    There exists a spiderweb within.Sometimes it traps flowers.And sometimes it traps flies that fly right in. The spiders who own it feel so swell.When they eat their dinner ,bugs so swell.Some prefer them raw. And other spiders prefer them rare.Some like...

    End of a Good Thing

    you're always sad because someone you love has passed seemed like it would be forever but nothing ever last you still remember his muddy shoes he used to leave by the door and how his laugh brightened the room never felt the need to be taken...

    • A tender and compassionate writing, dear Nick! The death of a loved one will always leave scars on the soul. But the memory of the time this couples shared can’t be taken away. Gratitude helps coping with the loss.

      • The good days are the now. It’s important not to take them for granted for they won’t last unfortunately.

        Thanks for the read

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. This one tugged at my old heartstrings, outstanding write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Life can be hard but I always have my support from my wife. I think it would be impossible for me without her. But I’ve seen a few people go through this tragedy.

      Thanks friend. Much appreciated.

    • Life is short and tragedy comes fast.

      Thanks for the read friend

    Nothing's Good Anymore

    walking down the street isn't like it used to be the colors on buildings have dulled everyone's looking like zombies trying to find identity digging up relicsbut the soul is long gone it reflects in the day to day wearing clothes with no personality the mind always...

    • Your words are from wisdom. I’m a bit older than you but I can identify with all you’ve said. Growing up for me saw some great music that was uplifting and fun. I hear todays music and it is so negative. I can see it affecting people around me. So much violence. There were always drugs when I was growing up and friends I know are suffering today from their effects.

      Life is fragile and dark today. We’ve had that in the past but there was never an internet so we weren’t as exposed to all the negativity and social media we have today. A lot of people are leaving it behind. Those zombies walking the streets should consider that to.

      Great write.

      • Social media is a unregulated poison. I don’t mind angry or sad music. Heck it’s the best way to get out my frustrations poetry wise. But when I think of todays music I don’t get it. It is nonsensical. I don’t know if it’s mad, sad, happy. All I hear is lazy garbage. As for when I was younger I did have a good sense of right and wrong. Unfortunately many friends and family didn’t. Drugs and partying… Being careless. It catches up to you if you don’t know how to moderate it.

        If I were to say what this generation feels to me, I think it seems like generation no identity. And that’s sad.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • I completely agree with this write. Everything is so turned up right now.
      I remember, back in the day, I used to be able to walk home after a movie with my friends as a kid.
      As an adult now, I wouldn’t even consider it. For me back then, nighttime had teenage magic in it. It was a time
      to be brave and do something daring, like sneak out to meet friends or go to a party, without getting outed by a post on Facebook. lol
      I enjoyed this, thanks for posting

      • I think the 80s and 90s were a time of over flowing creativity. Also a time of humanity. We could trust and be friendly without worrying about upsetting someone. Also some things we could all agreed with, like earth is round haha.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. I connect with this one my friend, I think anyone who has mileage in this life can relate. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

      • Sure does feel different these days. I know the world changes and when we get older the world gets stranger. I just never thought it would become everything we were told was bad. Like having individuality is wrong now. Having emotions is wrong, having an opinion is wrong, and being creative is seen as unvaluable. It’s just bizarre to me

        Thanks for the read friend

    • I remember when expression was everything. In how we dressed, how we spoke, the music, the art. Seems like its seriously frowned upon now to step outside some vanilla lines and be unique. I’ll never fit normal, so I’m not bothered by the judgment. But the world does feel like its lost its lustre these days.

      • It does seem like there is some line. I can’t see it though. I never been good at limiting myself because of what others think. But image is everything to people these days. Stuff like tiktok is built off of attention starved people. It’s all about doing whatever it takes to get a cheap like. I honestly grew up being told people like that are pathetic. Now it’s seen as an accomplishment.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • Life is an incredible gift we all take for granted.

    • I wish it was my voice. Unfortunately between covid & asthma I no longer have the pipes I once did. My daughter…she’s got the mother-lode in voice skills. But no, it’s not me or my daughter. Thank you for the moment & welcome to the Stars. Look forward to seeing where you take us

    • One can’t feel loss if they’ve never had anything to lose.
      Terrific write. Poignant and personal.🙏💋🙏🙏

    • Great write willow.
      This touches the soul and gives it a squeeze.
      Wonderful writing chica:)

    • No always a good reason to write, perhaps, but you always write them good. Tribute poems are the “in spite of death”. It can never be final as long as we never let go.
      This is a statue, done in delicate honor. You created another corner in heaven.
      Well written, Willow.

      • It’s become a tradition for me. Honoring him on his birthday. I wouldn’t say it eases the ache any, but it feels a bit like giving him a hug. I’ll stop missing him when I stop breathing. Thank you

    • Life is a battle. And there are those who battle for us. It is hard when we lose those people. Great ink friend.

      • His own personal battles were enormous. But he didn’t give up until his body gave out. I see him all the time in my daughter, who only met him as a baby. He’s been my inspiration. Never lost his sense of humor. I’m told he died smiling. And that is one helluva legacy. Thank you, my friend

    • Beautifully penned, Willow. Loved the arrangement. Starting with just vocal & piano, then introducing another instrument every verse throughout. First the bass line was nice, add some light drums, some strings, add in a build, then a harder drum beat, really enjoyed your choice of music. It pulled at my heartstrings my friend, the subtle changes added layers. Excellent work!! A lovely tribute. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • He loved music. The number of times I woke up to ABBA blasting through the house, or the Statler Brothers…it had to be perfect to honor his love of music. He used to pretend he couldn’t sing, howling lyrics loudly off-key, just to get me to sing them correctly. Then he’d sit back smiling his head off. Memories are all I have now, but they’re beautiful. Thank you, my friend

    • Makes us think of the month of Abib and the Exodus, why?

    • Thank you. When do we get to see your words on the screen? There’s not a lot of interaction happening here these days, but I’m happy to hear new voices and support talent and heart!

    • Get some words up and I will be there for them. I haven’t figured out the support system here yet. I started out trying to comment on everything I could but some never reply, many don’t reciprocate and eventually I gave up. I will never be part of the “it” crowd, but I am solidly in the corner of sincere crowd, if that fits your needs. There are a few who are incredibly supportive. I’m grateful for them, support in return and don’t stress the rest. At the moment this is the best option available. Hopefully it will remain that. 😊

    • All the Moons have their hold on me. This lovely poem held me for a spell and I was fearless yet tinged with a healing sorrow felt for the many dear folks that have flown.
      I was born on a New Moon. It is always enlightening for me during its waxing.
      Be well friend.

      • Daddy was a farm boy. Harvest moon and fall were his time. Always brings him to mind when they roll around. Thank you for your words
