<div dir="auto">
on my way to the bus stop this morning</div>
<div dir="auto">
the sun was just beginning to rise.</div>
<div dir="auto">
it dawned above the brick red row houses</div>
<div dir="auto">
as well as the sturdy, leafless trees</div>
<div dir="auto">
that line the avenues of my city.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
as i emerged from the serene sidestreets</div>
<div dir="auto">
the streetcar whooshed down the main road</div>
<div dir="auto">
and commuters hurried and crammed</div>
<div dir="auto">
into those small steel crowded cars.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
i crossed the road, strolling down another avenue.</div>
<div dir="auto">
now the sun was alive and glowing</div>
<div dir="auto">
shining in rays of peach pink and bright amber</div>
<div dir="auto">
shimmering over the blue in my eyes</div>
<div dir="auto">
leaving traces in my copper red hair.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
the walls of my fantasy world</div>
<div dir="auto">
began to scale straight into the sky.</div>
<div dir="auto">
suddenly the webs of my wallowing turned loose</div>
<div dir="auto">
unspooling and breaking the locks of my truth.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
i was no longer fearing for the future</div>
<div dir="auto">
nor beating myself up over the past</div>
<div dir="auto">
instead fixated on the dogs barking by</div>
<div dir="auto">
or counting the kids with toques on their heads.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
i reached the end of my journey</div>
<div dir="auto">
where row houses grew into grey coloured mansions</div>
<div dir="auto">
yet the light still simmered in the same way</div>
<div dir="auto">
when i first set foot into the sleepy morning.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
the sun had fully risen against the sky</div>
<div dir="auto">
and all that’s left to do</div>
<div dir="auto">
is to wait in the seas of wonder</div>
<div dir="auto">
nestling into the peace</div>
<div dir="auto">
of my once chaotic mind.</div>
</div>
<div dir="auto">

Stefanie London is the USA TODAY bestselling author of contemporary romances and romantic comedies. Stefanie’s books have been called “genuinely entertaining and memorable” by Booklist, and her writing praised as “Elegant, descriptive and delectable” by RT magazine. Her stories have earned prestigious awards such as the RT Top Pick and have achieved bestseller status with USA TODAY and iBooks.</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Growing up, Stefanie came from a family of women who loved to read. After sneaking several literature subjects into her ‘very practical’ business degree, she got a job in communications. But writing emails for executives didn’t fulfill her creative urges, so she turned to fiction and was finally able to write the stories that kept her mind busy at night.</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Originally from Australia, she now lives in Toronto with her very own hero and is currently in the process of doing her best to travel the world. She frequently indulges in her passions for good coffee, lipstick, romance novels and anything zombie-related.</div>

<br />
Hope you are having a wonderful summer!<br />
<br />
The Toronto Public Library (Brentwood branch) is hosting Phoebe Tsang on Tuesday, August 21st in the Teen Lounge for the presentation of "Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory for Hybrid Writing".<br />
<br />
From 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. you will have the amazing opportunity to experiment with writing compositions!<br />
<br />
Make sure to bring in a newspaper article or a novel you began years ago but never finished. Leave this workshop with brand new, publish-ready pieces that will be nothing like you have ever written before.<br />
<br />
Here is a <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT343650&R=EVT343650" target="_blank">link</a> to more information if interested!<br />

That’s all I could think. My life changed from peace to tragedy in the blink of an eye. As I ran I heard the peacefulness of the farm go by. I faintly heard the cows mooing and the tree leaves brushing against each other as I quickly went past. I rushed towards the grassy green pastures and blue sky’s. Father was on my trail. He was still a bit far behind. He was an old man, in his late 50’s. He wore his overalls, covered in tractor oil and manure, his jet black books, soles covered in dirt and of course, his favourite, old, worn down Chevrolet baseball cap. “Get back here boy or I’ll whip your ass until it bleeds!” He yelled with his leather belt in hand. He may be old, but boy could he run like the wind. He wasn’t as fast as he used to be, but he still had that extra power in him. I disappeared into the wheat fields. Every grain of wheat hurting more and more the faster I run. Luckily the fields were tall and thick so you couldn’t see anything from the sides. As soon as I felt far away and safe, I stopped. “God damn it!” Father shouted. Making the fields ripple like when a drop hits water. I fell to my knees, heavy and weak. Almost as weak as my arms feel after we stack the bales of hay in September. My short brown hair covering my eyes as I look up to the bright blue sky. The warm July sun, covering my skin like a cozy wolf blanket. For once, it felt a bit calmer on the farm. As I bask in the glow of the warm sun and watch the wheat sway as the gasps of wind go by, the peacefulness suddenly vanished. I stopped and stared blankly into the mounds of wheat before me. No expression. Not the sense that Father was near, but something else. Something more dreadful. I slowly picked my body weight back up and stopped in shock. I couldn’t move. I suddenly remember that it was Thursday July 15, 1973. Thursday. Then the terrifying sound of wheat being cut started just north of me. My knees turned to jelly all of a sudden, and I fell to the dirt ground with a thud. Head in hands, I slowly look up at the sky for the last time. A single tear ran down my freckled cheek. The tearing sound getting louder and louder, worse and worse and snap. It’s all over. But how did I get here?</span></span>E.S.sayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15209272936277426076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111333663722170552.post-66865846318267264162018-05-29T14:54:00.001-07:002018-05-29T14:55:17.420-07:00My Head<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<b>Temptation </b></h3>
by Olivia Nitti<br />
<br />
Between the sheets, we are safe.<br />
As our love perpetuates,<br />
Out in the cold and disdain.<br />
There is our inevitable pain.<br />
While the world around us grows thicker,<br />
Our time together goes away quicker.<br />
<br />
Be warned to cherish, and be sure not to miss.<br />
The disarming embrace, of each time we kiss.<br />
I wonder if you know, that our special place,<br />
Is separate from darkness, it’s where I see grace.<br />
<br />
Now what will I do?<br />
When I have someone like you,<br />
Who is holding me together, yet ripping me apart.<br />
Who is the one, only being, in tune with my heart.<br />
Overwhelmed by your presence, longing for your essence.<br />
In fear you won’t be around, to hold me to the ground.<br />
When everything starts slipping, as it usually does;<br />
The one thing that is assertive, is painfully,<br />
Our love.<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We stand at the edge of the earth.<br />
We could fall any second.<br />
Standing on crumbling ground,<br />
What is happening to us.<br />
I am at a loss of what to do,<br />
I knew I loved you.<br />
Well, I think I do.<br />
Which way will we go?<br />
Into the abyss, never to be saved,<br />
Or piece back together the stones beneath stolen waves.<br />
<br /></div>

<b>Where Are You?</b></h3>
by Olivia Nitti<br />
<br />
We were lying silent and still.<br />
Our faces were so close that when I fluttered,<br />
My eyelashes touched your nose.<br />
I felt safe, for the first time in a long while.<br />
I could breathe without trying.<br />
You were my breath of fresh air.<br />
Yet still, there is this pitiful feeling that you don’t really care.<br />
I wonder if it’s just me.<br />
But as I read your signs,<br />
All I see is in front of me.<br />
Your heart and mind are elsewhere.E.S.sayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15209272936277426076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111333663722170552.post-9041316224217760622018-05-29T14:42:00.001-07:002018-05-29T14:42:29.509-07:00Redemption<h3>
<b>Redemption </b></h3>
by Olivia Nitti<br />
<br />
<br />
But I am just a human.<br />
A victim like some, an abuser like others.<br />
My actions have isolated me.<br />
Made me weak and terrified.<br />
So I sit and wonder.<br />
Who will recognize that I am more than my actions?<br />
That we are more than our actions.<br />
