Swing, Batter, Batter, Swing!
Putting my weight on my right foot, the foot closest to the catcher. Leaning back re-gripping my bat. I watched as that black haired pitcher powered up her pitch, rocking back and forth on her heals, taking in her găng tay now to her side and starting the wind-up. 'This is it,' I thought to myself, now taking the best grip on my bat, 2 balls and 2 strikes have passed bởi this plate and I am not letting this pitcher strike me out, hoặc walk me! I got ready the ball was realeased, and I heard the 'ump' say "Ball Outside".
I stepped out of the batters box, and took a couple swings. I HAD to hit this one, I just had to. As the pitcher retrieved the ball she took a couple wrist snap's into her glove, also having a goal, one that would block mine. I stepped into the batters box, filling the holes in made bởi other players feet who have batted before me. I lined up my bat with the plate making sure if that ball went right down the middle that my bat would be determind to hit that ball right to the outfield. As I had a stare-down with the pitcher, now in my stance to hit, I thought to my self, 'Swing early, but not too early, I hate the ball, I want to kill it and send it straight to the outfield. Concentrate. Keep your eyes on the ball."

The Pressure was on me. I was sweating like crazy on the inside of my helmet. It was the bottom of the 8th inning, the bases were loaded, and there's 2 outs. The games score was 11-15, I could get us to 12 runs if I hit a single, 13 runs, if a double, 14 runs if its a triple, and 15 runs if I get a grandslam. I could tie the entire game up.I can't bunt, unless, nope Tina is not a fast runner and she is on 3rd. I have one thêm chance to hit that ball straight to left field, not right to the outfielder though, over there head. If I hit a grounder to 1st hoặc 2nd chances are we lose. If I hit it to the outfield, the game could continue hoặc we could lose. My mind was thinking as fast as a super computer.

The wind-up began, I tigtened my grip but moved my hands up on the bat. The ball came as if it were in slow motion, I could tell it would be right were I wanted it, were the ball and the meat of my bat would meet. Where the ball would somehow just bounce off my bat, just like that. As the ball was half way between the pitchers mound, and me, I started my lung lay, swing the one that would send this ball to the outfield. As the ball was just crossing trang chủ plate, my bat was there to meet it, sort of like two intersecting roads, that vượt qua, cross eachothers paths. I heard the metal smaking onto the softball (not to mention that isn't actually to soft.) I quickly dropped my bat, running down the first baseline, hearing the crowd cheering in responce.
This was a good sign.
CHAPTER 1.
Sittting in the back ghế, chỗ ngồi of my Mom's blue mini van, palms sweating, I twisted my blonde hair around as she was driving me to softball try outs. 'What if I don't make it?' I thought. The night before I was almost positive I would be able to make this softball team, but now, I wasn't quite sure. Trying out for a softball leaugue an giờ away from where I live was a little much, but since are school sports were cut, I'll do whatever to be able to still play softball. We wer nearing the facility where I was goin to try out at. Butterflys flew around in my stomach tickling the insides of me.

It was a cold, breezy Autumn evening while Anna Brown, a reasonably fair girl, was watching EastEnders. She loved this programme and never missed it.

Anna, like I said, was a reasonably fair girl. Her kindness and helpfulness would sometimes flatter people. When she was a little girl, people used to 'oooh' and 'aaah' at her cuteness.
    
Soon Anna's Mother put her to bed. Her Mother told her to go to giường early that night for her Mother had a surprise in-store for her the tiếp theo morning. It was for Anna's 9th birthday and she was extremely excited.

Eddie just sat there in the plain dark room, looking at the many tubes coming from the floor to the ceiling. He wondered how far away he was from home, he wondered what his parents thought, and if they'd already called the police, trying to look got him. He estimated that it had been about 3 day's sence he'd been taken. Now he could tell that it was getting dark, he wasn't sure how though, the room was dark, had no windows and was cold and damp. He thought that he might starve down there, sence the mutants hadn't been down there for some time now. He really thought that they were just messing...

There are things in your every ngày life that bạn never take a một giây glance at. They're just there, noting to ponder over hoặc to think about. Here are two short tribute poems to some overlooked objects in life.

Fountain

The màu xanh tươi, ultramarine colored water
Dances down through a maze of marble obstacles
Creating clear rainbows across the sheer water's surface.

A carpet of copper and silver glints at the bottom
Coins
Lost with memory of young children
Wishing for new puppies
Ice cream cones
Hot chó for dinner
For bedtime stories to become flesh
A cat in a hat to come skipping off the pages.

Everything is in this...

"Oh my god Starr! Oh I didn't mean to surprise you! Well I did but I didn't know bạn would faint! Oh wake up Starr!" Elliot's voice rang out
I feel him shaking me. I can't bring myself to open my eyes to see him.
"Well I guess I have to be like that prince in sleeping beauty and Kiss bạn awake," his voice rang out again. I feel pressure on my body
My eyes shoot open just in time before Elliot kisses me. I push him off.
"Get the hell of off me bạn idiot!" I yell standing up. I brush myself. I rub the back of my head that is stinging in pain. I feel wet stuff come off my head. I look at it...

Creating a world, whether for fantaisie of sci-fi, is no easy task. Worlds contain wonders of all kinds, plus various cultures, climates, and creatures. From my own research, many writers use parts of this world, the "real" world, as the basis for their own worlds. I've compiled this guide from personal experience. Wherever possible, I've included examples. (Note: othe examples can be found in various places on this site. The avid user can find them with relative ease.)

The universe is a big place. Your world has to be somewhere. Its position in the universe could affect your characters...

Alone!

There once was a girl who biked and ran
with her best friend who had a bright trái cam, màu da cam tan
But then one ngày she when biking alone
and thats when she fell along way from home.

She lay still on the ground
not makeing a sound,and thats when she found
that she could not talk
let alone walk

As she slowly made her way home
she wished that she had a phone
so she could call for help
insted of put up with the pain that made her yelp.

She pushed her bike down the dusty track
with a sore haed and an acking back
Then she came to the place where her and her best friend met
just as the sun was begining to set

The tiếp theo ngày at school she was no where in sight
which gave her best frined a very big fright
but she was a trang chủ tucked up in bed
with a sore leg and an acking head

Thats when she remebered what her best friend had đã đưa ý kiến
about not going out bikeing alone
along way from home.

What do bạn think?(I think it is very bad) and sorry of the spelling.

You
It's the middle of the night,



And I can't sleep




Your face, planted with a smile



Are the only things I see




Your voice calling my name



Is the only thing I hear




I can feel your hand rubbing my back



Hearing bạn whisper ''good night''




I jump and look around,



And soon realize bạn are not there




I sob, tightly holding the gift bạn once gave me



It's right here, on my bed, in perfect condition.




30 phút later, I wipe my face and go back to sleep…




I wake up once again



And the cycle starts all over again…

your mistakes don't define you, now. they don't tell bạn who you're not, hoặc who bạn can never be. what's it take to get bạn to say you'll try? you've got to live this life like it's the only one you've got. what would bạn say, what would bạn do, if this was your last day? so, bạn found out today that life's not the same. not quite as good as yesterday.
and, yes, i know it hurts & i know your pain, but u never gave up this easily befor. such a beautiful thing to just throw away. i think bạn need to know that, of all the màu sắc that bạn shine, this is surely not your best, it's really not your style. bạn should think about what bạn do, befor bạn do it, over and over again. i know bạn feel alone, that know one can figure bạn out, but bạn sould know that we just tình yêu to see bạn smile.i know bạn feel like you're lost, feel like you've drifted way to far away, but we can help bạn come back.

I wrote this yesterday when me and my boyfriend had a big fight and it's a fight that may go on for a long time. I know I am young to write something like this but, I guess it helps. Plus If bạn don't like it just tell me, ok?

The Power of Words
bạn and I had this big long fight,
It felt like the storm during the night.
It was verry sad and cold,

My Những người bạn had to like bạn a lot
and bạn felt like I forgot,
forgot about you.
But I had a prodject due.

bạn think you're mr. I'm so cool
but bạn used to act like a ghool.
Not to the people bạn love,
to the sensetive people like a dove.

How we spoke with eachother,
made bạn feel much better.
But the fight we had,
bạn đã đưa ý kiến was nothing but it was bad.

See ya pal we're ova,
take the cell bạn gave me and do me a fava.
Just don't ever,
Never...
Talk to me again!

Example of the Maiden
At night, far away, in ancient Japan...
A fair maiden slumbered, only to be awakened bởi blood curdling screams. She open her eyes to a frightening sight, the bodies of her most beloved servants and close relatives astray on the floor, lifeless, dead. She hastily slide open the doors to her room, and ran down the corridor, which was lit with the moonlight that seeped through the paper doors, which were now drenched in blood.
Though her limbs felt heavy, she ran as fast as her tim, trái tim beat. Running away from the cries of her family still being slaughtered bởi an unknown murderer, away from what...

The Man With No Eyes Collection (1): The Actor




Sundown, sunrise.

Big smile!

(Tired eyes.)

I vanish into thin air.

An actor never fails.

(Lies.)

To give the world a rousing show

(While begging to be recognized.)

To shine as brightly as the sun

Upon the ngôi vua, ngai vàng that we’ve devised.

A patchwork-quilt protagonist

A villain from the shadow realm

The work of the illusionist

When I, the actor, take the helm.

“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to see…”

The whisper marks my story’s birth.

The audience will gather ‘round.

(The jury to decide my worth.)


"The Man With No Eyes" is a series of poems, all of which are unfolding from one character's point of view. They are meant to represent an ongoing journey. So if bạn liked this one, stay tuned for more. :)
A/N: I finished nghề viết văn this about five phút ago, lol. It's actually a song, but I figured it would fit as a poem as well.

This poem/song was inspired bởi two things: 1) A few of my yêu thích anime couples, namely Ed x Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist and Hoshino x Tanabe from Planetes (AWESOME series). And 2) while my dad was in Iraq, he heard "My Immortal" for the first time and đã đưa ý kiến he loved the idea behind it...but it was too sad/depressing because "the chorus was in past tense instead of present tense." So he asked me if maybe I could take the same concept and do my own thing with it. I...
