    • I’ve honestly have only watched the first episode of Stranger Things. but your poem stands powerfully on its own. The imagery is so vivid and eerie, it feels like a story in itself.

      • In the fourth season there is a character that plays the song from Metallica. So epic!!!! I put the link below in case you’re curious. I haven’t been writing the past year. I’ve been busy trying new things so your comment means the world.

        Thanks for stopping by:)

    • Wow this is dark. I remember the show. Nicely written.

      • Hey Fia. Thank you!
        I wrote this yesterday trying to find my mojo. lol
        It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and written anything.
        I’m going to post more often but it might be some older stuff from DUP.
        Im still simmering on my other write about wildflowers.
        Fingers crossed I will write something this weekend.

        Thanks for the support:)

    • What! Of course you should’ve been made! All of my bad luck, you are my salvation!
      You don’t write “dark” much. But obviously you can when it hits ya. The plethora of details within the write make it full, like a bag of candy when trick or treating. (That black cat I saw a few weeks ago was right outside my front door this evening!).
      Haunting write, my Morticia,LOL.

    • Hahahaha. There’s your word plethora!! You crack me up up.
      Me a good luck charm? I feel a pandora charm coming on hehehehe
      And you can’t take it back. I’m still your salvation but you have to take me shopping for girl stuff!
      Thank you lover !!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend, this one has darker tones. I dig it. Appreciate you.

      I’m going to indulge in my dark side for a minute. lol

      Thanks for the snaps on this write!

    • lol, My nightmare book report was Silas Marner. I remember those days of summer that were stolen from us.

    • Oh, thank God! For a moment I thought this would be some dry learned lecture, then the first verse got me chuckling. When Ishmael asked the others to call him, I just howled and my wife came back here and asked me what was wrong. I told her, “I’ll just have to read this to you.” So I did, and we both roared with laughter all the way through. Thank you so much for this one, Jake. We really needed that. You have any more like this? I can go put on the popcorn!

      • ha ha….I don’t even lecture to my classes. All satirical and glad that it could give you a few chuckles. Thanks for letting me know this.
        There is truth in this in the fact of me hating Moby Dick with a passion.

        • Just please give us more of these. You now have a niche market your fans are literally howling for. Doing anything else could be dangerous.

    • Cleverly penned, Jacob. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

    Migrating Swallows

    Roll you hair above your neck  let me fortress centuries of love bites  upon your skin, where no warrior  would ever dare cross our moat    The ghost of Caligula  haunts my city walls,  my heart remains legion; my mind is a bruise  which only bleeds kindness, forever chasing...

    • I like how the poem casts Caligula -a figure known for cruelty -into a haunting, reflective presence. I feel intrigued and a little unsettled: his brutal history seeps through with a mild, almost playful sadism, yet the poem channels that darkness into a tender, romantic meditation on desire, resilience, and the quiet power of love. Beautiful.

      • An artistic and intriguing comment. I lived in the English city of Chester for some time and it’s steeped in Roman history,. Think it may have had some bearing on this scribble. Thank you.

    • Passionately penned, Ghosteen. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Effective personal storytelling through historical abstractions. Your words are both sharp and tender. Always glad to see you posting here.
