    • This is great! You should write more often.

    • Thank you! I’m working on it amigo.
      I got a promotion at work and I don’t have the time as much.

      Thanks for your snaps!!

    • Dear A,

      I love the momentum in this piece. For me it really looks the gratitude and potential of relationships and events that occur during a year in the life. How fast they come and go. Congrats on your promotion! Life to see your writes.
      H x 🌷

      • Hi Honoria!
        There is so much gratitude! This past year I lost my little chihuahua Daisy in November. Right before Thanksgiving. I was a mess. I had her for around 18 years. She was so old and her eyesight was going. Had to give her a little nod in my opening:)
        Mark found a chihuahua Christmas ornament and put it on our tree.

        I’m also looking forward to 2026. All the possibilities!

        I’m so happy to see you here and commenting:)
        Best Christmas gift ever!

    • Hey my little busy Bee! ’25 was such an awesome year for you! Besides Daisy, of course. But your life has so much going on in it. Even getting your book out there in the world! Thank you for sharing it with me. All of my highlights of ’25 involve you!
      This write of yours is so positive and empowering. I love the feeling of determination that is being carried within it. And I’m glad that you got some creative results out of the Taylor movie. I will be more kind when talking about her from now on. LOL
      I’m all about my Adelphina! Woo hoo!

      • Hey there lover!
        This write is all about timing. To be prepared for whatever comes your way. To handle it gracefully or at least the best you can. To not cower which is hard for me. I’m brave with a pen but sometimes not always in real life! lol
        You have been my highlight for the past 3 years!
        And yes, the documentary from Taylor swifts last tour is very inspiring. I didn’t realize how massive her show was.
        I just remember how expensive the tickets were.
        I’ll only spend that much on a purse, maybe!

        Thanks for your awesomeness in 2025!
        MWA!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. An excellent write my friend. Merry Christmas to you and Mark, hope all is well with you both. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hi Damien!
        Thank you for your snaps amigo!
        2025 is right around the corner. I’ve had so many changes and transitions this year.
        All positive but I’m slow to embrace change. I’ll get there just don’t rush me. Hahaha

        Hope you had a Merry Christmas:)

    • Love this, great to see you writing Lady

      • Thanks Meme!

        I’m working on it. Just need to get in that writing zone. I know you understand. The need to feel that inspiration in order to pick up that pen! Sometimes it evades me.

        Now I gotta catch the last season of Stranger Things!
        Fixing to get on Netflix! Woop Woop! Hahaha

        Thanks for not being a stranger buddy!

    • The beginning of each new year is another reset of our aspirations. We have a chance to start anew with hopes for a better year, a more productive year as long as we persist in our endeavors. I hope yours is all that and more Adelly. Best wishes to you. 🙂

      • Hi Tim!
        Happy New Year amigo! Thank goodness for resets. I don’t know anyone who didn’t need one.
        Whether it is about losing weight or finding love or being prosperous.
        In some way we bargain with our future every new year.
        We make decisions with hope in mind. It’s very cosmic in some way.
        Hoping all our stars will align like paths.

        Best wishes to you too buddy!

    • This reads like a prayer and a dare at the same time. I love how 2026 is treated as a living witness—something you’re negotiating with, not wishing on. The imagery of ink, doors, courage, and the red carpet earned through work (not luck) feels honest and earned. There’s vulnerability here, but also resolve. It doesn’t beg the future—it challenges it.

      • I love this comment!
        Yes, I didn’t want this to come across like I was begging for a great year.
        We come across challenges every year. It’s inevitable. I want to go into the new year courageously, come what may.
        This year I think 2026 or every new year for that matter as a quest. A year long quest. It will either break me or make me stronger. I’m an optimist. So either way each year makes me grow:)

        Happy New Year!

    • You brought in the New Year with pizazz my friend. This was a great fiesta of a poem. One that made my heart dance like raindrops on a banana plant leaf. I could feel the exuberant hopes encapsulated in your poem.

      John

    • Hi John,

      I love the idea of a blank new year. Nothing has happened yet, but oh the possibilities it can bring:)
      Happy belated New Year my friend.

    Moths of Pompeii

    Voices of volcanic dustSecrets of yesterdayMelted passengersIn the air of PompeiiSweeping antenna beadsScooping up ashes  Like holy hands   Fleeing sooty pallbearers Nocturnal wanderlust   Swarming with care   Across Mount Vesuvius   In molten lava-lightFloating Roman embersSeared patterns...

    • Such lava!
      The artwork is incredible! The write of course is so your style of unique phrasing. Clever wording to go with the picture, well, vice versa. Your talent is showing!

    • Wow… I really like this Adelphina.
      It’s like you picked me up at the start and wasn’t going to put me down untill I finished it. And I’m glad you did. Amazing.

      • I’m glad you enjoyed! The whole reason artists make art is to move people.
        Whether through words, art, or music. I’m glad to have payed it forward since you do the same for us here
        on the site:). Thank you for stopping by!

    • Very good… the art … the words … everything you do is very good as usual

      • Hi Sam!
        Thank you for that. Means a lot, seriously:)
        I started taking digital art classes last year and this one was extra special to me so I thought I’d share.
        Venturing into uncharted territory has its benefits!

        Thanks again!

    • beautiful word choices and artwork lovely Adelphina ❤️

      • Hello lovely:)

        I’m so happy you enjoyed. Made my evening seeing you on my page chica!
        It’s been an amazing experience learning new ways to express myself.
        Thank you for stopping by!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend and the artwork compliments it nicely. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Damien, amigo! Thank you!
        This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
        The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
        Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.

        But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
        Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)

    • The poetry & artwork gel so wonderfully here. Marvelously written Adelphina.

      • Hey there! Poetry and artwork is my new jam!
        Now it’s all I think about. lol
        What would be something cool to make to accompany my poem!
        I brainstorm to get ideas then get started.
        Takes longer but I don’t mind.

        Thanks for stopping by
        I’m super happy you enjoyed!

    • I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

      • Hey Tim!

        Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
        With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
        And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
        Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
        I’m glad you enjoyed!

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Powerful imagery. Superb work.

    • Hi Thomas.
      Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed:)

    • There’s absolutely nothing about this whole page that isn’t magical and I love it so ..

      p.s. I’ve been to Pompeii several times and understand entirely where you & those moths are coming from .. 😎🦋🦋👍

      • Hi Nev,
        Thank you for that. Means a lot amigo. I can’t even imagine how it must have felt like, being there in person.
        The fact that their remains are still in tact and have not broken down is astounding to me.

        Thank you for stopping by!

    • You a more than welcome .. my pleasure entirely .. 😎

    • This is pure art in motion. I could just lose myself in the beauty of your poem. I was mesmerized by the impressionist wonder within your poem. A real gem to read tonight.

      John

      • Hi John,

        Thank you for that. Love the words impressionist wonder. With this piece I wanted to give some light even when everything feels so helpless. I’m happy you enjoyed the read.

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Love this! Also, great music taste!

      • Hi Drieks!
        I LOVE your taste in music so to know we are in tune with our tunes made my day!
        This was my version of the song. lol

        I’m a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age.
        I’m also a huge fan of Brody Dalle:)

        Thanks for stopping by my rose patch friend:)

        • I’m not familiar with Brody Dalle. Looks like I have some homework to do! Thank you for pointing me towards artists that are new to me. I love discussing music. Have a wonderful day ❤️

          • She was married to the lead singer of Queens of the Stone Age. Divorced now but I love her music! This is one of my faves.

            • I’m so glad you mentioned her. I’ve been putting her songs on my playlist one after the other. Thank you!

    • Dark and dragged kicking, we love it Lady

      • Hey Meme!
        Thank you, thank you!
        I was in a mood when I wrote this lol
        I love females who can kick some ass. Hahaha

        Later gator!

    • An army of you?! The world isn’t ready! LOL
      This is rockin! I like the edginess of it, too. It shows a side of you that doesn’t get aired much. The grit and the power-punch lines. I love it! That’s my girl! (Woman!)
      Keep that fire baby, you’re going to need it soon! What!

      • Hahaha, an army of me would be fabulous if I do say so myself.
        We would storm all the Pandora jewelry stores! Hehehe

        I’ve been told I look like other people! Stopped in the mall and all kinds of stuff. True story!

        Thanks for all the encouragement and support babe.
        Means the mundo!

        • I already explained to you why people think that you’re a TV personality etc. Because you have so much in common with what it takes. The charisma and personality. The looks, obviously.
          Yadi yadi yadi. Don’t be getting all smug and self-righteous on me! Lol

    • Aww thank you but you are biased! lol
      Self-righteous never, smug on rare occasions!
      Hey I’m human not perfect lol

    • This is a rip up the road poem. A take no prisoners poem! A plasma TV for the ship’s deck matte poem! Walk the plank on roller skates poem. Eat a box of pop tarts in one sitting poem. A half-gallon of chocolate milk in one chug poem. lol Good one.

      • Hahah. I love the energy of your comment! Woop Woop!
        Thank you for catching my vibe buddy.
        If I remember correctly you were the one who said I have a doppelgänger on DUP!

        Roller skating off a plank! In real life I’m a klutz! I’d roll off before I get to the end. 😂

        Thanks for stopping by amigo!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Love the vibe and attitude of this write my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hey Damien.

        Have a great day!
