A TANGLE OF NIMBUS EMOTIONS

The day before Valentine’s Day Christopher and Benjamin started this poem.  Each new person added a few lines until a complete poem was created.  I love it and I hope you do too.  I am glad I got to participate and I am sorry it took me so long to post. 🙂 A Tangle of…

EXPLORING FREEDOM

  Written by Ras Munroe and Hastywords The land should be familiar but it is never the same. It is a foreign substance beneath my callused feet. It is a strange feeling seeking acceptance labelled outcast. Alone yet surrounded by people this is but an empty existence. The turmoil runs deep like pulsing veins of…

THANK YOU FOR THE DUETS

Written by JStewart413 and HastyWords   At times I can’t tell If I’m walking Upside down As I drown In seas Of evergreens My hair Rooted to the ground And my feet Lost in the clouds It’s all so Very mixed up Confusing As I watch The stars Sparkle To the beating Of my heart…

UNCIVILIZED

WRITTEN BY ST MARY AND HASTYWORDS Thrown into a role for survival This couldn’t be further from me It killed my art and my pride Is it any wonder I’m always anesthetized? The days don’t belong to me And my dreams, well… They are stored inside drawers of metal Inside folders filed and alphabetized Killing…

CREATING STRONG KNOTS

Written by Charles “Gray Poet” Townsend  and Hastywords   I sat in the middle of the trees A circle laid out in front of me A noose of sorts, fibers strong Tied perfect like he taught me Why he taught me, I know not But it calls out to me its allure Will he approve…
