Unstable: Twisted Tales & Tasty Entrails by Barbara Blanks Pdf
Barbara Blanks is equally adept at both horrific blood-thirsty stories and humorous blood-thirsty stories. She is, in fact, a little afraid to turn her back on herself because she doesn't know from what sinister brain vault some of these story ideas escaped. This mixture of mystery, crime, horror, and humor will leave you off-balance, which is-perhaps-better than being unbalanced. Or Unstable. But don't press the issue with the author. Really. Don't. Suggestions: Stay away from power tools. Avoid parks, cemeteries, zoos, farms, malls, stores, theaters, and ... your own home. And don't go toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Parental Guidance Advised only because some subject matter may be disturbing to youngsters.
This collection of prize-winning poems by Barbara Blanks focuses on people: Real - Could-be Real - Unreal - Happy - Unhappy - Funny - Up Close & Personal people. We are all just doing the best we can, and these poems reflect our struggles, our successes, our failures, and our fun.
Mankind breathed in poetry with the first dust of life blown into his nostrils. Life IS poetry. From humorous to serious to inspirational, to animals of all kinds, to nature, to music, to creativity--whatever gets us through the days and years. Poetry lifts us--at least, poetry that is comprehensible. And Barbara Blanks writes poetry you can actually understand!

Her feet might be ñwet from not quite leaping over puddlesî but Barb is still willing to ñpull the husk away from heaven, and bite into the flesh of the sun.î
