Creative Wednesday: Katelynne

Hey all! I'm sorry that Creative Wednesday has been on a bit of a hiatus lately. But hey, it's back now!

This week, I have some poems written by my friend Katelynne, who goes to my school. I only have two to share right here, but she's an amazing writer, so you should check her out on DeviantArt too. She has a lot more poetry on there, and I encourage you to go read some of it!

So here are the poems, and I hope you enjoy!

Close your eyes By Katelynne baby just close your eyes and turn away the world is burning and there's no need for you to see just close your eyes build up your walls the world is burning and there's nothing you can do so just close your eyes turn out the lights the world is burning and if you don't see it maybe it'll all go away open your eyes look around the world is still burning closing your eyes can only hide so many lies

Sticks and Stones By Katelynne Don't tell me sticks and stones hurt more than words ever will. Don't tell me a broken bone hurts more than a broken heart. I've heard it all before don't want to hear it again Because it's wrong. Sticks and stones are just sticks and stones but words are knives, bullets, dynamite. The only difference is you can't see the damage on the inside. Can you see the Band-Aids on my heart? Put a cast on your broken leg, wait for it to heal. But put a cast on your broken heart, try to hide your brokenness from the world. You can't heal a broken heart. If someone breaks, and no one around chooses to hear, do they make a sound? Or are they drowned out by the sound of life around them? Are they dismissed as background noise by the very people who say that they care? Can you hear the sound of hearts breaking? Open your eyes take the plugs out of your ears. And choose to see the broken hearts all around you.

So there you have it! Remember to check out Katelynne's DeviantArt page, and I'll be back again on Friday!

Creative Wednesday

Alright. First, I apologize for not posting this past Friday. I have no excuses - I just couldn't think of anything. To make up for it, I'm going to introduce a new thing for every week (or every other week, depending on how it goes) called Creative Wednesdays.

Creative Wednesdays is a feature where I showcase the creative endeavors of a person. This person will be a reader of this blog, or someone that I know personally. If I can't find anyone, then you'll probably get stuck with me. Now, I know you don't want that, so that's incentive to ask about being featured! More information at the end of the post.

This week, I have some poetry my brother wrote. He was nice enough to let me post his writing last-minute, which is awesome. Click the jump to check it out, and find out how you can get featured on my blog!
