Back in the USSR
June 21, 2025 For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina The old iron curtain came down But soon a clown reclaimed the crown Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose Now a foul Soviet wind blows From the east it battered Ukraine Spreading such cruel and endless pain The past returns in blackened char “Back in the U.S.S.R.” ...

The Bet
Me and my god, we made a bet and if I was right he’d clear me of debt That pain was in-fact inherent to men That hell was a place before their was sin I spoke of war, what man’s will had brought to Eden and Rome, the battles they fought How freedom was gained when kindness was...

Premium Member Lord of the Western Sea
Christian daimyo, Yukinaga Konishi Born a merchant, became Commander of the Sea Granted favour by God and man Defended faith throughout the land The youth once granted his father's name An appellation that promised a life of pain Graven in paradoxical parts Warrior with a gentle heart Serving those who met cruelty with acclaim Defeat in war cost him his head But faith he held...

Premium Member Cloud Watching
When I was younger, I thought that in retirement I would take pictures of or paint beautiful clouds situated so vividly above us. Clouds more often appear as wonderous displays in the canopy. Clouds sometime seems so ominous and threatening. Clouds often hover above us like a band of darkness and at other times, they are white and crystal...
