Premium Member Phone habits kill
She looked pretty at the Zebra crossing, weaving slowly, her shampooed hair tossing, cars stopped still, to allow her go across, who wouldn’t stop to let a beauty pass! She looked neither to her left nor her right, body cutting out shape in pants bit tight, eyes fixed on the messages on her phone, tripping when side stepping a traffic cone. She continued...

My Granddaughter’s Words ***
Achoo! Sneeze! I sat up on my knees, I glare into the darkness, while Claire makes a cup of tea, Oh please give me some peas, I cried as I sighed, They took away all of my food and my mood dropped, They even took away my shoes, but they can’t take away you, but they do! I screamed in...

Premium Member Saladin's Head
Under the solar system in our basement I sat, copying schematics of superheterodyne radios from a book on electronics, while my dad, across from me, stood at his drawing board illustrating advertisements for feed and farm equipment. The floor was painted blood red, the walls bandage white— a battlefield made tidy. The dehumidifier murmured its hymn beneath Saladin’s ceramic gaze, his turbaned brow inscrutable as my father bent to...

My Thoughts
My mind is locked, I feel so low Drowning deep, don't know where to go I search for keys to unlock my brain But thoughts are stuck, driving me insane I wish I could break free from pain But darkness grips, refuses to wane Suicide's not the answer, I know My mind's a mess, feeling lost and slow I see the key, but...

Premium Member Toms Fiddle
Tom was not appreciated most of his life; neither was his fiddle. He insisted on having it buried with him, a pillow in the middle. At three a.m. the witching hour, he creates music for the others. The lonely, the forgotten, the sad, the depressed, and the angry mothers. They gather at their gravestones, appreciating the concert of Tom. Last...
