncover your own distinctive voice.

Afternoon sessions are devoted to studio time spent reading and writing. You’ll share your original writing in a supportive workshop setting and discover new approaches to revision

His hands were iron, holding onto his weapon
But he waits, for his darkness to beckon. Continue reading “Cupid’s Opposite By Cynthia Ocloo”
Bathroom Mirror by McKenzie Smith
Tears flood from her hopeless eyes
And bring me pain
She reaches for that taunting bottle
I plead for her life
Thin lines of blood tremble to the cold sink Continue reading “Bathroom Mirror by McKenzie Smith”
