Be strong without falling into cruelty 

Be who you want to be without crafting a false identity 
Be someone worth knowing...

You’re crafting memories
As I speak
Filing them back there
In a special spot, I hope
Can’t slip anything by you
And I wouldn’t want to...

Excel 
in your crafting, 
in gratitude and courage
I see a bleeding point there, 
it is hurting inside. Do not annihilate, 
do not deny. It is us in great strength, foe and friend together....

Bound within hero norms
pilfered from the pulpit,
games twist tailored tempests
crafting men as monsters

with derision conquered
by illumined command:
complicity in stabs
while changing the channel....

One day we will live together
In a spaceship
Traveling dimensions
Through the floating starwaves
Emerging on a landscape uncertain
But more familiar than ever

Crafting a sonorous soundstation
To alert travelers
Love as flesh resilience
Beckons gravity to its source forever...

A poem where each line starts with care,
Crafting words with purpose, rare.
Revealing truths or hidden lore,
On every line, there's something more.
Stories told with letters bold,
Tangled thoughts in form unfold.
In every phrase, a secret's found,
Carefully woven, letter-bound....

Joyce 

Joyce is an adventurer.
One of her favorite pastimes is exploring nature.
Yet she still finds time to do some crafting, too.
Cooking is another of her joys.
Every Friday she helps a sick friend with her store.
