Every week I am supposed to pick 5 pieces of creative writing to feature for MSP to curate- sometimes I do this later in the week than others. I am not so good at having a schedule for posting- in fact, I have about a gazillion things I should be doing for work right now. But it's a sad anniversary for me, so I'm taking a mental break from real life tonight. Catch the Falling Star![imfalling.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPtAfr8gKHPjU8aknH9NkHHgd1J8eZE5TZ5rGZuoeUBe6/imfalling.jpg) @shawnamawna writes a poem that rushes past you in a flash of poetic anger. It's tagged "Me too"- a poignant reminder. Time Away Blues ![Timeawayblues.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPouwZMPARJZ1PBotr91csdK7r4Nrw5b3EEXV4M6K7LEW/Timeawayblues.jpg) @doghaus was inspired by Bob Dylan in this poem about missing your loved ones when they are gone. Also, there's a Dylan Thomas allusion, so respect. We've Always Been Here @abarefootpoet writes a poem that is suitably wintery without being filled with cliche. I'm very drawn to his poetry and highly recommend it. When Everything Creaks ![wheneverythingcreaks.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTM64QSEsRFUmsSdzjHPq25yeVMJLFZ866HrGxwBbqEZM/wheneverythingcreaks.jpg) I would have shared this for the pun/personification combo in the first stanza, but the entire poem is excellent. I love the subtle exploration of wanderlust, of the feeling right before making a change. Dear Sophisticated Bookworm ![U5duGG2fNctgoggzD1sV1fpyAGD7AxP_1680x8400.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNfvxjZPbh6HBxWhAo5PaydTJ1DjPSFvfGnJYXDFwQxqy/U5duGG2fNctgoggzD1sV1fpyAGD7AxP_1680x8400.jpg) This poem both makes me want to curl up with a good book, and go make some new friends. It's my personal favorite from the poetry dice challenge by @robyneggs, which I also entered. ****** ![rockymountainsteem.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcuefFDePnau9A4nSTvTa6VJCNNgzgXVrSuTKmCF9GAdG/rockymountainsteem.png) ****** ![writersblock.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmR9QdSnJv9J78uutRCJa5XA9BzvBsso2ZJeSATrPhbKCY/writersblock.gif) ******* ![mspgif.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcKfFpAMmWEMzSdK7RqVmNotEw3jM2ZXseXBNyj3GePYN/mspgif.gif) ********
