Potent Popping Photographs
The clock, a relentless heartbeat, ticks forward, each beat a thief, stealing moments, once vibrant, now fading hues in the attic of my mind. Sunlight through a dusty windowpane, illuminates a forgotten photograph. A younger me, laughing, unburdened by the weight of years unspooled. The scent of rain on dry earth, a phantom limb of a summer long gone, a melody hummed on a porch swing, a whisper in the rustling...

Popping Olives
He plucks a pear from the tree and tosses it my way. Hands fumble, but nails sink into flesh to maintain a solid grip. He doesn't see me slip. Examine the freshness of the fruit before sinking teeth through skin. Open the lid. A woven picnic basket with delights inside. Turkey and tomato sandwiches, crusts...

Premium Member Rate the Battle
*** RATE THE BATTLE *** Rate your pain, they always want to know, On a scale of one (least) to ten (worst — “like hell,” they say), Although, I think, that should be reversed, because at One, first, this pain is anguishing; wanting to be foremost; Rooted under everything. I see a numbered One level pain as insipid, blocking...

Popping-glad roses, lipstick red, watered in crystal vase, small as the ledge of a pond. pondering those blossoms, yet to be lit, with their potential flames. ruffled scent of glory in their short-lived story. three will croon, late-bloomers - still...

Premium Member Pufferfish Popping
A pufferfish is soft, roundish-sluggish. Some even say slightly clownish. Seemingly an easy target... But when provoked it puffs up and flashes a set of sharp spines.

If you hadn't noticed pufferfish are popping up...
