The Tale of How a Princess Lost Her Sleep and How a Prince Found It
The princess meandered dreamily over a wind-soaked, grassy hill. Lifting her arms as if she could fly, she spun around several times before collapsing into the tall grass. There must be an interjection here, lest a certain disillusionment continue any longer. In all of the legends, the princess is always gloriously beautiful, with hair like the sun, or a raven's wing, or in the manner of some such romantic notion. It must be confessed now, that our princess was not one of these. Her hair was a commonplace brown, her skin was much too pale, her eyes much too dark, and th
Every time
Goodbye
Always goodbye
There is a new place
And for awhile
I am content
I am happy
Then it comes
That day
And everything is ripped away again
Again
Like paper in the wind
And I close the door on another part of life
I lock it behind me
That is the way
I wash the wisps of it out
Forget the past
This is my life
The way it was
The way it will be
Always
Goodbye

Goldilocks and the Three Bears
(A Fairy Tale for the Politically Correct)
By Annie Buller
Once upon time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She liked to play in the woods. One day Goldilocks was playing in a part of the forest that she had never been in before and she was getting very hungry. She noticed a cute little cottage between the trees and decided to go and ask for a snack.
She knocked at the door, but there was no answer. When she tried the doorknob, however, she discovered that the door was unlocked and pushed it open. "This is very unsafe," she said to herself, forgetting that she was glad it was unlocked. "My hou
Love did not come to me with roses
Showered in perfume
And slowly dance around me
Love did not come hiding
Peeking from behind a bush
Sheltered in the shadows
Until it gained the courage to come out
Love did not come with a wind
Jumping out before me saying
"You're mine!"
Love came up to me softly, quietly
Walked beside me
Then slipped its hand in mine
And said quietly, "Guess who?"
Let me not forget that I am yours
You are my God
I have given all I have
I have surrendered to your care
Oh, but I sometimes grasp
At the thread of life
I've given up
Let me not forget that I am not my own
Nothing I have or give is mine, but yours
Don't let me forget
Don't let me take my life back
I am helpless in my frailties
What is there for me to do
Let me not forget that I am bought
I am bought with the highest price
The price of your blood
You have taken my debt upon yourself
And still, I am ungrateful
My words, they scorn your gift
My deeds, they soil your claim
Don't let me forget
Don't let me take my life back
I

What You Always Wanted to Know About Copyright Pages but Were Afraid to Ask
A Creative Composition by Annie Buller
You may think that writing a copyright page is easy and that anyone could do it. But oh no, my friend, you would be wrong in that. The copyright page is perhaps the most important page in a book. Writing one is a very delicate task that requires one to be creative, diligent, and an introspective thinker. Many people have started to write a copyright page only to finish as completely different person. It is a strange phenomenon, but for some reason, writing this page causes most people to stop and take a different, deeper l
