The bow scratching across the strings mimicking a hammer pounding the nail. The dark of the coffin; the escape from this life to somewhere else…Incredibly dark and spooky. I get a real haunting vibe out of this. As though walking down a cloudy road next to a cemetery and hearing a scream, yet seeing nothing. Only silence. Awesome poem!

Thank you, Tim.

Powerfully penned, Adagio. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Chère F.,
You care for us like a lover.
With calloused, no: with warm and soft hands.
And I am very grateful for this.

I wish you a blessed, happy and inspired 2026. With enough time to do other things you love.
Warm wave, warm regards, Gus

This is a hauntingly deep, dark and meaningful poem. The biblical cross references and the comparison of a month which is naturally attracted by flame and the inquisition that gained infamous notoriety through the cruelty of the stakes are breathtaking! This is poetry at its best, my friend!

Thank you so much, Elke.

Nice write Wally

Beautifully penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. The life of a writer is never boring. Appreciate you.

We are all here to share words; to offer through cyberspace an image, a scene, or an experience that can hopefully come alive in the readers mind.

If we have writings we are too shy to reveal to friends or relatives, there’s always a place waiting where we can share with likeminded souls, knowing we are always welcome. The door down the hall is always unlocked.

And when we’ve settled in, it’s as though we are sharing a piece of ourselves with confidence.

Awesome writing, Wally.

Really enjoyed this. You wrote what a home should be. Thank you.

Powerfully penned, Adagio. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.
