“compelled as ever”

I have a few problems with which I grapple
I now have another, thanks to Apple
Rarely exercise, should kick it up a notch
My wife agrees, bought me a new Apple Watch
She says that I do too much talking
I should shut up and... [read more] |
Teytonon posted a new Poem titled Appropriate name, don’t you think? 8 weeks ago
Donald Trump, you tell lies
That we know, it's no surprise
Can you leave? Would be good
We're all thinking that you should
Sick of it, you're a mess
A big, steaming POS
You insult, you defame
Should be called by a new... [read more] |

Senlac Hill, 1066 C.E.
The year shifts its weight.
A shoreline tightens around the morning,
and three ships press their ribs
against a wind unsure of its loyalties.
Steel is only steel
until someone turns it toward a purpose.... [read more] |

Savvart posted a new Poem titled A Threshold Called 2026 8 weeks ago
The year exhales.
Soft as a tide withdrawing its long breath,
it leaves its salt on our skin,
the ache, the grace, the lessons that still glow
like embers cupped in midnight hands.
We stand between the clocks,
one foot in what has been,

Whose subjects thought he was too fat
Pat said 'On my throne they see I'm sinking
I know what they're thinking
They want a thin King? I'm not that!'
Mike was a King who loved hiking
Had a crush on... [read more] |

When a family member is lost,
Especially when they leave by choice,
Their absence turns the heart to frost.
Abandonment is worse than death,
Because it means they no longer care,
Turning their back on those that... [read more] |

Trapped in a small town,
A woman of young age,
Dreaming of something bigger,
Beyond her rural cage.
In the local diner she waits,
Wishing for something more,
Her mind drifting elsewhere,
Wanting to spread her wings and soar.
She... [read more] |
