Read MoreDawn in your waking eyes, dusk in your dying eyes. Our eyelids peel in daybreak and embrace in nightfall. There was an aurora of tears in your dusking eyes. Now a velvety blackness behind those fallen eyelids. Now a death-like still in those tear-wells. Now a life-like rush in bulging...

Read More“More Than Scribbles” The pen does not speak— it holds its silence in a chamber, a reservoir where sentences float unformed, dark rivers stalled before the mouth of paper. Each droplet is a thought waiting for gravity’s compunction, a poem in liquid pause, its capillary compression held at the narrow...

Oh, thanks for the heads up, FD. Didn’t even notice that, at first. Still exploring how ‘thought on thought’ could be so compelling 🙏🏻🕊️

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly!!!
A huge 💥CONGRATULATIONS💥 to you on your excellent Win! 🏆No one paints wondrously vivid, deeply emotional, metaphorically enthralling Free Verse imagery more magically brilliant, via the endlessly colored medium of creative articulation ⁓ than YOU!
And, no one’s poetry excites and enthralls my depths more thoroughly than Yours. You’re a True Master Poetess – in every sense of the words. I’ve always enviously admired your incomparably original skills with a pen.Your first two verses alone made of me a living, breathing voyeur to the captivating ambiance and verisimilitude in your moment’s reality … I mean, truly, I was there ~ even when the snow began silently falling.
I couldn’t be prouder of and happier for you, Dear Kelly, always … hugs! ⁓ Richard🖌

I, too, have always been thankful for You, Kelly 🍷
I joined the Café in 2005 as Rascal, and rejoined in 2017 as Richard, and it was then (9-years past) we shared our first poems, and I’ve been smitten ever since.✨

“my heart became a voyager to the past”
Some writers don’t need (don’t use) huge words to try and hide their mediocre poetry with glossy accessories. You don’t.
You are incredibly effective talking to the reader in a language we all can follow fluidly. That is skill. You have it.
Truly rewarding reading your material every time. -

There’s a quiet enchantment here—how the simple act of listening becomes a journey, a communion with voices long gone. I love how the snowfall mirrors the unfolding of the words, each line falling gently yet leaving a lasting trace. The poem makes memory, literature, and presence feel alive at once…..Great to see you here.
