Inspired by another thread, I'm curious as to what we feel we would be worthy of having in a partner. I realize that not everyone here seeks nor feels worthy of a romantic partner, so I've opted to drop the adjective. So if thinking about a significant other makes you uncomfortable, just...

I found myself giving someone some advice about this last night, and wonder what your ideas are. If you are friends with someone but start to care for them as more than just a friend, how would you go about telling this friend. Would you tell him/her/it at all, or try to content yourself with...

I'm glad your wife is pregnant with your second child. Really, I am. But I can't help looking at you and thinking of the direction my life could have taken. I even wrote a poem about it a few years back. But there's no way I'll ever let you read it.

Lots of us tend to dislike this date. Lots of us are lonely, and have difficulties initiating contact with others. So instead of sulking, let's do something about it! If you're up for it, just post in this thread. Tell us if you're male or female, and who you'd like to receive a Valentine from...

I did not steal this one from Confuseddd. He just happened to post his "Alone" before I posted mine. I promise. ;) Anyway, here's more sturm und drang to cheer you up. I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with this one yet, but this is good enough for now. And I'm not entirely sure sturm und drang...

As threatened, here it is. It's definitely not one of my better works, but what the hell.... I think I was in an Yngwie or power metal frame of mind when I wrote it. Just in case it's not obvious.... "Dragon's Eyes" Don't be afraid of the fury inside When you're looking into the dragon's eyes...

Alright, this one is quite a feat. Apparently a coworker of my sister wants to know if I'd be interested in meeting her niece. I've been told she's a "Colombian niece," though I'm unsure if that's in reference to her heritage or if she's currently living there. There's even a picture that goes...

After getting to sleep very late this morning, I was rudely awoken by my brother. "Luke, Dad found an injured red-tail on his way to work." A hawk that needs my assistance? Three hours of sleep be damned! Sure enough, Dad was parked out front with a hawk in his truck; he found it on the side of...

I've done it. You've probably done it. What are some of the stranger things you've found yourself reading about on Wikipedia? The other night I somehow ended up here. I think I started out reading about the Norway maple, but I'm not entirely sure. Coppicing Oddly enough, I'm intrigued at the...

One poet harps on pretty things; on baby's breath and angels' wings; on life and love, and rites of spring that ring in with the birds who sing. His heart is pure and beauty grows wherever this bright poet goes. He plants his dreams in tidy rows and always reaps just as he sows. This poet...

We have a thread for guys. We have a thread for girls. We have a voice thread. So here's the video thread. As long as it's not inappropriate, let's introduce ourselves to... ourselves! I'll start us off, though this is a bit quiet. But that's what happens when you record at 3 AM. YouTube - Hi...

I've never really liked the title, but here's one I recently dug up.... Men play God with bombs and guns; Women play God by aborting their sons. The children all burn the little bugs. Fear not. We still have hope. Stories say the future is bright, That life and love turn out alright. To see...

In my heart's Acropolis, Up on the hill There stands a lone figure Which frightens me still With its stern, empty visage That tells what he's done And hints at the demon I may yet become. He cradles a lute, With a sword in his hand As he stands there awaiting, Surveying the land. He shoulders a...

Like the title says, who are your heroes? Who do you look up to, find inspiration in, seek to emulate, etc.? Feel free to give reasons if you'd like. I'll start off with just three words: Lord Timothy Dexter Honestly! Just read about him. What's not to love? :D

Another thread about the paranormal made me think of this one. Are there any interesting myths, legends, or folk tales where you live? Maybe real-life events that happened a long time ago? Share them with us! Since I grew up in New Jersey, and southern New Jersey at that, I've been hearing...

WARNING: This is extremely long. Also contains gratuitous rhymes, medieval fantasy, and a love I've never personally experienced. When I finished this in about a week I was both proud and saddened. Proud because of what I had written, but saddened in the knowledge that I will probably never...

Apparently I'm going to Maryland to see my 8-month old cousin today. Pictures will follow, for all those who drool more over babies than the babies actually do themselves. :D

Yes, I know this is definitely not a dating site, but this is the only place I feel I could post this. Man Afraid of Women Seeks Woman Afraid of Men Lonely SWM, 28, seeks single female for possible LTR. Enjoys long walks on deserted beaches. Afraid to share pic, as prospective date will...

This is something I wrote almost a decade ago now. :eek: The bleakness of winter approaches fast. The sole remaining ember of my fire Glows faintly now upon the yellowed grass. As heat escapes, so does my heart's desire. The dying rays of sunlight fade away And usher in the silent frozen night...
