Premium Member Giddy Guitar


Eight straight days of sub-freezing temps,
wind-chill factor, sub-zero,
sheets of black ice, great mounds of snow,
lengthy power outages---
power’s on, roads are passable
bringing loud hallelujah’s!

Witches Brew

Buzzing, hissing, static.
Crunching up lightning under my toes.
Witches brew lit up.
Tattered.
Old rugs used up in crime scenes.
Police lights. 
Power’s out, silly.
I have this illness.
Gave me senses.
Buzzing, hissing, static.
I have an illness made up of witches brew and power outages.

Let's go back

Let’s go back to that.

Telling stories,
teaching each other
how to play a guitar,
showing tricks
and playing games.

Sleepovers,
makeovers,
dancing and baking.
Building forts,
picking flowers.

Having power outages 
and bringing out candles.
Using flashlights just for fun.

Let's go back to that.
To taking time.

Curiosity SK

A poetry contest! With multiple prompts
Now here’s our big chance to shine
What new delights will our poets write?
I wonder, will they outrank mine?

Themes include: letters, fast food, 
coming home, shelter, sleepless nights
crumbling, curiosity, power outages too
So much potential! So much we could write!

I’m filled with -curiosity-
about what splendid new poems this’ll birth
I’ll submit mine, with a wink and a rhyme
and a cheeky hope it might come first

Premium Member Seasons of '26



The winter of '26 brought us ice but no snow.
For a while, it brought us outages and a little wow.

This spring is bringing lots of rain to help crops grow.
So far, in the month of May, no tornado has come our way.

There's no doubt that every season must have its say.
I pray for everyone that God's protection will always stay.

I pray that Summer will be nice with just a bit of grey.
And that Fall '26 will be more gentle than the month of May.
