    Empath Me

    • No one in their right or indeed write mind wants to feel down or depressed .. I found this post/poem very much to my liking indeed it was compelling .. Kind regards, Neville

    • When you’ve been there, you know

    • Peter, this touched my heart. Suffering is used to refine and strengthen us, much like a blacksmith uses a furnace to refine precious metals. Stay strong. 🌹🌾🕊️

    • I’ve had my share of dark thoughts. I don’t want to go back to that place. One can only hope the future is better.

    The Gin Shot

    It was my third assignment for the Cohol Tribune. My boss thought it would be best for me to go and interview an upcoming environmentalist, named Caleb. Stewart. I didn't realize I would need to travel to Scotland for...

    • Brilliantly penned, Fia. Wonderful storytelling, it kinda reminds me of a sitcom my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

    • I enjoyed this. Comparing the kiss to drinking water is imaginative–I like it. I need to “see” the action in a story, and that was easy with this. Probably because I’m a very foolish (and hopeless) romantic, I feel bad when romance has to take a back seat to life goals. Maybe she’ll see him again?

    A Question of Words

      If I ask a mind not flesh, not soul,To weave a poem, to make it whole,Is it mine, or borrowed threadA shadow cast, a voice unsaid? If crafted by a silent guide,Whose thoughts arise from circuits wide,Do I claim what...

    Challenge Are you up for it?

    Calling all those who fish  I have an idea that's delish  Can you write about the catch  Not the one that you threw back    I have a Twist in mind  Not all fish are one of a kind  The catch can be by sea or...

    • this makes me think of metaphors for getting with someone romatically and going to the flea market and haggling for the write price haggling with a whore sorry Fia it’s the images your challenge brought 💕

      • It’s fine. Go for it and write crimsin

        • I cast desire upon the tide,
          My fingers tremble for her weight
          A secret urge I cannot hide,
          My bait a promise, sweet as fate.

          She rises shimmering, bare and bold,
          Her flanks and curve inflame the air
          Enticing as forbidden gold,
          She stirs my blood with fevered dare.

          She fights, resists, with sultry grace,
          Her finish slick against my skin;
          The pull, the yield, our swift embrace
          She swallows lust, I drink her in.

          On shore, still dripping wet with lust,
          Her form revealed, full-bodied, wild
          We meet as lovers, freed and flushed
          My catch, my craving, reconciled

    Another Problem Solved

    How can I miss you? When you never go away Water’s wet sky is blue Perpetual victim falls prey   Outside in the distance A stranger lies in wait Steeped in persistence  Always guarding the gate   When did I get wise? Is the proper question  As soon as a crow...

    • Dear D,

      You still got it. An incredible meter. Made me want to sing this. The imagery played in my head of a dark bus stop. Why? No clue. But the players in this piece for me, were intertwined. Trying to run but wanting to stay. I have a longer version running in my head but I’ll spare you the directors cut😊
      Wonderful write. H🌷

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I sometimes have that effect, it’s just the lyricist in me. lol. I always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    • Haha great end there, friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked it as well. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Just reading Honoria’s comment above & I think she’s right. This one might need to be considered for your lyrics list on the album. It has a cadence that moves & the visual is captivating. Worth considering, my friend? 🤔

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Anything is on the table, maybe even spoken word. Never say never. The song I’m working on, I literally had to start writing lyrics to it. None of the old words were fitting the vibe. Also, I haven’t tried to write a song for many summers now. I kinda forgot sometimes the music leads the dance. lol. Appreciate you.
