Omg. Next step oil poured into hand. Saying “warming up the oil”

Happy New Year, Sam! Well, you got your just desserts from her, mister! Have a lovely, loving, sucksexful 2026! Harriet-Jacqui xx

It’s even worse when you get no response even though you know they’ve read it.
Like this very much ….perhaps because I’ve tried the same sexting caper many times myself.
What would you do if she tried something similar on you….lol

Mark and I sext all the time when we are at work! Sometimes it’s not always a good thing when your boss walks
In and asks for an update about a certain meeting I completely forgot about because I was distracted! Hahaha
Yes, true story!

Thanks for the reminder to keep things interesting.

And if this was a true text, I think her response was a subtle reminder to make you work for it.
I’d have kept the thread going!

Wow. Iv never done that before. Though I don’t know why she would say that lol.

Thank you for sharing. 😊

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!!

Dear A,

I love the momentum in this piece. For me it really looks the gratitude and potential of relationships and events that occur during a year in the life. How fast they come and go. Congrats on your promotion! Life to see your writes.

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!

Beautifully penned, Adel. An excellent write my friend. Merry Christmas to you and Mark, hope all is well with you both. Appreciate you.

Damian

Love this, great to see you writing Lady

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. 🙂

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.

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.

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.

Del

This is a hard hitting one because I do relate to this piece.i enjoy your work

Oh! it makes me think back to simpler times when things weren’t all amuck.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent lyrics my friend. Really dig the musical accompaniment. I heard gospel and r&b elements maybe a touch of Motown. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Damian

Not everything comes shiny and new for Christmas but its the effort that counts
Unfortunately, when tragedy happens it doesn’t care what day it is.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas Day:). Always focus on the positive here and now chica:)
They carry us through the hard times.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Dear W,

Beautiful, heart felt, heartache, touchingly gorgeous I could go on. Every word so poignant and meaningful you’ve painted a word picture that has touched me beyond measure. Beautiful write. H🌷

This poem honors the truth many people carry through the holidays—the quiet grief, the missing chairs, the love that survives scarcity. It’s honest without bitterness, and that makes it powerful.

Cleverly penned, Keith. Only the Dr. Seuss of horror could take this Christmas classic and flip it on its head. lol. Appreciate you.

Damian

I was laughing so hard at this. Really good rendition Keith;))

Oh what fun it is to ride!!! 😂😂😂
This is so funny and creative! Thank you very much for this wonderful Christmas gift, dear Keith!

A scorched-earth parody that weaponizes familiarity. The humor comes less from punchlines and more from how far it’s willing to push desecration of a cultural comfort song. Not subtle, but very intentional.
