SCATTERED WORDS

Please check out this super patient blogger, Tony Roberts, who does indeed have a way with words. Written by Tony Roberts and Hastywords I keep tripping over words Scattered upon the floor Words left screaming As you walked out the door You kept on walking. Walking. I was left with a mess of scattered words.…

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

Today I would like to say thank you to everyone I have written with over the years. I smiled because I get to say “years.” Seriously though, the duets I have done have paved the way to a few really great friendships. I started doing duets a few YEARS ago when a blogger and I…

THIS TIME I COULD

When I began blogging a few years ago I believed it would be a solitary journey.  I believed I would type some words on a screen, hit publish, and maybe feel content knowing the words might land someplace they were wanted and/or needed.  I never really expected that I would end up having conversations with…

A WEE CHICKADEE

I asked Kimmie nearly a month ago to write for me and she asked if February 18th was still available. I only found out yesterday that February 18th is the anniversary of her mother’s death. I am so profoundly honored to have been given the opportunity to share her voice on this day. I admire…

HE WOULDN’T ACCEPT MY COMPASSION

Today I am truly excited and most honored to host my favorite poetess Nicole Marie from Words and Other Things. Today’s compassion story is honest, raw, emotional, and I should warn you a box of tissues might be handy to have.  This post is sure to touch everyone’s heart.   HE WOULDN’T ACCEPT MY COMPASSION…

THE SPACES BETWEEN

Troy Scott has been spending a lot of time “thinking about the implications and applications of shared perception enhancement”.  It would be so much easier to have compassion, or empathy, or even sympathy for someone if you could indeed see something from another person’s perspective. I don’t think I have ever debuted a short fiction…

THE KITTEN OF COMPASSION

David Ellis and I have written a few duets together Destination Destiny   Seductive Nature    Perfect Imperfections   Seafaring Scallywags and Equestrian Maidens .  Not only is he a master with words he is way smarter than I am (and that isn’t me slamming myself…he is just that smart).  He is often the first one I notice…
