I guess, like many of us here, I have quite a portfolio of accumulated works. I am not vain enough to imagine that everything I write is brilliant or even of any particular literary merit. However, I have written pieces that I am proud of, that I enjoyed writing and that please me still after some mental, emotional and chronological distance between composition and contemplation.
There are pieces, too, that annoy and disappoint, but which I 'let stand' as a reminder to myself that even after all this time I can (and do) still get it wrong.
I do have my favourites, items I have written that please me as stories/poems, for various reasons: plot, character/s, emotional impact, humour or whatever. In all honesty, of my entire body of work, they are few in number. That's not to say I dislike the other stuff, far from it. It's more like having favourite children from my brood of items: I prefer some to others!
I would have listed the works I like that I've submitted to SS, but I'm sure someone would have seen it as an attempt to promote myself (something I have unfairly been accused of elsewehere) or stroke my ego or somesuch thing, so I'll refrain.
I will be interested to read what you guys have to say about your work.

Hello everyone. This is a poem thread, can we please ensure that we keep it as such and once again, no personal attacks. As well, may I ask that everyone watch what words you use. We try to avoid the bad ones here and I would ask that this is respected.
Hear, hear!
Drama queens, opinionated brats, mouthy so-and-so's, stirrers: sounds like a fun place to be, doesn't it?
Here's to you all for bringing such fun
I greet you all, each and every one
You have something to say, say it here,
Bring a smile, bring good cheer,
This is the place where pleasantness resides
And where respect for others nobody hides
Come join in with us and bring your smile
Linger amongst us for a while
And enjoy the air of silliness and frivolity
That enervates our little society
Leave your grumbles and gripes far, far away
They have no place here anytime, anyway
You are welcome here if you've something to share
Go on, give it a go, submit something if you dare!
Quote by Rebellious_SoulQuote by the_enchantress
when I was young I was taught respect,
It was earned and not just taken.
When I was your age
I didn't act like I knew it all,
Being a mouthy brat.
Try reading a book
It might do you wonders.
I know in time
You'll say the wrong thing
To the wrong person one day,
And get put in your place probably not so gently.
Question whatvdid i do to you?
I thought we talked about this already.
I never once did anything to insult you
And yet you say that to me.
Wake up please.
Because I was nice to you.
And then you were mean to me
And now you are again.
I did nothing to you.
You did nothing to me.
So please stop this nonsense,
Before we have a mess again.
I wasnt lookibg for a fight.
I want to end this drama.
But you continue to bite.
And in the end for nothing.
What is your goal?
Mine is to have the kindness i known before.
Never once have I disrespected anyone.
I dont demand respect.
I said i had earned it.
I dont know what your issue is with me.
But I will say again.
Leave me alone.
Please just leave me alone. Just leave me alone.
I said my opinion, and was told it was invalid.
Then i was called a child for defending it.
Like anyone else would have.
What did i do? To deserve that huh? I. Never ever said anything mean to.any of you. I never disrespected you, even when we faught you called me and ant and delusional and i took it all and swallowed my pride and talked with reason and never once said anything mean back ubtil you started talking bad about my freinds. You people keep doing this. Making all this drama that I never wanted to deal with. I am twenty years old. Your fighting someone who.is younger then you. Trying to put me down.
Are you happy now that you did?
Are you happy that I hate coming here now?
I onky do to talk to my friends because i still have friends here.
Are you happy that you emotional ruin someone else.
Because they have been stressed for a long time.
But none of you never knew that because you assumed
And you never got to know me.
So I hope ypu all are happy.
With the dram you brought.
Once upin a time I was happy.
And now I'm not.
