Like A Box of Chocolates
Literature & Fiction
Take every notion, feeling, experience and expectation that you have on poetry and throw it up in the air, just take everything you've ever known about it and toss it aside. Not because of what makes it so are being broken and not because simple fundamentals and poetic structures are being altered, no that's not it at all. Simply take a deep breath, relax and remember that nothing is off limits, nothing is too right or too wrong or completely outside the box(pun totally intended). So untie that metaphorical bow, put your hand on the corner and open the book and take in that fresh page aroma and all the splendid "flavors" that is poetry.

Chapter 4 Excerpt
Before either of the men could say another word, Jones leaps onto the wood counter with both guns drawn and fires a few more shots into their stomachs. Unable to react, both men are finished off and collapse to the floor from their knees. He puts one of his guns back into its holster and picks up the bag of money with his now empty hand. “You damn fools. I told you I was leaving with my money and a couple killings,” Jones says as he laughs. “Well that’s what I call a fine bonus.”

Ah, well, you see I know about all of this and I must say I was rather relieved to know you were going the other way and not going to California.”

During the beginning of the 1800s, he was consumed heavily in his drinking and one day he challenged a fellow worker, one who hadn’t been drinking and never planned on accepting his duel. Rather than accept, he merely stepped foot into the saloon loaded his pistol and shot the founder of the town in the back of the head.

Chapter 1- Origins
The look of the room was distinguished and impressive with a clean rustic style. The smell within the building was that of a mix between a freshly started fire and the fine smell of polished wood that was just right within the crisp air. While ceilings are usually built high in factories the ones inside here where at a reachable level and for a good reason. For every five sheets of wood a beam sat nestled between them and it was structured in such a way that it was easy for a person to display something hanging from it. A sixteen light candle style lithium chandelier hangs from the ceiling as it slowly burns a crimson red flame and dripping wax disappears into the clear glass base. A set of old but hard-working hands reaches over to check on the candles to see if they are burning adequately. The man forms a cheerful smile upon his inspection of the chandelier. He then carefully makes his way down from the ladder and wipes his hands back in forth satisfied with his observation.

“The main thing in life is survival. And survival is not just staying alive. It is also a constant effort to grow and to learn and to work.” - Vincent Price “I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.” -Aleister Crowley “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” -Edith Wharton
