http://www.writerscafe.org/writers/Kestrel The original writings of author Twilight en-us Copyright 2009 Aresta Enterprise LLC 1258850265 Aresta RSS Generator 15 A homage to an arts venue in the city of Derby (England), which is called QUAD. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478973/ This piece praises the potential of artistic creativity, in terms of how the artist may benefit on an individual level. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478970/ This poem, is a homage to creativity, especially the Visual Arts and writers. Also, it praises self-expression and our individuality. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478969/ An erotic poem, which is also rather dark in tone. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478965/ This poem portrays a sequence of events, and relates to my short stories, "The Crypt"and "Blood At The Witching Hour". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478959/ A simple but concise critique, of a few minor complaints of mine, regarding modern society. How easily, people accept the technological advice and claims, which are sold to them, and related concepts. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478956/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/478837/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/449672/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/449666/ A homage to one of my favourite venues, in the city of London (England). http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/446148/ This poem attempts to portray, the perspective of a tourist in England. (I did not specifically have London in mind). Also, it aims to make the reader think, of the contrast between presentation and reality. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/446147/ An example of "dark poetry", which also has a moral message... http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/436993/ A poem which is an "indictment" of various aspects of modern society. And, they seem to be getting worse.... http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/425487/ This charter was granted by King John of England, on June 15th 1215. In total, this historic document lists 63 liberties for the citizens of England. Perhaps, it is now time for Magna Carta 2.0? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/420628/ Written for Rebecca Roger's Contest: "Forbidden Beach". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/418410/ This poem is quite ambiguous in some respects, as I intended. It concerns a young sailor on a ship, as it is taking on water and about to capsize. And then, something mysterious happens to him..... http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/418339/ I enjoyed writing this piece. Hopefully, you will enjoy reading it! Make of it, what you will..... http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/417153/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/415259/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/414939/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/414929/ I wrote this in view of the June 4th European Parliamentary Election. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/414911/ A homage to my two favourite writers of "weird fiction", H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/414880/ The protagonist in this poem, is what used to be known as a "fallen woman". However, how literally should this be interpreted by the reader? In other words, was she once a worker in the world's so-called "oldest profession", or simply immoral? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/413136/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/409451/ This piece is a comment on intelligence, and what it is really worth to us. Indeed, how does it compare with other human attributes? Clearly, without a combination of human traits to complement it, surely one's intelligence has little value? Or, does it? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/408947/ Like a weight, modern life can press down on us sometimes. This poem was written with that subject in mind, for one of Angela's Contests. In this piece, I ask the reader to think about what working means to them? Is it just the wages, or much more? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/400999/ This one is closer to a mini-story than a poem, perhaps? It is both dark and erotic, yet still a morality tale. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/399458/ In this poem, I express those primal fears of growing old, our absurd (and ultimately futile) efforts to delay the aging process. Also, there is a reminder of how we sometimes try to seek solace in fond memories. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/399450/ I wrote this poem, with thoughts of death and the inevitabilty of our final destination. After all, death is never far away. The "undead" in this piece, are simply representations of our foes and problems in life. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/399437/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/398749/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/398746/ A short homage to my two favourite science fiction authors, Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick. They will never be forgotten. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/398742/ Written with a specific Contest in mind, this poem seeks to portray a tranquil garden or paradise. This is just one of my ideas of Heaven. It is a calm and relaxing place, where visitors can wander with freedom and admire nature's beauty. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/398117/ In this poem, the concept of heaven is described from the point of view which angels might adopt. Also, how would they perceive our world below? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/392927/ This poem is a call for people to face the dark times which we face with resolve and honesty, rather than hiding away in the hope that our future will brighten without sufficient effort from ourselves. It is bleak and dark in tone, but that is in fitting http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/392917/ I wrote this for a contest. It was inspired by someone I met in 1998. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/387389/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/382311/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/382310/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/380211/ This is a fantasy story, and a sequel to "Torquemada". The narrative takes place, on the planet Caros, in the Carilliorn solar system. These events occur, approximately one month after the conclusion of that tale. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/376040/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/374734/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/374730/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/374722/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/371885/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/370434/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/370430/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/368376/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/368338/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/368331/ http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Kestrel/368330/
