GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
Inspired by the Holy Bible verse: Isaiah 42:11 King James Version 11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Finding Good Poems For Friends
Finding good poems for friends is what you need to get up to if you want to make a good name for yourself in the friend circle. With a good name, you will be in a position to earn the respect that you deserve making you a good friend. Friends write each other poems for different reasons and the main ones include the following. Friends may be participating in a celebration of achievement; they may also be comforting mates who are in problems. Poems are also used to remind people that someone cares for them. In other words, poems for friends are really for special reasons. Writing poems can be really fun for many but, it can prove to be something that will need deep thought. You need to be creative while looking for good poems. You even need to be more creative if you plan to write a poem.

The Boy Who Lucid Dreamed a Short Story
There's a story of a boy, we'll just call him, "The Boy"; and one day he was really sad. He felt like he wasn't enough for anything, or anyone. He tried not to let it show, but it spilled out on occasion. During the day, he'd meddle in his mind of all the ways he wasn't enough. But at night, he dreamt. He dreamt ALOT. Eventually he discovered an ability to lucid dream. He didn't care about the day anymore. He slept as much as he could. Having everything he'd ever wanted... in his dreams. Life, awake, didn't seem worth it; but life in his dreams was worth it all. So many dreamscapes and moments... but one day, for one reason or another... he was reminded of the world. Reminded of those who've helped him along the way and deserved to see him live his life in the real world. See who he'd become. So with that, he woke up. This is the story of that boy; The Boy Who Lucid Dreamed. THE 1st in a poetic trilogy dedicated to love, life, and dreams.
