    Latchkey Kid—and Proud of It

    ⸻We didn’t need a manual.We had parents who were there—not hovering, not micromanaging,just there.And that was enough.So we learned to handle life.Alone. Early.And just fine.We were told what to doand when to do it.No debates, no feelings circles.No “gentle...

    • What a ride. This is fantastic. I was one of those latchkey kids as well. We did it and made it work. Ingenuity & creativity. It made us for what we are today. We weren’t kids sitting in the corner crying about spilled milk or some lame ass shit they cry over today. Nice work here.

      • Hi there Vision, I don’t know, I’ve been on this whole spinnaker of how life used to be. I think it’s the fact that the past 30 + years, life in America has just been decimated and eliminated; everything America was, is truly gone. And I’m feeling the burn. It’s not like generations before, where things would change and that was the way life goes, but it hasn’t just changed, It’s just gone.
        Thank you for visiting. I always appreciate your presence on my page❤️

    • I don’t agree with everything but that’s okay. Your work makes you think. It’s a topic that is right at the front of the world but everyone is ignoring it. I like how you just tackled the issue in the room.

      You might enjoy Ray Bradbury’s short Story “The Veld” it echoes what you are highlighting here.

      Keep up the intensity my friend
      I really enjoyed this

      • Nice to see you James. I appreciate you coming by to read me. It’s just a crazy world we live in. That’s all. And I will check out Ray Bradbury Veld.
        Thank you my friend

    Sex In The Candlelight

    Lust in the candlelight, light that's radiant, where the hot, dripping wax flows.   The candlight simmering, the flamelight on our bare bodies, the golden bronze effect of the light on our skin as it glistens with sweat.   Cuddled now, hot and sweaty, your body tremors against mine in anticipation...

    • Powerfully written, highly realistic, and illuminating poem on some people’s lives. You wrote this so well, my friend. The ongoing tragedy is captured with vivid and clear storytelling that gives the reader a glimpse into what is going on with this woman through observations so clear that I can empathize with her. She seems to be a result of an upbringing that left her lost. And you illustrate this perfectly here.

    • It is a sad reality for most. But her priorities are fucked! Thank you my friend. Appreciate the feedback!

    • Truth be told. Life is often cold.

    • Another write that punches you in the gut. Well done!

    • Powerfully penned, Keith. Priorities lead to choices, great write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Priorities schmiorities… it is indeed a sad reality for many as Adira stated. But I mean come on??? I’d free bleed if it came down to feeding my kid, something’s gotta give here…

      Also hope the POS who gave her the bruises got what he deserved..

      Well done my friend, you’re amazing as always!

    • You did a great job with this, dear Keith! You are a precise observer and fantastic and non judgmental storyteller who léaves it to the reader to make up their own mind. Concerning me, I pity the woman but at the same time I can’t understand that her baby isn’t her first priority. If possible, breastfeeding would be a wise idea to give the child a solid basis for a healthier life. Maybe, just maybe this baby could be the person to break the vicious crcle of violence, poverty and hopelessness.

      • Hello Sappho. Options were there for this woman but she chose what mattered for herself, not the baby. You hope the kid has a brighter future, but the % of that is very slim. Thanks my friend.xo
