    I Am Woman

    I am a riot of morning light, a sudden blooming of silk and sun in a world that sometimes forgets how to glow. My laughter is a silver bell rung in an open field, a sound that carries the...

    • Hi K.,
      Since 1964 (I believe), I have a flex disk, LP on the ESP’ label that comes to mind when I read your poem.

      Poet Amiri Baraka is no stranger to controversy, and his work with avant-garde jazz band the New York Art Quartet (NYAQ) was no exception.

      It was released under a nom de plume Leroy something, but in essence it was free style poetry against the pulsing ‘beat’ of free jazz.
      This interaction worked remarkably well.
      Perhaps I may suggest you do something like this (your poem against any type of music you prefer)?

      Needless to say, I love this poem to bits.
      Kind regards, Gus

      • Hi, Duhsjaak, thank you for your encouraging words. I do love a challenge. And I can rightly say, your suggestion has inspired me to go forth and create.

    • This is absolutely lovely. A metaphysical bought down to a sublime earthiness
      in one the most eloquent and lyrical excerpt of poetic musing I’ve haven’t experienced in a while
      You did the damn thing

      Much respect

    Why Is It? LIVE

    ‘Is it tonight?’‘Yes.’‘Why?’She didn’t answer. Instead, she cut off the call. I stuffed my phone into my back pocket and entered the forest. Treading the path that I had trodden so many times before. The looped path. The path...

    • Unsettling and very depressing, Dmitry. All those post-apocalyptic stories are horrid in their own way, but this was extra painful as the main characters were kids. Your story reminded me of the movie The Blue Lagoon from 1980. Two teenagers stranded on a deserted island and tried to cope with the situation the best they could. They even had a baby of their own, and at some point they saw no other way out, and decided to end their lives by eating some poisonous berries …

      • Thank you! I love evoking emotions in readers.
        But in “The Blue Lagoon” (part two), the heroes actually survived. In my story – no. No chance 😉

    • I agree with Al this was unsettling. Well written and conveyed allot not leaving the mind to wonder what happened next.
