My Response Is:
Here I sit for all to hear
Singing my history,
In hopes that I am not the only one
that learns lessons from it.
for forgotten history is repeated,
and repeated history is nothing but tears.
So, I will sing it as loudly as my voice allows.
I will sing it as often as I may...
And I will hope that I am strong enough
to keep the memories alive
and history at bay.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 28
my response is :
childhood moments,
so easily forgotten,
skipping river rocks
just for the fun.
making popcorn chains
to throw about recklessly,
hoarding laughter like
the treasure it is.

once upon a time
people believed
that the divine

the name of God
for so many.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 26
my response is :
today my brain is so foggy
that I feel as if I am playing
solitaire with a deck of 28 cards....
I have forgotten all I need to know
I want to remember,
I really do,
but in the moment
all I find is myself confused..

small doses of kindness

the world there is love
still in your heart .

treated.

to live.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 24
My response is :
faeries are born
from the laughter
of newborn babies,
or so we are told.
but I believe that
Banshee are made
from forgotten hugs
when loved ones pass.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 23
My response is :
when I thought
I had forgotten
how to fly,
and it hurt so much
all I could do is cry...
when I realized the wing
was broken and laying loosely
I determined that i must
fly anyways.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 22
my response is :
memories from long forgotten places,
I find myself watching it from a distance
as though I am stuck in a repetitive
dream without any way out.
drifting into something resembling
an active dream of poetry
and possibility
