And I a starling
Who cannot sing as well.
Her words have sweet sorcery
Of their own making.
Mine can cast no magic spell."

"She was beyond compare, and
When I saw her sitting there, a
Lil’ green man on the table
Winked and said, “It’s all a fable.”

But as the years come and go,
Down, ‘way deep in my heart I know,
The lil’ green man was wrong, for
She gave to me a golden song."
Excerpt of Little Green Man by Percy Ervafaythe in J. Ed Newman's, The Web, Number 88

"Don’t cry or whimper if the road is rough,
Falter not because stones cut your feet –
For Life is a race and the goal you’ll reach
When all obstacles you bravely defeat."
Onward, by Josephine H. Voracek

"A curse on all those optimists!
I’ll show them with swords or fists;
But words are still my biggest stay;
I learn a new one every day.
And denounce all who would declare –
“Tis always spring if thoughts are fair."
The Cynic, a poem by Walter Ward Hamill and part three of Forget, a story by Jaroslav Chmelicek, debuted in The Yankee, Volume 1, Number 6.

A secret deep below;
It’s best to not uncover
Some things we must not know."

"The voice of experience would plead against a certain over-eagerness to please the critics, a quite unnecessary timorousness lest the writer unwittingly offend. Let these authors and editors come to quick realization of these truths, fundamental to success in self-expression. Forget the critics and write to express yourself, and in your writing be yourself."
