In fears

In fears

In fears

In fears I fight with feckless fury, 
losing lengthy bouts, unfraught with glory. 

Endless days evolve into light-less fright, 
daylight shines the same as night. 

Forgotten moments remembered sorely, 
feign a laugh in tearful mourning. 

Unwanted faces fill my mind, 
fractal memories, intertwined.

Horror sounds a shrill alarm, 
afraid, no escape from misery's harm. 

Shiver, shake and tremble loud, 
pushing back the blackest shroud. 

Nightmares fill my waking hours, 
sleep holds back restoring powers. 

Unleashed monsters, from dawn to dark, 
blinding billows of dark so stark. 

Dread pursues from each direction, 
never finding calm reflection. 

Sagacious specters haunt my life, 
with ferocious fervor filled with strife. 

Shadows stalk my thoughts and desires, 
singe them with infernal fires. 

Despair devolves into a dirge of delirium, 
requiring a recitation of remorseful requiem.

Friendless fiends obscure my view, 
from finding peace, each day, I rue.

Stephen King’s “What Writing Is”

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft    “What Writing Is” I have written an article in another Blog summarizing several sections in Stephen King's book. This article is about another section of his intriguing book. Stephen King’s “What Writing Is” 4. What Writing Is —pp.103-107 Stephen King suggests: “Telepathy, of course.” Writing is telepathy. Telepathy is defined as “the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.” In modern fiction and science fiction, many superheroes and super-villains are endowed with telepathic abilities. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference. (Wikipedia) Writing about telepathy, King suggests that we are “downstream on the time-line”. We are in the here-and-now and as he writes from the past, he

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels I recently joined a community on Google+ called "The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time". The moderator,   +Brandon Toropov  suggested we post our Top Ten Greatest Novels of All Time List. There are so many great books that I haven't yet read. There are so many authors that I have read that deserve to be mentioned and that I haven't chosen to be on my list (Tolstoy, Twain, James, A. Huxley, Orwell, Austen, Faulkner, J.F. Cooper, Koestler, Conrad, Kipling). Some of the authors whose works I chose had other novels to choose from for my list: Dostoevsky -- “the Bothers Karamazov” and “The Idiot”, Steinbeck -- “Of Mice and Men”, Tolkien -- “The Hobbit”, Hemmingway -- “A Farewell to Arms”, Bronte “Wuthering Heights”. I could go on and on for these authors. The novels I have chosen have altered my views about life or influenced my worldview in some way.
