Hauntingly penned, Tim. Logic over valor my friend. Excellent write you’re a great storyteller. Appreciate you.

This is good and had me laughing with the pedal to the metal.

Tim, this took me into the haunted rooms of that house and feeling the disquieted vibes as I read. Truly a master work of short story telling. Your descriptions of the broken window and dusty curtains made the scene come alive for me in full visual effect. As the story unfolded I enjoyed the narration and how it pulled me into the story. Truly great ghost story telling that had me fascinated unto that great ending where the message appears on his phone.

Are we headed towards this? Thought provoking piece

It feels like it’s already started.
Middle ground is a must in order to coexist.

If I go, I hope it’s fast. So fast I don’t know what happened.

I do kinda believe we are headed somewhere towards this..there is no compromise and many ppl are dug deep in the thought their side is right and the other side is extreme..and we need middle ground..its the foundation of growth and hope..but i feel like our political leaders force us to choose and its a no win choice..we will see what happens..thank you all for commenting and for reading

You would think we would cherish it and realize we are all 1 and the same..instead we have been programmed to be fueled by hate and greed..we are a consumption society and we want everything for ourselves instead of sharing..we have lost our way..the sad part there are still many good people with good hearts that are caught in the cross fire of the political spectrum..anyways thank you for reading and commenting..I appreciate it

To my great regret, I think this could happen. The people may want peace, but the leaders want power and wealth. I hope good will triumph in the end, but I am quite a dreamer.

You have a spooktacular day as well

Thanks for you efforts dear. 🤎

I love this place. So many sweet and fabulously talented folk!

Thanks for the update, Fia. Thank you for all that you do my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

Damian

Thanks for including me in the loop too Fia .. and for the amount of work that you do on our behalf behind the screens .. Neville 😎🌻

You are doing a great job Fia. We know that you have other things to tend to as well, so taking the time to run things here is appreciated.

Corruption and ignorance go hand in hand. Yes, I whole heartedly agree with you. We must see the truth and act on it. Powerful write.

As if you read my mind and what I was thinking as as articulate. 🙂
I almost got ht by one of those flagy pickups yesterday. 💚

hello beautiful Willow powerful write the darkness threatens to swallow me whole I feel you ❤️

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! This is’t a write it’s a statement my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

Damian

WHOA!!! Some truth telling going on here. It didn’t fall on deaf ears, cause I be listening. America has always been 2 countries within one country. Today’s fascists were yesterday’s slave owners and slave bounty hunters. Thank goodness there are still wide awake decent people who in their millions took to the streets a few days ago. And even better, there is, beginning Nov 5, the determined, nonviolent, movement to oust these MAGA maggots’ regime.

Yes, it is often true in history that people were warned but didn’t listen, sometimes people just need to have a fire lit under their arses, before they can see straight. I think we poets have a role to play in this eye opening!! Your poem Willow is a welcomed salvo (or perhaps to be consistent with the metaphor), a welcomed match for that fire.

Thanks for the much need poem Willow.

damn good write.

Raw and unflinching. You’ve caught the weight of complicity and the ache of resistance in a way that feels both urgent and true. An incredible read!

Okay, now I know. You not only know how to write beautiful, powerful words , you also know how to deliver them. I certainly want to speak to you, Willow. Please visit with me.

Who made you promise not to cuss? In the immortal words of my old coworker…”fuck that!” I hear what you’re saying. And not saying. Thank you, girl

whooee, thanks 🙂

Superb work.

This is moving and being human is not an easy existence at all

Beautifully expressed. It’s just what I needed to see before I signed off. It is so relaxing and sets the reader in a calm sense of being.
Awesome.
