Travelling on a near empty subway, Completely relaxed, thoughts playfully drifting astray. Staring blankly, smiling like a fool, Enjoying the wide open space, harnessing its comfort as a creative tool; Enjoying the car’s gentle wobble, Neurons with words play tag, Stress to the face hit by a frag. The train’s sound becomes that of a […]
“I rent time for people to read, Frau McClain. Time for people who have no time to spare.” Strauss’ eyes twinkled. (Loc. 192-193) I picked up To Read or Not to Read by Vincent Hobbes a few years ago and I rated it pretty low because I didn’t know at the time that I was reading a short […]
Many worlds have I seen, On the roads to great adventures I have been. Many lives I have lived, In different atmospheres I have breathed. Countless worlds and lives I’ve seen lost, As goodwill and morality aside were tossed. I have witnessed heroes rise and smite cruelty incarnate down Treated with great respect, yet… as […]
Under the shade of a weeping willow tree In a secluded corner where no-one can see Half-obscured by branches drooping low I take a deep breath, and I let myself go I close my eyes and block out the stress Sigh softly at the breeze’s gentle caress I dig my fingers into the dirt and […]
I have always been a dreamer. I set goals for myself. I look at things and try to imagine what is possible and then hope to surpass those boundaries. Instead of going for a song, I decided to bring Michael Jackson on eLitere through his 1988 book, Moonwalk. Usually, I’m not exactly interested in autobiographies, […]
A few months ago I received a message from an indie author who spoke about her debut novel on Twitter. I was so impressed with the subject of the book that I really wanted to read it, but I was also wondering whether it was going to be a heavy/emotional read or if it was […]
Alina answered the questions from a similar tag (A Song Title Book Tag) back in May, so I thought… why not add a new one? If you want to watch the original video, go to BrunetteBibliophile. I love the fact that this tag comes with Disney songs – hence the name – and the connection between music […]
While on my lonely couch I lie, I seldom feel myself alone, For fancy fills my dreaming eye With scenes and pleasures of its own. Then I may cherish at my breast An infant’s form beloved and fair, May smile and soothe it into rest With all a Mother’s fondest care. How sweet to feel […]
I’ve been meaning to write this for a long time, but it never seemed like the right moment. Why now? Well, Mihaela asked me to write about someone inspiring and that’s quite a generous topic. Who was I supposed to choose? There are so many people out there who deserve our attention and you already […]
The Frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind. The owlet’s cry Came loud—and hark, again! loud as before. The inmates of my cottage, all at rest, Have left me to that solitude, which suits Abstruser musings: save that at my side My cradled infant slumbers peacefully. ‘Tis calm indeed! so calm, that it […]
