Please, do allow me to cry, for
I confess, lying here, pooled
in my wretched emotions,
I, myself, cannot even
interpret the answer. So,
kindly, callously, remove
your consoling hand, and wait
outside until my tears end!

I do encourage you to read my note under “Ad Lib” to grasp this poem’s context. No, I’m not depressed; I’m just trying to convey a fabulous story. 🙂
Pretty good! 🙂

Hello,
Welcome to The Rose! This is my literary corner of the internet, dedicated to all things creative writing. Here is where I keep a collection of my work. This includes everything from poems to short stories to writing tips, aka my collection of AD-Libs. I hope you enjoy what I have written here and are able to relate to my work. But ultimately, I hope this site inspires you to love writing as much as I do!
Writing Like a Rose: With Beauty, Thorns, Addiction, Dedication, and Inspiration.
Please see the “About” pages for more information!!
Feedback: Criticism is welcomed!! And, feel free to leave comments if you like or dislike something.
What’s here: See the different categories for different poem formats! They include sestinas, villanelles, sonnets, etheree, semi-perfect sonnets, haiku and others.
Most recently published: “Political violence”, an etheree, and “Rubbing my mother’s feet”, a villanelle.
Important: Due to the story’s sensitive nature, the sestina, “Coming to America”, is password protected. If you would like the password, please email me at magnoliamclean@comcast.net.
AD-Lib is here! You can view previous AD-Libs under the “AD-Libs” tab to get some great tips on your writing and find out what is going through my head as I write. You can also view old Ad-Libs by year under the “Archived Entries” tab.
Coming soon: You’ll be surprised! ;) I always try to keep this site updated, so there’s always something new here!
