Original Writing, Poetry, Essays & Fiction

I love to write, so nearly every feature in this area will be original work, written by me. I hope to add to it from time to time so Please check back often......

Original Fiction:
PAGE 1	--'The Blue Lady'* by Carol Abbott©* Meet the wise ghost who lives in Paige's house.
PAGE 2	--'A Walk on Halloween'* by Carol Abbott©* I love all aspects of Halloween. It's great fun to write about. Hope you will check it out.
PAGE 3	--'Forever Friends' by Carol Abbott© A second Halloween effort. I seem to love Halloween night walks! Here's another version, different characters, different focus, but includes a stroll, just the same!
PAGE 4	--'The Bear Affair'* by Carol Abbott©* Love comes to the Bear Hug. (Sigh.....)
PAGE 5	--'The Christmas Wish'* by Carol Abbott©* Written just about the time that the hectic Christmas rush was beginning to overwhelm me, it gave me a little 'wake-up call' and kind of centered my thinking.
PAGE 6	--'The Snowman Family Reunion' by Carol Abbott© This is written in a different form and is a work in progress. As I find additional charming snowman graphics, I expect the family to grow.
PAGE 7	--'A Christmas Tree for Jessica'* by Carol Abbott©* When 'what we do' becomes muddled, it's time to get back to the basics -- what is really important.

Essay Titles:
PAGE 8	--'Answered Prayers'* by Carol Abbott©* Life took an unexpected turn in Houston, but revealed an even bigger surprise than I expected.
PAGE 9	--'A Rose in December'* by Carol Abbott©* Sometimes an event just begs to be written about. Finding a rose in Missouri in December is a relatively rare occurrence. I wish all our Winters were so mild!
PAGE 10	--'Snow'* by Carol Abbott©* This is a very short little piece. I had some really terrific graphics of snowmen and snow related items (check out the animated penguins) and basically wrote a little text to give me a place to put them! It is quite graphic intensive, but really a "fun" page.
PAGE 11	-- 'A Call for Social Reform' by Carol Abbott © *A plan that could guarantee the Right to Life*


Poetry:
PAGE 12	--'A Beautiful Dream'* by Carol Abbott©* This is one of the longest poems I've ever attempted.
PAGE 13	-'Giddy Moon Poetry' by Carol Abbott, July 2001©
PAGE 14	--"Poetry that Rhymes"* by Carol Abbott©*
PAGE 15	--"Sweet Love of Evening" and Other Poems by Carol Abbott©
PAGE 16	--"No One is There Anymore" by Carol Abbott©
PAGE 17	--"The Pink Fairy Teddy"* by Carol Abbott©* This was inspired by a cute little graphic that my daughter Kim found and sent to me--knowing how much I like Teddy bears.
PAGE 18	--"White Rose"* by Carol Abbott©* *I must* love roses because I find they are used as a central theme in several of my writings within these pages. Here is the latest offering.**
PAGE 19	--"Christmas in the Country"* by Carol Abbott©* Snow at Christmas time. The perfect setting for a beautiful holiday. Seen through a window in a house filled with Faith and Love.
PAGE 20	--"The Endless Siren Song"* by Carol Abbott, Summer 2003©* Not sure where this one came from. It's just been a very frustrating 'consumer' week at our house, I guess. ~smile~
PAGE 21	--"Love enough"* by Carol Abbott, Summer 2003©* *Remembering Love's Promise (This is dedicated to my husband, John.)*
PAGE 22	--"Two Hearts from Days of Old"* by Carol Abbott, Summer 2003©* I recently realized that my Romance Quotient may be a bit atrophied so I went looking for inspiration. Here's a several for you to consider: Luci and it's companion piece, Jamie about Coming Home. And yet another called: Princess AnnaBella .
PAGE 23	--"More Romantic Poetry"* by Carol Abbott, Summer 2003©* Here are two which were originally written for the Hopefully-Romantic-Poetry group: Sharing a Walk...and a Life and The Gold Locket
PAGE 24	--"How a Maiden May Spendeth Her Day"* by Carol Abbott, September, 2003©* A charming Medieval black and white drawing was the inspiration for this poem.
PAGE 25	--"Loves Own Path"* by Carol Abbott, October, 2003©* A black and white drawing also inspired this poem, which is more like a story.
PAGE 26	--Don't go into the Cemetery Alone (especially on All Hallows Eve when the moon is full) .......by Carol Abbott, October, 2003 © I made a new Halloween graphic (from bits and pieces that I have collected on Halloween sites for a couple of years). The picture was suppose to be a desktop decoration for my computer during the season. The more I looked at that picture, the more I knew there was a story in there waiting to get out. Thus, this poem was born.
