Original Writing, Poetry, Essays & Fiction

--'The Blue Lady'* by Carol Abbott©*	Meet the wise ghost who lives in Paige's house.
--'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.
--'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!
--'The Bear Affair'* by Carol Abbott©*	Love comes to the Bear Hug. (Sigh.....)
--'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.
--'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.
--'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.

--'Answered Prayers'* by Carol Abbott©*	Life took an unexpected turn in Houston, but revealed an even bigger surprise than I expected.
--'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!
--'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.
-- 'A Call for Social Reform' by Carol Abbott ©	*A plan that could guarantee the Right to Life*

--"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.**
--"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.
--"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~
--"Love enough"* by Carol Abbott, Summer 2003©*	*Remembering Love's Promise (This is dedicated to my husband, John.)*
--"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 are several for you to consider: Luci and it's companion piece, Jamie about Coming Home. And yet another called: Princess AnnaBella

--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.
