[stylist] Sample of writing

Sat Jun 30 20:50:28 UTC 2012

I think Knitting is much easier - but I have been doing both since a small 
child, so I might not be the best judge of that. I think you will enjoy it. 
You can learn how by bing on the Krafters-Korner list. I can teach you in 
person as well, if that is possible. Best wishes on the new niece. How 
wonderful.

>> THE ONE I Love
>> By: Michelle Sipe
>>
>>
>> Promises, echoes, memories cast into a dreamscape.
>> Yet, here I lie awake.
>> Shadows dance upon the wall, like great giants poised to fall.
>> Yet, no fear comes to fill my empty heart.
>> Outside the wind blows across the grass, silvered moonlight lights its
>> path.
>> Yet, I do not go out there, I do not dare.
>> A million stars like priceless gems, oh to be one of them.
>> Here I lie, too hollow even for despair, and yet, I am not scared.
>> And, what is fear?
>> A thick and cloying fragrance?
>> A heady drug of circumstance?
>> Yet, I don't care, anger has gone and taken all I ever had.
>> Anger, what do I do with it?
>> It poisons and steals and cuts to the quick.
>> There is a hole inside where my heart once lived.
>> Or, is it there, dormant, hidden, waiting?
>> And, yet, I am not well.
>> I'm an unused space, a burnt out hollow shell.
>> What sends me sliding down that slope?
>> The loss of him, the one I love.
>> He turned away and took all hope.
>> Too dead to care, too blind to see just what his love has done to me.
>> Yet, I feel nothing.
>> And, yet, again and again, I ask for nothing more.
>> I will not sleep, I cannot dream of him again.
>> He's gone and he's stripped my soul to bare, dead bones.
>> And yet, he doesn't know.
>> Evil, laughing twist of fate.
>> Wicked and wicked and so many kinds of wicked.
>> There's nothing left in me to break.
>> Licking flames of scorn and shame, even their greedy tongues do not hurt
>> me.
>> There is nothing left, he took the best of me.
>> I am no longer the person I used to be.
>> She is dead and gone with him, the one I love.

>> The bright spot is that with an honorable mention, I can submit the poem

>>
>> In only one of the five were the judge's comments included. In her
