    • 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!!

    • 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.

      • 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.

    • So this is your song if only…I like it.

    • A song played on a radio, as a teen-aged girl dreams of that secret crush she has. I’m sure that this lyrical gem has been played for so many young women, and men. It’s called a crush because thats what it feels like in our chests, huh!

    • Beautifully penned, Fia. Excellent write my friend. I really like this a lot. Appreciate you, cuz.

      Damian

    • Chère F.,
      Every time I discover more reasons to love your write to bits.
      And this is also such an event.
      At the end of your poem, you offer a possibility to choose. Simply wonderful, but it reminds me of a song I once wrote. A long long time ago. And its title is Bevrijdingsdag. Translated: liberation day. I wouldn’t write a song with such a title today, but that’s another story.

      The chorus of the song is forceful and perhaps a bit extreme. It translates like this:

      You said ‘Married’ – and I said so what
      I’d love to choose if I may
      Don’t talk to me about divorce
      Everyday’s liberation day

      And then I asked the public:
      You’ve heard it. She said ‘married’. But didn’t say who is married, so it’s up to you to choose.
      – is he married
      – is she married
      – are they both married, but not to each other

      Raise your hands!

      And I would let the public decide. And I would have three songs ready to fit the decision.
      A situation, prone to personal ‘colouring’. My personal colouring that is. I’m not On a stage for nothing.

      Yes, a bit of a long reply. But maybe an idea 💡 for if and when you’re going to do some beat poetry. The public will love you all the more for this kind of surprises. Really.
      I’m a huge fan of open mic evenings; maybe I can transfer some of the excitement to you.
      Other than that: keep them coming, please.

      Warm regards, Gus

      • I do not mind long replies. I am happy that this ignited a memory and that you are encouraging me to do open mic. I would love to read it. No worries. I will use a translator. Thank you for loving my work. poems and stories.

    • Very nice indeed ma’am .. Neville 😎🌻👍
