True story, too. And boys are very different — at least in Texas, at least in military families. Larry now is a very gentle man who would do anything for me — or anyone else, for that matter. Thanks for your comments.

What doesn’t kill ya makes you tougher? While we didn’t have a lair like yours, our favorite swimming hole had raw sewage draining into it. I love these kinds of tales, as you know. An entertaining story, for certain.

Thanks, Sam, as always, though I’ll never catch up to you. But I have become a tough old bird over all these years. Doesn’t keep me from squawking now and then, though.

Amethyst is one of my favorite colors.
This is a very soothing read.
Like reading lavender, if that makes sense 🙂
Beautifully done:)-

Thank you! I’ve been having this recurring dream of an amethyst sea, and reflecting on it gives me such inner peace. Now I even own many amethyst gemstones. Adelphina, your words about it being soothing really resonate. I love swimming just as the sun is setting.
It’s such an ethereal experience. The water feels as warm as the sunset, and the sky’s colors are breathtaking. Perhaps that’s why I dream of this sea, and I’m happy I was able to capture this experience in Amethyst Sea. I’m so glad it came across that way!

Thank you so much, Damian! I really appreciate you noticing the imagery and color– those beach sunsets here on the island, where I live are my biggest inspiration. Appreciate you too, friend!

This feels haunting and ethereal. The imagery of mist, dust, and fatal blossoms captures that eerie beauty of twilight so well. A powerful blend of melancholy and mystery.

I love this twilight mood in the forest which you describe perfectly here. A little dangerous, magical and most mystical! A mind blowing imagery in this awesome poem, my friend!

Don’t feel sorry for him. I heard he was a troublemaker. Thanks Fia.

Powerfully penned, Keith. It’s that time of year, when you tell halloween stories. With a name like, Rusty Trombone, he was dealt a bad hand from the start. Appreciate you.

That’s some heavy fucking irony, Keith. The title reminded of an old song, though it had to do with trains it wasn’t this twisted. Appreciate you.

Hi Damian. I’m familiar with that old track. The Yardbirds & Aerosmith covered it. Thanks for the feedback friend.

Gotta be on your toes. Getting too comfortable can get you hurt.
This also reminds me of people who text and walk into polls because they don’t look around.-

Absolutely. People today are so oblivious of their surroundings. That was one of the reasons why I wrote this piece. Thanks Adelphina.

Okay, I was the older sibling, and I would never do something like that to my sister. Sure, we fought but that was normal. To make you believe he was taken by someone and hurt or killed was mean. Good story
