She may have regrets, but I don't, unless you count ever loving her.If I could, I would just take off,Far away and stay away for my sake; allYou had to do was love me a little more.You couldn’t do it when I gave youEvery chance to change and even me to save youFrom yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.I don’t know what you ever loved me for.I had to step out of my comfort zone in order to give this a shot. After a few of the poems I began to realize that I was having fun while I was writing these poems. I live in the mid-west and I am unemployed and raising a teenage daughter. I hope that if you do get this book that you enjoy it. If this does well, I will be doing this again. If not , then I gave it my best shot. I hope you enjoy this book of poems that are to inspire, motivate, and make you think all at the same time.It does however have about 3-4 cuss words in it. They are not bad ones , but none the less they are cuss words.

Her Shelter

Terri Anne Browning

The beautiful, ethereal creature ran across the road on my way home one night. I nearly hit her and ended up wiping out in the process. A little dazed, I ran after her... And found her in the woods.

But now that I've found her, I won't let anything hurt her ever again. She makes me feel something I've never felt before. This tightness in my chest causes the beast within me to snarl unless she's beside me. She becomes my obsession, my reason to get out of bed in the morning. She makes me want to be...better. For her.

The Man With Two Left Feet and Other Stories

The Man With Two Left Feet and Other Stories

P. G. Wodehouse

Fiction / Humor / Music

It would be unreasonable to expect every one of Wodehouse's more than 90 books to sparkle; the only glitter emanating from this one is Frederick Davidson's inspired narration. First published in England in 1917 (the 1933 U.S. edition is different), Two Left Feet contains 13 pieces of Wodehouse's apprentice work, with only hints of the writing power he would later develop. Most of its stories are sentimental tales straining for O. Henry-esque endings. The patience even of Wodehouse aficionados will be tested by some?particularly two narrated by a dog. Still, the book is not without its bright spots, and "Extricating Young Gussie" is notable for introducing (though fleetingly) Jeeves. ContentsBill the BloodhoundExtricating Young Gussie [Jeeves and Bertie]Wilton’s HolidayThe Mixer I.

Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves

Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves

P. G. Wodehouse

Fiction / Humor / Music

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse wrote more than a hundred books and at least twenty film scripts, and he collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies with the likes of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. Best known as the creator of Jeeves -- the impossibly wise, supremely well-mannered gentleman's gentleman -- and Wooster -- his unflaggingly affable but bumbling employer -- Wodehouse invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in a gentle satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest." In "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves," fate conspires to draw Bertie Wooster back to Totleigh Towers, the site of an earlier ordeal that nearly landed our hero in prison and, worse still, in continuing danger of marriage to Madeline Bassett, the svelte and sadly syrupy daughter of the house. Only one thing stands between Bertie and the dreaded state of matrimony, and that is his good friend Gussie Fink-Nottle, lover of newts and Madeline Bassett. So long as Gussie and Madeline continue to profess their undying love for each other, Bertie is safe...but disaster looms when Gussie rebels at Madeline's attempt to turn him into a vegetarian. Throw in the intrigues of Miss Stiffy Byng and her dog Bartholomew to gain the Reverend Stinker Pinker a vicarage, the renewed rivalry of art collectors Sir Watkyn Bassett and Bertie's Uncle Tom, and the irresistible cooking skills of American Emerald Stoker (who happens to be the younger sister of Bertie's old friend Pauline, whom he also narrowly avoided marrying), and you have trouble of the sort that only Jeeves can mend. In other words, here is a classic version of one of the greatplots of the English language from the Master himself.
