    Storms and Stillness

    An approaching storm encroaches onquiet stillnesswhile two candles glowon a desknear a windowwith flames hoveringabove a poet's verse.Far off, thunder rollsunyielding,ready to answer sharplyquarreling clouds.As light flashesacross the skyrain probes the windowwith its delicate fingers.In minutesthe gutter overcrowdswith rainwater...

    Bumpy Wheel

    As usual, I grab the wrong grocery cart and go bumpity-bumpity down the aisle. Maybe there's a wad of gum or something stuck to a wheel. I bend down to see. A jelly bean! For goodness sake! For the prices Piggly Wiggly charges,...

    • I enjoyed how this came full circle.
      It started with an irritating bumpy grocery car wheel then at the end he didn’t care about his dented rim.
      It’s symbolic because it shows movement your write. How your day can start out mundane but end on a high note.
      I enjoyed the read:)

    • Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

    • I go through the same dilemma with the shopping carts, Sam. I always get the one that feels like there’s an earthquake commencing. How funny! I loved how you allowed your reader to follow through your excursion from aisle to aisle, frozen foods and pink toenails. What a gem. Much enjoyed…and I love this photo of you, too!

    • Thank you, Kelly. There are the ones that won’t steer straight, also. I tell my single 34 year-old son to spend more time at the grocery store.

    The Paper Streets of Bittersmith-on-Sea

    We created an imaginary town  so we could drape our bodies  over sky furniture    Wed into badly drawn chapel  we spoke in ghost as ectoplasm spears,  stitched haunted mist    to cold lips of yesterday    River libraries flowed requiescat verse  into the shopping centre hospital;  intensive care was just...

    • Once I read sky furniture I knew this was going to be a unique read with
      lots of imagination.
      Then river libraries flowed.
      Just wow. I loved where this took me.

    • The last two lines are epic. It’s a creative write throughout, yes, and the ending sends it higher. What a strong wording, thick with the weight of thought. It’s what makes us better readers, when taking on such things as this. No fluffy bunnies. Bears and wolves with a pen.

      • Think this needs some re-working to be candid Mark, but such compliments from writers (and people) like your good selves, somehow make it worthwhile.
