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.

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.

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

my response is :
when trying to describe
who I am and who I am not
the ink is limited.
there is no clarity
in the darkness
of the ink pot,
even as it empties.

My Response is:
Perhaps the world has forgotten
the simple pleasures of laying back
watching dragons in flight.
children still dream of them,
so easily as if the dragons
are solid and real...
so why have adults forgotten?

my response is ( though late still )
according to the constitution
the definition of citizenship
is either one born on this soil
or one that follows the rules
and takes the tests to gain
the green card to become one.
if you stop them from getting the tests
you stop the legal process for citizenship ...
this country was founded on immigrants
the idea of immigration. the only non-immigrants were born here.
and even those were often
children of immigrants.

my response is :
a house with no foundation
falls in so quickly...
so too does the soul
without ego fail.
We need to build
a foundation,
stable and true...
so that with time
we know the ability
to face the truth.

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.
