    That time I missed your birthday

    That time I missed your birthday   I never believed the date could          just       slip              by without demanding my focus –   a big red crayon circle     on my mind's calendar...

    • Cleverly penned, K. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • hello Broken One this made me sad…I was thinking earlier that I go along thinking I’m kind until I look at my relationships and realize how mean I can be and I do feel guilty thought provoking write ❤️

      • Sorry to make you sad. I doubt that you’re mean, though!
        This was sort of a response to the other one I posted today. No point feeling guilty when the other person has already left the relationship.
        Thanks for reading!
        ❤️k

    • Dear K,

      This’ll learn them. You forget me I forget you. I’m just kidding…sort of. For me, the heartfelt under current of a relationship shift is prevalent in the write, and we carry these slights forever whether there’s forgiveness or not. I really appreciated this poem. H🌷

      • You got it. These two poems are a pair even though they’re about 5 years apart. It just took that long…
        Thanks for reading it!

    That time you missed my birthday     That’s when I grew up. It’s when I knew I didn’t figure in your plans or rise to your consciousness   Time to put on the big girl pants, get on with life on my own   So I did with a vengeance turning...

    • Powerfully penned, K. Excellent write my friend. Nice to see you again. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thanks, Damian
        It feels good to have something to say again. Reposted this one because of the next one, which is a new write.
        Happy new year!
        ❤️k

    • This is excellent! It reminds me of the saying
      Never let them see you sweat.
      For me that applies to determination. To simply refuse to be taken for granted.
      Love this!

    • hello lovely Broken One I feel I missed out on something in you it so hard for me to connect with people… I would hope I could make you feel special always great write ❤️

    • Dear K,

      Ouch. The sting in this write was an eye opener. It made me feel how much I’d dislike feeling exposed and minimized. I’m sorry if the event is personal history and not the use of metaphor but this is a succinct poem of how vulnerable we can be. Great piece. H🌷

      • Yeah, this was ouchy back when I wrote it, you’re definitely right about that. I reposted because I wrote a counterpart today… with much less ouch.
        ❤️k

    • Fantastic, Damian.

    • This is a dark piece, but it is really good. Thank you for sharing it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know it’s kinda dark, it came out of nowhere. lol. I’m in a good mood still. Appreciate you, cuz.

        Damian

    • Well look at you being all dark after Christmas:)
      Each section had its own dark point of view.
      I really enjoyed the stanza about evil hiding in the mundane
      It reminds me of the saying in the Bible. Idle hands are the devils workshop.

      Great piece amigo!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Also my favorite stanza as well. I was kinda going for the idle hands vibe. Wasn’t meaning to be dark at all, this write came out of nowhere. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • hello dearest Damian very darkly powerful ❤️

    • Fantastic piece of dark poetry my friend. Wonderfully executed.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It certainly spawned out of nowhere. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Heavy hitting vibe, bro This moves the mind down some chambers

      Much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Sometimes you gotta just roll with the punches. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • A bittersweet piece, so beautiful and sad! I am glad that you reassured us that you are doing well , dear Damian!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well I didn’t want anyone worrying about me, and I was happy while I wrote it. It’s kinda like a rain storm while the sun is still shining kinda vibe going on here. So bittersweet fits it perfectly. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This reads like a slow descent through psychological aftermath—the kind that doesn’t announce itself loudly but corrodes over time. The imagery stays grounded while the emotion escalates, especially the idea of evil hiding in the mundane. Quiet, heavy, and effective.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You got all that out of this write? lol. I’m just joshing you. Seriously though, your commentary really means a lot to me as well as your continued support my friend. You’re a gifted writer and I’m a fan of yours as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I can see why others see this is dark, but I read it more as a reflective piece on darker moments. Like sitting under moonlight and remembering full darkness of troubled days…having just enjoyed the warmth of a fire and full spirit. There are definitely elements that lean into darker aspects, but if we’re not peering into those corners, are we really paying attention, or are we just living in denial? To be all sunshine and daisies in the current environment is pure folly. I don’t see dark, I see the shadows that follow us wherever we go. The hope that we still find light. Follow that muse where it takes you, my friend. It never leads you astray

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I always enjoy your commentary, this one is reflective in a sense. Darkness does hide in those corners always lurking in shadow and watching our every move. To believe it doesn’t exist is denial I agree 100% Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • this is extraordinarily noir if you don’t mind me saying .. just saying .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I don’t mind you saying at all, that’s cool with me. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • This is great! You should write more often.

    • Thank you! I’m working on it amigo.
      I got a promotion at work and I don’t have the time as much.

      Thanks for your snaps!!

    • Dear A,

      I love the momentum in this piece. For me it really looks the gratitude and potential of relationships and events that occur during a year in the life. How fast they come and go. Congrats on your promotion! Life to see your writes.
      H x 🌷

      • Hi Honoria!
        There is so much gratitude! This past year I lost my little chihuahua Daisy in November. Right before Thanksgiving. I was a mess. I had her for around 18 years. She was so old and her eyesight was going. Had to give her a little nod in my opening:)
        Mark found a chihuahua Christmas ornament and put it on our tree.

        I’m also looking forward to 2026. All the possibilities!

        I’m so happy to see you here and commenting:)
        Best Christmas gift ever!

    • Hey my little busy Bee! ’25 was such an awesome year for you! Besides Daisy, of course. But your life has so much going on in it. Even getting your book out there in the world! Thank you for sharing it with me. All of my highlights of ’25 involve you!
      This write of yours is so positive and empowering. I love the feeling of determination that is being carried within it. And I’m glad that you got some creative results out of the Taylor movie. I will be more kind when talking about her from now on. LOL
      I’m all about my Adelphina! Woo hoo!

      • Hey there lover!
        This write is all about timing. To be prepared for whatever comes your way. To handle it gracefully or at least the best you can. To not cower which is hard for me. I’m brave with a pen but sometimes not always in real life! lol
        You have been my highlight for the past 3 years!
        And yes, the documentary from Taylor swifts last tour is very inspiring. I didn’t realize how massive her show was.
        I just remember how expensive the tickets were.
        I’ll only spend that much on a purse, maybe!

        Thanks for your awesomeness in 2025!
        MWA!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. An excellent write my friend. Merry Christmas to you and Mark, hope all is well with you both. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hi Damien!
        Thank you for your snaps amigo!
        2025 is right around the corner. I’ve had so many changes and transitions this year.
        All positive but I’m slow to embrace change. I’ll get there just don’t rush me. Hahaha

        Hope you had a Merry Christmas:)

    • Love this, great to see you writing Lady

      • Thanks Meme!

        I’m working on it. Just need to get in that writing zone. I know you understand. The need to feel that inspiration in order to pick up that pen! Sometimes it evades me.

        Now I gotta catch the last season of Stranger Things!
        Fixing to get on Netflix! Woop Woop! Hahaha

        Thanks for not being a stranger buddy!

    • The beginning of each new year is another reset of our aspirations. We have a chance to start anew with hopes for a better year, a more productive year as long as we persist in our endeavors. I hope yours is all that and more Adelly. Best wishes to you. 🙂

      • Hi Tim!
        Happy New Year amigo! Thank goodness for resets. I don’t know anyone who didn’t need one.
        Whether it is about losing weight or finding love or being prosperous.
        In some way we bargain with our future every new year.
        We make decisions with hope in mind. It’s very cosmic in some way.
        Hoping all our stars will align like paths.

        Best wishes to you too buddy!

    • This reads like a prayer and a dare at the same time. I love how 2026 is treated as a living witness—something you’re negotiating with, not wishing on. The imagery of ink, doors, courage, and the red carpet earned through work (not luck) feels honest and earned. There’s vulnerability here, but also resolve. It doesn’t beg the future—it challenges it.

      • I love this comment!
        Yes, I didn’t want this to come across like I was begging for a great year.
        We come across challenges every year. It’s inevitable. I want to go into the new year courageously, come what may.
        This year I think 2026 or every new year for that matter as a quest. A year long quest. It will either break me or make me stronger. I’m an optimist. So either way each year makes me grow:)

        Happy New Year!

    • You brought in the New Year with pizazz my friend. This was a great fiesta of a poem. One that made my heart dance like raindrops on a banana plant leaf. I could feel the exuberant hopes encapsulated in your poem.

      John

    • Hi John,

      I love the idea of a blank new year. Nothing has happened yet, but oh the possibilities it can bring:)
      Happy belated New Year my friend.

    • Brilliantly penned, Naaj. Excellent write my friend. Dig the layers in this one it’s a hard hitting powerhouse that’s spitting facts. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Oh, I am glad I discovered this (not for all, but for me) and I must ask you this: have you made any audios of your work? this is only the second one of your works I have read, and it begs the be heard. I must say I’m a bit prejudiced in that, being one who comes from that stable, but this really would be even more impressive aloud. Nice work, sir.

      • I haven’t done any audits yet but will be in the near future. Thx for the positive vibes, FD.

        Much respect

        Naaj

        • If you do, let me know; we have a Spoken Word category here now and a lot of us are building a library, of sorts, of diverse works. Check it out; there are some excellent pieces there.
