A NEW NOTE TO ALL MY FRIEND WHO HAVE WRITTEN HERE IN THE PAST AND THOSE WHO INTEND TO POST IN MY PROJECTS FROM HERE ON OUT. SINCE WEBOOK MADE ALL THE CHANGES TO THIS SITE THIS YEAR, YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE FONT SIZE I ASKED FOR IN 2008, (16px) NO LONGER EXISTS HERE THAT I CAN SEE. BUT PLEASE USE AT LEAST  4 (14PT) SO YOUR CREATIVE WRITING WILL BE EASIER FOR ME AND OTHERS TO READ WHO HAVE FAILING EYESIGHT BUT STILL LOVE TO READ YOUR LENGTHY STORIES AND POETRY. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR COMMENTS FEEDBACK AND YOU BEAUTIFUL, ENLIGHTING AND THOUGHTFUL WORKS OF POETIC ART.
                                   ALWAY,
                                                 IVY REED
P.S. THE REST OF THE NOTE BELOW STILL APPLIES.
ANY STORY OR POEM TITLE WITH PROFINITY OR DISRESPECTFUL WORDING OF A PREJUDICAL NATURE WILL BE PROMTLY REMOVED. WE ARE ALL UNIQUE AND HAVE A RIGHT TO OUR HEARTFELT BELIEFS.

Dear akimalyah,
The poem you wrote below is sad but beautiful and a wonderful tribute to your sister. I do wish you had placed it in the body of the project so others can read it also. In fact I'm sorry to say I just found it here today 10/12/10,when I desides to come back and see what I had asked others to do if they desides to join the project and add their poetry. As you and others can see I had asked for 16px font size which no longer exists since webook made  all the changes. Now there is no longer a 16px to choose from so now I have to use 4(14pt) and my font sizes no longer match if I deside to go back and do editing. This is disappointing but chance is constant. That doesn't mean that I have to like it though. I actually hate all the changes made here. I can no longer print my poetry from webook either. I'm completely at a loss as to how to do many things I could do here when I joined webook in 2008.

GOD'S 3 ANGELS

Out of 3 Angels,
He called one home;
Leaving you memories so you won't feel alone. 
Saying, "But the body is gone." 
3 sister's forever;
God makes mistakes never;
Today you cry;
Tomorrow is new;
Missing your sister leaves you blue
Trusting in God's comfort
that's what you do
Remember the happy days
Think of her smile it really pays
If it was someone else think of
what she will say
Keep her love in your heart
thats the only way
This is important
God called home
Angie Coleman-Jordan

A SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL WHO INTEND TO POST STORIES AND POETRY HERE IN  (DEATH FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH )
IF PROFANITY IS FOUND IN A TITLE OR WITHIN THE BODY OF THE CREATIVE WRITING YOU HAVE POSTED HERE IT WILL BE REMOVED AT ONCE. NO EXCEPTIONS !!!
ALSO USE 16PX FONT FOR THE REASONS  STATED BELOW...             THANK YOU...    ~ IVY

To all my friends who have written and posted your creative writing in " Death For What it's Worth, "  and those who plan to also : Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please when you post here use 16px font if you don't mind. It is easier to read and edit. Checking for typos you soon go cross-eyed and readers may not finish reading your splended poetry. You all shine ! My I suggest, Read over your poetry often, check for typos, use correct puncutation and use Capital Letters at the beginning of your first sentences and always use a Capital ( I ) in the body of your poem, ( I love your poetry. I'm so proud. I'll try not to be so picky. etc.) When you find the right publisher for your poetry this is what will make or break your perfect deal. So do it right, For Your Own Good. Help your Friends with Feedback and they will Graciously do the same. Write On !!!!
                               " Peace, Love & Light "

I appreciate the invite, unfortunately I am spreading myself slightly too thin with the projects I am currently involved in!

I want to thank all those who have written such wonderful poetry here to celebrate the lives of loved one. Your unique personalities and poetry have made this a book project that is so amazingly beautiful. Few have the courage and ability to write or do anything at all but grive when death leaves such an empty hole in their lives. I have found such comfort in my writings here. It keeps my loved ones who have crossed over to the Other Side here with me in Spirit. As I remember them they draw close and I know I am truely blessed to have had all of then in my life. In reality they never left, because they never died.
To all who would like to join this project Welcome. You don't have to wait for an invitation. Just begin writing.
Ivy

This is a wonderful project, I hope to be able to contribute something meaningful that will fit in with the others very soon.  Thank you for thinking of this and opening it up to all participants.  It will be a healing project for me, as I am sure it can be for others who contribute as well.

  I Proposed September 12th. 1984

  I Was Layed off

   It was September 28, 1984.One week before my 18th birthday;  I Woke up and felt very bad about being Engauged, I Was so tempted to blow my head off; i crawled to my 12-gauge shot gun-> Loaded it with Buck shot, cocked it> put the barrel in my mouth and my toe in the trigger gaurd, But i could not do it.

 so i crrawled to my bed and got on my knees with tears in my eyes and prayed to God and Asked him to take my Life Because i did not love my girlfriend.

   So i spent a good hour praying to God about everything in my heart and everyone in and around my Life, then i climbed back in bed and fell asleep.

  There was a Knock at my Door , So i said ya! "that meant come in", In Walked a Freind and he said; Do you wanna go hunting, Because i only had a half day, Because it was Raining; So i said yeah! and he said well could ya give me a ride to the liiquer store and ill buy something to keep us warm, So i said yeah let me ask my mom if she needs anything from the store.

  So i asked my mom if she needed anything from the store; and she said yes, can u pick me up a pack of hamburger and ketch-up from the grocery store.

   She Handed me the money and i left the house with my freind, I Stopped at the Liquer Store and he got some brandy and schnapps, Our next stop was The Grocery Store less then a mile down the road; When we pulled into the Parking lot, We were feeling (pretty good), So we went walking in Laughin and Joking.

   I Remember Grabing a Can of Whipped cream off the shealf and inhale'ng The Gas from the can ((a whip-it)) and of course i was very light headed and flying high, We went to the check-out counter and my nieghbor asked me if i was allright and i rolled my eyes into the back of my head and said Yeah!!

     So we Left the store and kept swigging from the Bottles' of Liquer and drove to the old shopping center accross the street and i drovee the right/(passenger side) tiresup on the edge of the sidewalk and drove to the other end at about 20-25 mph; then headed toward a dirt wall held up with 6x6's/LOGS'.

    At the last second, I Slowed down and turned the wheel and left the old shopping center and was headed home, So my freind asked me to stop at a gas/service station so he could talk to his freind, so i pulled in real slow and a local teenage girl was walking accross the lot, So i coasted up to her back-side and tapd here ass with the front bumperAnd smiled at her; My freind was freaking out.

    He Said he couldent believe what i just done, Because That girl was his Boses little girl/Daughter, So we left, 'cause his freind was not there; We stopped at a red Light Along side of 2 Girls i knew, so we were gonna go back to my house and Talk/hangout awhile, So I Told them to follow me   Home and they Agree'd.

   When the Light turn'ed Green I Sped Away passing cars on the right/shoulder of the road still nursing a bottle of Liquer, My Freind dropped a couple of empty Bottles in a trash can that was left out infront of a house just before the elementry school zone.

   After the school zone still speeding, i tried to pass a big box truck on the shoulder of the Road; But! Did not make it "the stearing wheel Broke Against my chest and i ended up laying accross the back seat with my head  on the back of the back seat, thats when i blacked out.

   The pole i hit had 2 big transformers on it and they fell on the roof of the car and the ceiling crushed my chest cavity; Allso the pole was  deadcenter infront of  the Luthren church Just a mile from Home.

    I Was in a 5 <-> month coma

   Before i woke, i saw my Angel/soul sister Climb outta my Soul, Get outta my hospital bed and climb ontop of me and make love to my Bodie, then i blacked out/fell asleep.

 I Wrote A Poem about  My Exspierence and it was Publishedt in a Book of Poems Called Honey of the Soul And the second poem is due to be published in a Book of Poetry Called ImmortalVerses.

    I AM 42 Single/never married as of 10/2008
