    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Your words pulled on these old heartstrings my friend. Appreciate you.

      • thank you dearest Damian for feeling me so deeply on this I appreciate you 💕

    • Your words have a way of slicing below the surface, to the core. The last two lines remind me of the lyrics, “ it’s better to burn out than it is to rust”. Keep shining, my friend.

      I sincerely hope to meet you on the other side!

    • thank you graciously dearest Gus for feeling me so deeply it’s appreciated 💕

    Destruction does not happen it's created

    I was born from two people who did not know what they created A force to be reckoned with, never to be underestimated.  As I walk into the room, all eyes are on me. Smooth like iceNot seeing the fire being set free What they don't...

    • fucking shit…. I left for a few weeks now you want me dead… ok im leaving

    • Um…duly noted. Definitely destruction incarnate

    • This is rather unsettling knowing the devastation that’s so common these days with active shooters. Very scary.

      • I did not want you to feel that way. Going with the prompt I created with Ambyr, He picked creation, and I chose to go with devastation. That encompasses Fire, Water, Ice

        • No problem. The poem has a lot of weight to it and a lot of fire in its delivery.

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. This is a change of pace my friend, you always prove there is no subject you can’t tame. It’s too close to call, you both delivered amazing writes. Appreciate you.

    • You nailed this one. No doubt about it. The kind of write that pulls you along in an inexorable tide of power and rhyme. I keep envisioning cement shoes while reading 😁

    I tell myself stories Constantly I construct entire backstories From little innocuous events Forever confusing My invention with reality Loudly screaming my opinions In my head About all the things Nobody asked

    • I construct stories all the time, too. I relate to this.

    • This reminds me of someone I used to work with. They had a full book worth of different stories in their head. They would go on all work shift telling me these stories.

      Great ink, friend.

    • I do the same when I’m unoccupied. Daydreaming can be constructive as long as you know which sidewalk is real.

    My apathy is not a surrender It’s just the only way I can fight You may tie my hands But you cannot restrain my mind
