“I’ve never been valued for my sake, just used to satisfy your needs. It’s something you lacked in early years, something you’re desperate for, something you wanted as the means to fulfil desires, but did not have. When I came, you wasted me …coz it gave you a sense of power that You Can. It … Continue reading A letter from…

Skepticism ….. by Eugenia
garbage in and
garbage out
news, views and
who’s who
scribbles, scrawls and
artsy walls
guffaw guffaw
chaos, drama and
the me too’s
the hefty ante
sweetens the pot
living on the edge
safe or sorry
guffaw guffaw
life’s show and tell
makes one weary
isms here and isms there
phobias a la carte
Mother Earth tired of the world
tis time to edit eternity
guffaw guffaw

Fiery Females – Seen, but not HEARD I was attending a party hosted by the President of the company my husband worked in, for all newly married couples of the year. Conversation veered around to blood donations, and he mentioned that Blood Group O is the universal receiver. I gently corrected him to say that […]Seen, … Continue reading Seen, but not heard — SacredCircleforWomen
The structure of the township has changed. I hope to find an old soul with whom I can reconnect, but they’ve disappeared or changed. Then, I find some of them on social media. Facebook, WhatsApp help us reconnect. There’s a quaint group where everybody reminisces for sometime, and then conversations drop down to inane forwards … Continue reading Hometown
Night Searching …don’t miss this metaphorical brilliance by tiredhamster.
Walking into the dimly-lit narrow
paved within, a cliched thing
bumbles from its crumbling
dark then sways on the broken
walk before me.
Metaphors grope for coherence
among themselves, and words
are guttered with green and brown.
Abandoned phrases smile
with shadows surrounding.
Windows eye each step,
my mind moves beneath
these yellowed mouths of street lamps.
I let the air’s stagnant pulse pull me
again to the alleyway, puddled
with the spittle of cheap rhetoric.
There used to be
uniformed men here, maintaining
their beat, shooting the unmetered
children back into their unsaid dens.
Now creatures teeth the air.
I search the dumpsters and the pockets of peddlers
presenting their tired word choices and bad
enjambments. Why do I let myself
return to the rhythms of this road?
I’m finished with this night. I claw
through the unfinished songs dripping
from balconies, pockets full
of begging, and brush beyond

Insanity rumination …..by Artie & Stu
Not the first time I admit, ha-ha; I know if you don’t take the meds; staff’ll force you somehow; best to keep quiet; not draw attention; put them under your tongue and pretend swallow; if you object they’ll suspect; we’ll be out soon; or maybe they’ll make me stay; I could give them something to observe; no body belongs here, except maybe that guy; I could throw a chair through the window and run; but where to and who am I talking to inside my head, who is that?
Just keep it up …..by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’sExploration Challenge – 7/22/21 & Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Soaring
protestors up in arms fighting the good fight
light and air pollution
large garbage patches dotting our oceans
space debris circulating mother earth
astronauts soaring above looking down
witnessing it all, seeing clearly
most of the people residing here
lacking demonstrable empathy
the inhabitants shortsighting their future
i say let it burn
go further into destruction
finish the job
mother will heal when we are gone
Time changes everything …..by Jim Adams
A white rabbit checked his watch and then exclaimed that he was late and in ‘Late Lament’ by the Moody Blues, they talked about a “Cold-hearted orb that rules the night” and wondered “which is an illusion”. The rabbit is just silly, but drummer Graeme Edge makes us think that as time passes, what is actually going on. Time is grouped into periods of past, present and future, or yesterday, today and tomorrow, but what is time? Isaac Newton described it as absolute, but Einstein proved that time is relative, and, shockingly, that time and space are intricately interwoven. Recent work in string theory and quantum gravity suggests that space and time may not be fundamental. If we look at the stars, we are seeing the past and even when we see a flash of lighting at a short distance away, we are seeing something that happened a hundredth of…
