Poetry Corner: To be a Poet

By Crystal Canole

To be a poet
is to share bare emotions.
Opening ones self
to the nakedness of the soul.

When discovering raw emotion
the beauty shows through words.
Not everyone can bare emotion
thankfully this ability is in me.

To share my feelings out loud
allows me to understand my thoughts. 
To know what is truth
is better than wishing.

Truth shows rational ideas
wishing leads to disappointment.
In writing I find truth
of what I am truly feeling.

Ghost Stories: Radar App on Droid

By Crystal Canole

I have been using the radar app for quite a few months now.  I had stopped using it for a while but then my grandfather passed away and I decided to try and contact him.  He is an amazing many and I was having a really difficult time trying to deal with my grief.

I asked:

Are you okay Grandpa?  Are you in Heaven?  

Verbal responses I got where:

alright, satisfied

In the bottom right corner of the app letters sometimes pop up but rarely words.  It spelt out:

WWWWWWWFFFFFFFFFJJJJJJJJJ

I interpreted this to mean With Father Jesus.  This made me feel more at ease.  Is the app completely reliable?  I do not know, but in the days following this episode, weirder things happened.

Poetry Corner: Love Of My Life

By Crystal Canole

The love of my life
Scares me to death.
To give my all
May leave me with nothing.

I am the strong one
When he is weak.
Will he be there for me
Or will He not be?

To live life without him
Is to not live with love.
The love of my life is not perfect
But he's everything I want.
