Poetry and a lot more...
Words touch us. One of the things that makes human beings special is our ability to communicate with language. Without getting too philisophical about my passion for words, language, and writing, let me just say that this is my favorite part of the site. Enjoy.
This is a family-oriented site, and I take that responsibility very seriously. For that reason, you should know that most of the stories and poems here were written with adults in mind. I have not and will never include pieces here of a gratuitously violent or sexually explicit nature. Know, though, that some of the language and subject matter on the following pages may be inappropriate for small children.
There are quite a few postings on these pages that were sent to me with no author or publisher listed. I have assumed that these pieces are not copyrighted and posted them here, anyway. If you see something on these pages that should be removed or if you see something copyrighted that is not credited appropriately, please notify me via email so that I can rectify the problem.
I am thrilled that I have received and been able to find so many military-oriented pieces to post. Because this site is themed around military families, it's only appropriate that most of the pieces here also have a military theme. However...I encourage you all to submit non-military pieces as well. Happy reading, everyone. I hope you enjoy these pages as much as I do.
Everybody's Free
TOUCHING TO TORCHING - FICTION & PROSE:
Everything from Chicken Soup to political commentaries to news articles. I want to see writing that moved you - to love, to tears, to action, or even to anger. Let's see those submissions.
OUR FICTION AND PROSE:
This is the section for stories, opinions, and thoughts that WE have written. Original thoughts from original people.
POETRY:
This page is chock-full of poetry. There is a special place here for military poetry, original poetry, and poetry we've found along the way that touched us.
QUOTES & ONE-LINERS:
My favorite place here. Quotes and One-Liners can make a more profound statement than an entire tome written on the same subject. "Words are more powerful when used with judgement and economy." See.
FUNNIES:
Make us laugh guys...let's hear it.
