Mang's Writing

The works linked to this page are mine, if you, for whatever reason, wish to use them, please include my real name(Angela Rex) with it!

I started to flex my creative muscles on the Highlander forum, mainly in creative 'battles' with Crom,although I had been writing for years, but it was in the stories we created that my fictional style was formed. Because of my love of writing, I minored in English at Utah State University, where one of my fiction pieces tied for first in the English Departments Annualy Creative Writing Contest(1998). That isn't to say my writing is brilliant, but passable perhaps. Any way, just take a look and decide for yourself.

Poetic Ramblings The Story-teller

To Write

My coat tossed lightly in the corner,
shoes lay at the door,
before the eyes I stand.

The first button slides easily,
a methodic routine by nimble fingers.
The second and third release deliberate and slow.

Breath turns measured,
collar slides from neck to floor,
hair descends to brush velvet flesh exposed.

Hesitant glide, hands draw to hips
pushing comforts garment to tumble-
a simple step and it is away.

Chilled skin bristles,
fingers with mute horror unlatch,
straps slip limply over arms to drop.

Shoulders back, head erect,
a labored swallow.
Five eleven, I stand in wrenching imperfection.

Multitude of jeweled eyes-

some gape in shocked silence,

several stare, memorizing - tracing each subtle line.

Various glances descend with ridicule and turn away.

Trembling stance,
ink drying upon skin,
I lay the pen to rest and beg my mind for silence.
