THIS MONTH: My Faith, With Devotion

Dear Reader,
“Although life may seem unmanageable and God may seem far away, take hold to the truth that you are not alone. God is with you. He sees you. He can be the solid rock on which you lean. He can be the strength when you feel weak. He can turn your sorrow and mourning into something beautiful.”
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.
