The following poem was composed in spring 2011. It was originally ilitumwa winter 2012 in the dragoni club here on Fanpop.

NIGHTFIRE

Winge beating,
Lungs heaving,
Black shadow
Torn from the sky.

Eyes glancing,
Alert and fierce.
moto dancing.

Wheeling,
Circling,
Nightmare
Incarnate.

moto dark as night,
Scales bright as gems.
Gleaming eyes,
Searching for a feast.

Wings furled.
Claws extended.
Dives down.
Death claims
Another victim.
Glides up.
Feasting begins.

The dragon flies off.
It is gone,
And the
Nightmare
Is done.

VERONICA
Carter’s Perspective

As I’m walking with the pack, I instantly realize there is a clear leader. Veronica. She was zaidi than your average coyote. She actually had reddish-brown fur, manyoya instead of the generic gray-brown. She still had the piercing yellow eyes that coyotes are known for, but hers made wewe feel like she was staring straight into your soul… She made it clear she was the leader, too. She in fact came straight up to me and told me, “Hey! Newbie. I’m the leader of this pack, okay? Ain’t ever gonna become some fancy-shmancy leader.”
It was pretty clear if wewe ask me....

III The Library
The inayofuata room Ember visited was to her a Heaven on Earth. An enormous room just for holding books! The ceiling was so high it would have taken ten of her standing on juu of one another the reach it. The shelves and shelves of vitabu were piled right up to the juu and there were several ladders placed conveniently so that she could reach the topmost books.
Ember walked round the room as though she were in a dream. She loved kusoma and devoured every book she found but she had never had a whole maktaba full of them to herself. She barely knew where to start. Every square inch of...

Why do I never know what to call my stories?

Gerald wrinkled his nose at the earthy, mossy smell that always filled the woods. He longed to get back to his palace, but there was work to be done, and a king must do his work, after all.
“Hurry up!” he shouted at the coal black farasi dragging the carriage. They bolted and took off.
Gerald leaned back against the soft, silky back of the kiti, kiti cha and watched the trees blur by.
How grateful he was that he didn’t live out here, with all the faerie and elves and goblins. No, goblins lived in the marshes, didn’t they? But the faerie-folk, elves…still out here. He could feel them watching...

"Why won't wewe upendo me!" She asked as she started to cry.

"Is that why i am here?" Lawrence asked her, now very confused.

In the deep dark woods lies a house. A cottage house that only has one inhabitant. The one inhabitant onle has one visitor every month.

It was wintertime when that one visitor made his last visit.

Sherman E. Collins was his name and snooping was his name. The bald, chubby man knocked on the rotted wood. He waited for a good 2 dakika but nothing happened. When he was just about to knock again, the door creaked open. He shrugged it off. It was a common thing in these abandon houses.

Clutching his clipboard, he made his wasy into the house. The shattered windows, yellowing photos, and missing floor...

Thanks for the memories
Chapter one
June 6, 1994, my birth. My mother never meant to have me. Never did. My father's condom apparently broke so they were stuck with me. A babygirl. I had short brown hair with amber eyes. But when I was born, I had blue with a light brown lining around my pupil. The doctors never could figure that part out. My eyes changed quicker than most babies. My eyes changed a week earlier than they were supposed to. That's why I get picked on, I tell that story and no one believes me. They call me "Weirdo", "fake", etc.
Though my mother left and my father is a total drunk,...

James Knight slumped in his chair. It seemed like the most appropriate thing to do in this situation. How else was he suppose to act? He was a train wreck waiting to happen. He didn't bother combing his dirty blonde hair au wear decent clothes. He still had on his Lakers sweatshirt and faded blue jeans with holes ripped in the front. This was the kind of outfit he wouldn't dare where around the house if this was a regular day. For shoes, he had his scuffed, black Reeboks. His eyes were red and puffy but he still radiated that devilish charm...

if wewe werent exactly like him

but i must go
and protect my soul
how nice of wewe to stop by
but please go nyumbani now

I use to know you
but now im long gone
and it feels great'
to leave that burden behind
i wont see wewe again
i wont be there when wewe fall
just know that i
wont pick wewe up again

Not exceptionally early. In eighth grade. I was thirteen; he was barely fourteen. And a matching mark appeared on our skin, meaning that he was my bond. He is my bond.

Our mark is made up of three dark black stars, charcoal black, pure black. The first one, the biggest star, is on both of our left breastbones, the sekunde largest just under it and slightly to the left, and the smallest just a little lower down, directly...

Something wet touches my face. I open my eyes a little. Wow. That was a big wolf. Huh. A wolf. I scream, jump up, and tripped backwards. I fall on my back. It knocks the wind out of me. Then I remember the wolf. I sit up. Whoa. That thing was huge. It just stared at me. I stared back. I didn't even breath. I looked into the eyes of the huge wolf, and I realized they were Nick's eyes. He turned back into a human. My mouth fell open. Not just because he had no clothes on, but because he just turned from that animal into a HUMAN!! I couldn't even say anything. He took a step twords...

How to Get Out of Your Own Way When uandishi - Excerpt

posted by alicia386

This an except from the makala How to Get Out of Your Own Way When Writing. This is advice from an accomplished mwandishi named Elizabeth Knox

"I prefer reading, and writing, in the third person – “he walked along the shore,” rather than the first person, “I walked along the shore.” Many novice writers start uandishi in the first person. There are some very good reasons for that. For a start, we’re all used to telling stories with ourselves at their centers. Also, using a first-person voice can be a kind of playacting. They narrator is a “not-you” you’re pretending to be.
