    The Gift of Chaos

      Somebody is always tryingto give me something.A gift wrapped in bitterness,a box full of lunacy,a package of somebody else'stroubled mindwith my name written on it.Sometimes they hand it to mewith a smile.Sometimes they throw it at me.Sometimes they call...

    • This is so cool. I enjoyed this.

    • Thank you Willow for mentioning me and other regulars in this delightful piece.
      Made me feel like part of a learned,diverse and decent community.
      💋

      • Community is everything these days. Your comment about being a coffee companion sparked the inspiration for this one. 😊

    • Hi Willow! I love how this opens and how you see all of us here on the site.
      It was a nice reminder for me since I’ve been locked away for the past year writing.
      Plus another reminder of where my writing flourished.
      It was beside you and everyone you mentioned plus a few others:)
      I wish I was on more but please know you and everyone here are always in my thoughts.
      You also made Mark’s morning! I got a text telling me about this write!!
      Thank you for such a lovely description:)
      Right back at ya chica. You are magnificent!

      • I feel like the world has become increasingly dark of late and if we don’t celebrate each other and our community, we really miss an opportunity. There were a lot I couldn’t fit in here but I didn’t want to create an epic, so I stuck with the core I interact with most frequently. Do your thing, girl. The community will still be here when you have breathing room 😊

    • Awwwww! It’s always nice to be acknowledged for some good that we do. And yeah, me and Del may be lovebirds, but we love to write as well.
      This is such a snazzy write! I do like the community aspect of the place, for those who actually take part! Like you!

      • Felt like introducing my community to a stranger, writing this one. That’s how inspiration seems to hit when we trigger a write in each other, the way Peter’s comment inspired this one. We gotta lift each other up! 😊

    • Amazingly penned, Willow. Wow.. You’ve written an anthem for the site, and a soundtrack for this community of writers that aren’t afraid to wield their pens and share their journeys. Walking these halls is an honor, and I’m grateful for this community and our creative family that gathers around the bonfire from time to time. Excellent lyrics and an amazing musical arrangement as always. I’m assuming this one goes on the “Bonfire” album? You know I want this one.. Appreciate you, Sis.

      • I had a lot of fun with this one while I was sick. It just kept growing because there are so many I wanted to mention. One comment about morning coffee and we celebrate each other and the site. It’s definitely on the album. I’ve already sent it your way, bro. See you at the next bonfire! 😊

    • OMG… thank you Willow.. I didn’t know I can light fires… well, maybe little ones… but I am honored to be part of this amazing group. Don’t worry I will try to keep an eye on you.. well, especially you …

      • A fire is only little because of the space and oxygen allowed. And a spark can become an Inferno without warning. We need the heat as winter approaches. Your last line cracked me up. I’ll try not to give you too much trouble 😊😂

    • The Sheriff will always live! We had some good years…and they ain’t done yet! 🙌

    Intimacy

    Once the raging waves finally settleThere is a silence so deafeningA shell once strong, now crumblingHow foolish to believe it was made of metalDisheartening to find to be as frail as a petal Longing for her tender hands feels...

    Sweet Dreams

    When the day is dark And the night is light When the world was flat And the eagles took flight Innocent dreams rose to the sky Ridden on a stallion 10 stories high A tender kiss I bestow you all Good night and sweet dreams As my...
