About the Creator

L.A. Hancock

I'm a wife and mom, and this is my creative outlet. I am experimenting with lots of different writing styles and topics, so some of it is garbage, and I'm totally fine with that - writing is cheaper than therapy. Thanks for stopping by!

There is nothing so painful at sixteen, As a summer spent much too far apart. The pool was cool and the river pristine, But I was left with a low, lonesome heart.

Writing isn’t magic
I thought words arrived as if breathing were easy. Books fooled my young eyes. Now I know better. Stories take patient years.

Gunned down in the street Killed in cold blood, poet and mother of three A nonexistent threat that you perceived With your untrained brain in your party of thieves
