the train
shutters
swerves
rambles
crumbles,
its insides
smash apart
the wheels
loosen off
broken tracks.

A Flash Fiction
crunching snapping gravel walls, plummet above the earth. all that remains of a councilmen's house that was shot in a giant canon. below the newly ploughed green grass hills stands a huddle mass of people screaming revolution. in the distance a ranking rotting warped blunt bladed guillotine hovers over a man pleading for his life. the leader of the mob speaks.
"enough of your prattling, its time for you to punish for all you've done."
"but..." the council man began.
"you have taken our rulers who dictate our every action, imprisoning us in this so called freedom!"
"your mad!" the council man said.
"kill him!" the leader said as the mass of people echoes his words as the blade falls.

One Winter's Morn
A soft
Billowy sound
Moves the pines
Where suspended
Icicles
Sway a tinkling
Merry tune,
As a steady
Falling
Soft
Mushy
Cold glaze
Smothers the forest.

Shut Up and Admire the Art
Criticism: the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.
this is important in analyzing art to see what's significant or insignificant by our own opinions and to question
why this is? For this reason there is such articles discussing such merits, even i have written some criticism
to write my thoughts on certain matters but though all of this is good and necessary i worry that people do
not take a moment to just look at art and let it speak for itself. rather i fear it is being studied like a
meticulous math equation. For this reason i shall now put some art after this post to look at and see
what it says of itself, i hope you do the same.

Bad Zombie Story Ideas
As i was watching some zombie show the other day i spotted some serious issues in the story as well as poor use of logic. so i decided to write about these poor choices here.
Isolationism
First off, in a lot of these zombie stories, is the constant distrust of human beings, especially when you first meet, as well as fighting among humans,and only trusting a core group. if there ever was a zombie apocalypse, doing this would be as logical as letting zombies roam free while shooting every human being on sight. as Abraham Lincoln once said "A house divided against itself cannot stand." in proof look at the history of the Native Americans. yes for the most part,what happened was white mans fault, but if all tribes united to kick out white man say before the french and Indian war or during. history would be a whole another story but they stayed divided, different tribes fought different sides of the war and you know what happened after. point is, if you stay an isolationist in this zombie world your already dead. what should have been written is someone, group, or form of government uniting all the people to fight off this zombie threat.
Gun Propaganda
Speaking of forms of government there is another issue that happens a lot in these narratives. finding a community taking peoples guns to keep things safe only to be proven wrong by our newly arrived main characters or having zombies invade the place. two words, Zombie Apocalypse why in hell would any community do something like this, your at war with a brainless dead plague and your getting rid of a large army for a small security team (that sounds like the sort of logic are troops should use in battle. THE LAST SENTENCE YOU READ WAS SARCASM) point is they need every armed person they can get and they shouldn't distrust anyone unless there a stupid criminal choosing to still do bad deeds but that's a rare exception and anyways if you point out how this criminal needs to work together with everyone for s(he)'s own survival. they'll help and you'll only need someone to watch over s(he). point is, this kind of story doesn't need to deal with this political issue.and if they still chose to do it they need to execute it in a non preachy way having both points of view on the issue seem to be right.
zombies are the threat not humans in this kind of narrative. i get that you need to have tension from your main characters but you can do that in other ways that are more believable and without personal agendas. Have someone get scared and let fear lead them to do something stupid or in a fight let someone get shell shock, that i can believe it feels authentic.

How I Review Drama
Hello once again to the few readers of my blog, as you read from this tittle you know what i am typing about so lets begin with a definition of drama.
- a genre or style of literature.
- an exciting, emotional, or unexpected series of events or set of circumstances.
Now here's my view on this, out of all the genres of fiction drama (when done right) is the most like real life thus it smacks of reality.
so imagine someone beating you up
This might seem odd but if your really alive chances are you got hurt over something. All the best writers of drama wrote at least somewhat of tragic events in there lives like losing a loved one. this is where drama can be its most potent.
so this is how i differ good drama from bad.
BAD DRAMA PUMMELS
in other words it keeps bombarding you with one dastardly dramatic event after another non stop. if this goes on to far the piece becomes entirely unbelievable after all theirs always some good that occurs in life even under trying circumstances.
GOOD DRAMA IS A ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT
This is best used when focusing on a single dramatic point. setting it up subtlety into a steadily rising action building to a climax that brings the whole point of the drama to light.
Well there you have it i hope this blogs been to your liking and makes sense.

A Poem
In my last blog i made an adaption of sorts so i figured i'd make something original this time. I'm sure its not my best work but i'll give it a shot
ideas are sown
in the mind
forming words
in a womb
of thought
shaping
into reality,
you push
for release
PUSH!!!
at last
it's free
to roam
the world.
Well I hope you enjoy this whoever might be reading.
