    Blues Fats Baritones - with Adelphina

    Listening to blues fats baritonesAnd sassy saxNeath the chestnut moon Scrunching out notesWith sloe gin and quinine And bitter lemon's Serendipitous pulp rind In Sunday's massAbove the fault line, disownedAngels burned their shoesMelting communion waxAnd plastic churchesTheir wings slipped...

    • There is so much truth to this! I love this part.

      Hard times and bad days
      are what made me.
      Stronger? I’m not really sure,
      but I’m durable.

      You slayed this write amiga!

    • The Irish take everybody! But, I gotta warn ya, bad luck gets us all! Just tell yourself that things will get better, and they will.
      Your write is actually inspiring by the way!
      Hang in there!

    • Powerfully penned, PG. Excellent write my friend, I can definitely relate. I’m in a better place these days, but it’s still a work in progress, I still have bad days here and there as well. Thanks for sharing and hang in there. Appreciate you.

    We Were All New Roses Once

    We bloom at different timesScenting the air with the aroma of newPetals supple and silky to the touch When spring clouds weepWe catch them on our petalsto adorn them like diamonds We had thornsTo deter the ill reputeWho could not wait...

    • Oh damn, girl! This is a brilliant piece of writing. Not only the idea of roses, but each stage and facet of their existence…and we are indeed like them! 🌹

    • It’s a shame we can’t be new roses longer. We get older and look back at how we could have dome things better. But alas, we start to wilt and time goes on until we are dust once again. Good one Fia.

    • My grandmother (my mom’s mom) had rose bushes in her backyard and roses often found their way onto the dinning room table. I would help her sometimes with weeding and tilling the soil around the bushes. It was a fun job getting my hands dirty and listening to her tell stories of her life. Your poem reminded me of her and some pieces of my younger self came alive as I read. I think Fia, if we keep those memories in our minds we are always young for they make us who we have become.

      Thanks for sharing this tender poem, Fia

    • This is quite a refreshing piece.

      My Grandma was called Rose and I was named after her.

      I admire your connection to nature and the surroundings.

      I find this exquisite and delicate in its own way.

      Peaceful and pleasant read. x

    This is an amazing song. The words without the meaning has so much meaning behind it.

    LIBERATION

    The bass thrums within the marrow of the bone, striking the same deep chord as the tide against a rotting pier. Every syllable carries the heat of midday sun. The ink smells of brine and dried cedar. I anchor...
