  • Woes = Two Dozen Bears  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    I’m part Cherokee Native American, and once worked for the National Park Service. As part of my job, I went up this winding mountain trail that was both narrow and long, as the rangers told me to go see their bears, and a six hundred pound black bear raced down the trail, blocking my path. I menacingly advanced, and the bear turned away around, going straight uphill back all the way he’d come. I think my backpack scared him, as it was huge and loomed over me, causing him to get scared and leave.
  • The Crystallizing of Gondwanaland  By : Karen Cole Peralta

  • Roses of Sharon  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    ( I wrote this poem in honor of any non-Japanese who
    kept Japanese-American property safe on Bainbridge
    Island, WA, during the WWII Japanese-American
    Internment. If there even were any such people. Most
    other Americans ripped off J-A property, and bought
    their houses from the US government for cheap. )

  • My Word Program  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    I wrote this on a day with a lot of ennui, in order to have some more poetry in my portfolio. I get a lot of gestalt and circumstance when I'm on the computer, which is the main love of my life nowadays, and I have to work hard to come up with new material in order to create new poems. It's tempting to add a lot of nonsense and non fortuitous circumstances to my material, but I have to transcend such witless behavior and manifest new ideas and formats for my poetry at all times.

  • LARGE Death Concentration Camps  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    I wrote this after finding out that Wyoming, Nebraska and Alaska now hold large internment camps, and the Katrina hurricane victims are now stowed away in some of those. There is a two million bed mental institution in Alaska and they have been sending people from that to other places. You can look these places up on the Internet, and there are arial photographs. They seem to have spread over the Bering Straight into Alaska from Russian Siberia.
  • Beautiful City  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    Tennyson wrote this centuries or so ago, and I ran across it during the Moslem riots in France. We've been at war, Christians, Jews and Moslems, for a very long time. It seemed timeless, so I decided to try to make an updated version of my own with the same original spirit that Sir Alfred managed to put into it...somehow.
  • Autumn Leaves Never Die  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    I wrote this poem after wondering how it is that falling dead leaves could be so attractive; in short, what is the purpose of their loveliness, and what exactly are they meant to do with it?
  • About Watergate  By : Karen Cole Peralta
    I wrote this due to being haunted by the lengthy and hideously boring Watergate trials and the two subsequent murder trials, the Scott Peterson and the OJ Simspon ones, which were equally hideous and boring as Watergate. It imperils the mind to consider those three trials.

    We all like to jump right in when we're excited about something new, like a new hobby. Cross stitch is no exception. Many of us try to tackle a project that's simply too big when we first start out. We overlook that we're a cross stitch beginner, and we buy a kit that overwhelms us.

Jumping into the deep end can cause you to get discouraged almost immediately.
  • History of Pirates  By : JD Theis..
    Where did pirates originate from?

Considering that we are just as crazy about treasure hunts as the pirates of old were, we wanted to get to the bottom of this enigma! What we came to realize was that the origins of piracy may never be known. In fact, piracy and treasure hunting has probably existed since ships were able to traverse the oceans. We will try to stick with what we know, and examine the interesting and fascinating timeline of pirates!
