stories for bed
Stories for bed (lay down your head) By: the ADHD Accountant – Krid What is your bed time ritual? As you can imagine, having ADHD does not always lend itself to going to sleep. Having a well of energy is great. Having erratic sleep routine is not. And, Man cannot survive on four hours of sleep. At least I can’t. Anymore.

Book Review #1
“I and my Annabel Lee” THE INSPIRATION If you know me, then you know that I’m a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe. Of course, he's not the only writer I love, but he's definitely on my top 10 list. And out of all of his works, the poem Annabel Lee is my #1 favorite.

Book Review: "The Fall of the House of Byron" by Emily Brand
Lord Byron is one of my favourite authors ever and is actually my favourite poet. I have spent years pouring over Byron's poetry ever since I was thirteen and discovered the "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage". When I was twenty years' old, I got to see a handwritten letter by Lord Byron and famously burst into tears in front of my friends. One of the most beautiful things I have witnessed to date and honestly, I would not trade it for the world. Lord Byron was a miraculous human being, capable of great achievements. He died whilst in Greece, fighting for the country's independence and living out the heroism he had always written about once again. But George Gordon, the 6th Baron Byron, better known as the poet Lord Byron - was the 6th in his lineage, so there were some that came before him. As we look into this well-researched book by Emily Brand, we get to see the extent of the family that is, in my opinion after reading the book, 'mad, bad and dangerous to know...'

Publish Your Poetry Collection on Amazon
Do you write poetry? Can you make money from writing poems? The answer is yes. I hadn't thought about it until I wrote a collection of poems. I started to write poetry more than I thought it could be possible. Writing a poem every day knowing I could publish a book motivated me. It can motivate you too.

I Feel Like Crying, But for Good Reasons
Crying, crying, crying over you. Just another poem of the times. I feel like crying, I said, I feel like crying… And you ask me whying? Well, I can’t be lying. It’s my people, it is for my people that I’m a-crying. I would have looked, and that’s when I was to see. I saw them there, across from me. Wearing a frown, where there should have been a tear. And yet more tearing down of the gear, of the gown, the garments even.
