Projection
Projection is a far more common phenomenon than I ever thought of. Arrogance never admits folly. Their acts are just a faux pas, always meant to disappear in flames, labeled as a foul mood. But the core evil of intent is passed on to someone else as final judgment, transposed on another to provide relief … Continue reading Projection

a unique take by … The Bag Lady
to see me hiding
disguised among the patchwork
distracting colors—
patterns and shapes diverting
am I safely clandestine?

For My Benefit
For my benefit ….. by Ken
For My Benefit
Would I be that person again?
Am I not, still?
You speak, perhaps to me.
I am here, yet I was there,
then. But this is now.
Separation. Time.
Analog or digital, there is familiarity
in all you say, all you do.
The fourth wall cannot prevent
memories from surfacing
as I watch them unfold before me.
Starting this weekend, I’ll be away for a couple of weeks, traveling. My writing in the past week has been limited by a particular preparation for the trip. I have more than 50 hours of home videos on VHS tape, some from as far back as 1990, that I am converting to digital. I hope to share some of that with my children when I see them at a family gathering that will be a part of this trip.
Hopefully, 3,00 miles behind the wheel will provide some inspiration.

IT’S HIM AGAIN !

When I was 4, I stayed awake to see the Santa Claus. I tried hard not to fall asleep. Cuz, I don’t wanna miss the chance again, just like the previous Christmas. So I waited patiently on one of the beds in the orphanage, holding my parent’s torn wedding photo.
I was freezing. I covered myself with an old blanket and waited for Santa’s arrival.
Windows were covered with foggy mist and snow. I saw a vague image of someone. Soon a shining beam entered into my dorm through my window. Will you believe me if I tell you that it was the Santa Claus, passing by, with a new blanket, jacket and socks for me, just like I wished ?(Actually it wasn’t my first wish. At first, I wished for his help to find the other piece of my parent’s wedding photo. So…

Who Am I?
Who am I? ….by Ami Offenbacher-Ferris
by Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris
In response to RXC PROMPT #244, hosted by Renee
I am love
I am rage
I am compassionate
I am merciless
Aid the young
Assist the old
Coddle the injured
Oppose the aggressor
I am weak
I am firm
Use my voice
Fight right and wrongs
Shy to speak
Bold when needed
Introvert to most
Extrovert to others
Mother
Lover
Enemy
Friend
Strong as an arrow
Quick to bend
Patient and kind
Relentless and cruel
Never just one
Always each one
Much more to decipher
Who am I to you?
