my heart belongs to: Contest Winner

By Anonymous


Written by Bean_of_Spooks


Saheeli wrote an absolute amazing poem for the weekly Poetry Writers Contest on Nanowrimo. I loved to read about it, because I can relate.


Here's what Counted said about Saheeli's poem:


my heart belongs to:(my true family), by saheeli - Man I love this poem so much. It’s so beautiful in your detailed descriptions of why you love these people, and I can feel your emotion radiating out of these words. This is so, so, so meaningful.


And here is Saheeli's poem:


my heart belongs to: (my true family)


i: my sister, forever and always. you are the most important person in my life, though i do little to let you know that. when you were born, my heart twisted to accommodate you. i was your age then. i held you for the first time, and though i was too young to describe my feelings, i knew that i would never let you go. when you grow, will we stay together? or will we fall apart like the generation before us? i don’t think i could bear ever losing you. perhaps we’ll stay in each other’s orbit, swinging by once in a moon. or perhaps we’ll be binary objects once more, staying with each other until the terminal moments of time. either way, we will stay heartsisters, if only out of pure spite and love.


ii: my mother. sacrifice is rarely easy, and yet, you make it seem like the simplest thing in the world. every step you take is calculated out of love for me and my sister. how do you do it? we disagree sometimes; okay, well, a lot. but can anyone replace your place in my heart? i admire you most in the world, though, as you tell me, i would not want to grow up to be you. our love is the most constant thing in my life, and for that, i am glad. i could not deal with this family without you. i wish i could tell you everything in the entire world. and yet, here we are, with a bulwark of secrets between us. i know you love me, and i love you. but would you love me the same if you really knew me?


iii: my uncle. you have been by my side ever since my first breaths, and, as you joke, your first salary. even though twenty years separate us, it doesn’t matter very much. i know you’re my real alien brother, and mummy’s just adopted. you always look out for me, and though it’s been a sempiternity since we last met, i know it’ll be okay, just like you say.


iv: my cousins. my darlings, you are almost half a decade old now. i’ll be honest with you: it doesn’t get much better. we’ve been ripped apart by the cruel forces of fate and family. you are so close (220 miles) and yet so far away. will i ever get to hold you in my arms again? will i get to read you stories? will we watch dinosaur movies together? perhaps that’s one of the reasons i see my little kids every monday: sometimes, maybe, there’s a chance they’ll remind me of the two of you. i love you more than you can imagine, my dears. all i can say to you is this: i’ll grow up as fast as i can so we are not restricted by the inane constraints of real life problems. but you two don’t grow up: enjoy every last moment of your childhoods. your didi is eagerly awaiting the day we meet again.


v: my best friend. my dearest, i love you. that much is certain, because love is a strange thing. what is the point of labeling love? it refuses to follow any boundaries mere mortals set for it, tracing a trail of hearts that only we know. i think you know me better than anyone else in the world, for you know not just me, but my flaws, my shortcomings, my problems, of which there are many. and yet, you’re still here, and i love you even more for that. you are certainly the best friend that i’ve ever had and probably will have. and certainly the best girlfriend i’ve ever had. but words are quite inadequate, especially when it comes to you. people our age say "i love you" and they don't often mean it, for what is such a phrase worth when it's bandied about so carelessly? but have they been through what we have? when i say i love you, words cannot quite describe what i mean; you're my family, darling, chosen not blood. our love twists and turns, but it’s always there, and that, perhaps, is what i love most about it and you. love means putting them in front of yourself. i would fight the world for you, my love, if only to see you smile your dewdrop smile.


This was really amazing as I said before. Show your love please <3 There were so many great poems.

Biblio-Files: The Secret Garden

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing The Secret Garden. Published in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's a fantastic book about enjoying the outdoors and how much a good friend can help someone out. The good message and excellent writing make it a beloved classic still read today, over 100 years later. She also wrote "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," both books I have read and enjoyed, though I believe this is her best one. With its folksy characters and low-key plot, this book is perfect for readers who want to read at a slower pace. It talks a lot about the benefits of being outside and being kind to animals, but it doesn't feel overly preachy. The main characters are Mary, a sickly Indian girl, Dickon, a boy who can talk to animals, and Colin, the son of the master of the house. Together they bring a secret garden to life, becoming as strong and bright as the roses they grew within the ivy-covered walls. I, personall...

The Character Files: 01. Katniss Everdeen: The Girl on Fire, the Mockingjay, and the YA Icon

By
THE CHARACTER FILES 01. The Girl On Fire Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article I'll be writing that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Starting off, I'll cover the face of young adult dystopia herself - Katniss Everdeen. There will be spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, so be warned! From The Mockingjay Part 1 Risen from the Ashes (Background) “District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games   As were most of the non career districts, District 12, Katniss’ birthplace, was rife with poverty. Disease and starvation were rampant, many people dying from them. (It is interesting to note that, despite seeing ill people frequently since her mother treats them, Katniss is not desensitized to seeing sickness. In fact, she is one of the least desensitized to it.) And...

Comparing Digital Art Programs

By
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita  - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want. It gives you access to all  brushes, colors, and other settings from the beginning without extra purchases. It's also quite advanced and powerful. Some drawbacks of Krita are that there is a learning curve, as the interface can be quite tricky. It's also very laggy and slow, especially on older laptops. (P.S.: If you like the software, consider donating to the Krita Foundation! They work on this software for free, and it's always nice to give back.) FireAlpaca - FREE FireAlpaca...
