Premium MemberWings of the Withered Flame - inspired by Tears of the Dragon

Written: August 14, 2025 for contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori

          **********

The wind remembers what I tried to forget—  
a voice in the fire, a name in the rain.  
I stood on the edge of the world I had built,  
watching it crumble,

The longing of an eternal: Inspired from The Sandman by Neil Gaimon

As the dream king is sat at his throne...

What am I to do whilst I am away? What then would befall my kingdom? There is still so much to do but yet, I am administered so little time. I am here now but what should take priority? This throne alike every footstep of mine bears

Premium MemberWhat Shall We Do

Let each of us, from our heart,
     do what we are led to do.
If the intent is for the good of ourselves,
     others, or all of humanity,
it will be a good thing that each of us will do.

Premium MemberParanoid Inspired By Ozzy Tribute

I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.
With the first glance fate decided,
I walked in and was blindsided.
Crazy train of thoughts misguided
this love to me seemed so unreal.
I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.

Moonlight Sky

Moonlight sky-
Shimmering like pearls above high.
Below I stand,
Chasing the dreams that fly.

Stars may flicker-
Moon shines bright.
Soft winds rustle,
Past the lashes of my eye..

Whispering the tales,
That remain veiled.
The cosmos holds that embrace,
In which I find my solace..

Because I Would Not Stop for Death: A Homage to Emily Dickinson

after Because I could not stop for Death, by Emily Dickinson

Because I would not stop for Death,
he kindly stopped for me.
A wilted bouquet in one hand—
a reminder of life's mortality.

We began to walk—he knew no haste—
side by side, as we always were.
In silence, no sympathies were spoken,
as he knew I often preferred.

We passed the house

Premium MemberUsing AI in soup contests - Inspired by Unseeking Seeker’s and Tania's blogs

Your cheating ways, you've sunk so low,
to win contests - that isn't right.
You've used AI, few sponsors know
Your cheating ways

MY ideas form, it’s time to write,
(Unlike AI, my brain is slow)
When poem’s done, I feel delight!

But AI wins, it's quite a blow
It's unfair and I feel uptight
We're NOT blind sheep, I want to show
Your cheating

O it's only my precious Lord and Savior, who is really able,
To freely and fully deliver yours very truly,
From all of my habitual sins and all too persistent,
Inequities. O how far have I fallen from Your grace?

It's a miraculous miracle that you have not hidden
Your holy face far far far away from the likes of

What's the logic

Ladies worth are in the kitchen,
But this generation, Gen Z sold them out to men.

What's the logic?

Human can't live without food,
Yet ladies worth are now in men custody,
Because men in charge of the kitchen 

You may ask, why am I so proud?
It's because that's what I worked hard for.
I'm proud of my craft, my worth,

Inspired By A Good Hearted Citizen

I lost a bracelet
Returned to the place where I bought 
There I found it
Someone has tied it hanging
There a caption I read:
"Lost and found bracelet,
Claim with a receipt."
I gave the receipt and claim it again
I'm happy to see that there are still
People who have a heart of a good citizen.

Freedom

There are things I know that you will never be sure about. My life was easy, you have gone through more than me but I understand the world just the same. Every path I take I take with uncertainty and conditional faith, every path I avoid I avoid with thought and assuredness.

Premium Memberclouds, shakespeare inspired

clouds

appear as shapes

dragons sometimes

forks and trees

naming the unnamable 

a search for home

(Anthony and Cleopatra)



busyness

seeming much to do

and the rain

in opposition

(King John)



tears

and swollen rivers

dissolving

the boundaries 

separating home

(Richard II)



the weather

seems to facilitate

or oppose

bringing to stories

uninvited guests

(Love's Labor Lost)



youth

a scattering for

experiences away

while never departing

from home

(Taming of the Shrew)

Photography Inspired By You

My photography style is you:
I hear you. I see you.
You are beautiful.
Wish me luck
On my journey. 
And so it begin, 
With a camera, 
A little snap click
My interest begun, 
Every angle requires
Precision and appreciation
Ignites my interest
In photography, in beauty
In nature, then you of course.
