    • To see the world and its inhabitants as they truly are and be able to accept them is being “woke” then I am too. Nice stream of consciousness.

      • I will never be ashamed of supporting those who are just trying to live their lives. I mean I feel extra worried for trans people. When you have the vice president calling trans people deranged it’s mind blowing. Scary times.

        Thanks for the read, much appreciated.

    • Spitting fire, Nick. Into the book it belongs! A very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • !!!!🙌 So on point, my friend! That’s all I got for words here. You done said it all🙌!!!

      • ✋ such a great comment. Honestly I’m just happy to see there are people that see the ugliness that is happening.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • Hell yeah! 💥
      Really, it’s gotta be the most lame-ass insult I’ve ever heard. If someone is calling people “woke”, does that mean they’re admitting that they’re asleep..? And… proud of it..? 😆 Geez.

      Love this write!
      ❤️k

      • Yeah, it is very stupid. And yet they keep saying it like they’re on to something. Literally they’re saying we shouldn’t think. It’s just as stupid as that movie don’t look up.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • I am reading and I will do my best to get eyes on the creatives. Being a creative person is never easy, but it is a necessity in my eyes.

      • Art is always subjective but I think losing DUP was a big hit to us poets. But I really hope to see more friendly faces here. I think once people get the hang of things they would see it’s even better.

        I try to do my part as well but life is busy these days.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Well I was hooked from the first line, where does poetry go when it dies? I guess into oblivion to exist but be unseen and unheard. It’s crazy how we have so devalued and under appreciated art in any of its true forms when the world we live in now screams all the things that should make it thrive.

      • Devalued is pretty much everything now. It’s sad, but maybe one day things will come around. I mean if vinyls can make a comeback, why not?

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Mic Drop! Excellent write, Nick. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I will never surrender my ink! We’re not dying. We’re simply finding pockets of safety in a world gone mad. If I could put this on my reading list, I would…twice. Damn…

      • A very mad world these days. Which honestly with as many opinions people have you think they would want to write poetry instead of tweets.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    The Expedition

    From a far off galaxy, the flying saucer burned through earth's atmosphere and spiraled down through clouds and blue sky until it glanced off Oakville's water tower. Careening wildly, it skidded across highway forty-five and rolled into the ditch like...

    The Replacement

    Is there any greater sorrow than to lose someone you love? Nine year-old Jenny didn't think so. Sitting motionless on the backyard swing, she struggled with her emotions and wept. My heart is broken into many small pieces! How shall...

    • What a charming little story. I didn’t know how it was going to end up going about halfway through but alls well that ends well.

    • A heart-warming story, Sam. Your characters always have personality that is lovable in some way…even a cat. 🙂

    • Ah, the sweet, gentle world of an innocent young girl (I’ve one posted simply, “Girl”).

      Sam,
      You never fail to touch your readers’ hearts, minds, ‘n souls in bringing to life your characters’ personalities (even a cat’s), and in how they each fit so perfectly into your stories’ always interesting plots … and, your grammar is exemplary.

      This is a most lovely piece, and I love the surprise ending.
      I hope you like it here, Sam … the site needs your “special” touch! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • Thank you, Richard.

      • Ah, yes, the story of the mean old man with the heart of stone resurrected by the hot love of a 1912 Ford. Those cute little machines just whirred and purred right into everyone’s hearts, didn’t they? Another horror story well told, Samuel.

    • Thank you. Yeah, scary stuff for Halloween.
