2026 PAD Challenge Day 16
Serena’s response:
in the twilight
of the cemetery
bleeding blooms
give relief to the chaos
of the grieving souls.
Though the bleeding
is but illusionary,
it adds to the feeling
of the graveyard at night.

my response is:
our forefathers set up hope
in a nation so young...
it was supposed to be freedom
for all and welcoming arms
for those who need sanctuary.
the new government are pirates
stealing the dream.
piracy of hope seems to be
unbelievable and profane...
for the reality of this country
is nowhere near what everyone
believed it would be.

my response is :
you were always there
when I awoke after
dreaming violence.
A soft safe space
to wrap around me
when I shake from
remembered violence.
I wrap myself in your love
knowing that I am done
with violence and am safe.
Lyrics –
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
You! (if you don’t eat yer meat)
Yes, you behind the bike stands (you can’t have any pudding)
(How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?) Stand still, laddy!
You! Yes, you behind the bike stands…
My 2 cents –
okay this song has a story. I started 9th grade 6 weeks late due to childbirth. my best friend at the time (who was dating ny step brother) decided that my first day of school hadd to be special. She brought a big boombox to school and as I got off the bus blasted this song so loud the cafeteria windows shook. it was incredible and memorable.

my response is:
her movements were
hypnotic
using only her hips she
spoke volumes.
they call it belly dancing
but she made it hypnosis,
calling me to her,
creating a desire,
that felt so forbidden.
I wanted to watch her move
until the whole world ended.

my response is :
the treasure I buried,
in the time capsule
wasn't something anyone
else wanted to add.
others added pictures
and bits of themselves,
I added words bound bright.
For when the capsule is dug up
and all of the treasure is found,
I want to speak to the future of
knowledge forgotten and thoughts
profound.
Sessions with a Demon by Finn O’Malley
Are you ready for your first session of therapy?
Everyone’s got issues, even demons.
When Ren, a Synergy demon, begins showing favor towards his human assignments, it raises alarm among his superiors. His punishment is one he never anticipated: Weekly sessions with famed demon therapist Dr. Lilith Madson.
A moral debacle ensues when an intriguing human recognizing his invisible presence on the streets and forces him to realize Lilith may have a wicked agenda of her own. Whose side will he take? The human with the all-consuming need for revenge or the delusional therapist determined to wreak havoc?
My Thoughts
Okay I shared the announcement of the sequel last week. so I thought it was a good time to review it on my own personal page. This book is a well written roller-coaster. the characters are strong and the plot is sound. by the end you are simply wishing for more – and more os about to be released.
