2026 PAD Challenge Day 11

2026 PAD Challenge Day 11

my response is:

perhaps it is the universe's joke
played on my life that I keep ending up 
walking down the roads to nowhere.

I end up finding a way to somewhere 
but not in the normal ways.
I have no tether to the right road 
and truthfully I don't know if I want one,
for I have learned more from being lost 
than I ever could if I followed some plan.

I will gladly walk those roads to nowhere 
and find myself lost and learning 
than to follow the plan and be 
                               miserable.

BTW I posted a poem a couple of days ago and I said I was not sure if it belonged in kissed by Verse. I think it does not. I am going to open a new volume for it and this one…

my response is:

Keep using your artificial intelligence,
Though you know the consequences...
and when we live in a world without water 
what will you do then?

The art and words you seek 
can easily be gained from 
a human being with no effects 
to the environment,
but you don't seem to understand.

my response:

Let us live together
as shadow people,
outside of society 
outside of the binary 
outside of the world 
              in its current state.

it was tried in the sixties 
as communes but again
did human nature invade.

I do not want to be human 
I do not want to be afraid
I just want to exist in my life 
im my own way.

Here’s My response:

I see the rage monster 
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster
as you see it 
is not but an injured animal within.

Injured animals strike
at anything within reach.
And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...

*note Right now this is sitting in the Kissed by Verse volume. I am not positive it fits the theme but I am also unsure it does not. My mind may change before publication of that volume.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 7

my response is:

under the midnight sky
tis easy to feel the hand 
              of the goddess 

to receive moonlight blessings 
and dance in the glory of the divine.

when the rest of the world sleeps 
tis easy to feel the joy of nature 
and revel in the beauty the gods 
                     blessed upon us.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 6

okay I set up the prompts and I already did this one once because it was stuck in my head but I really am trying to do the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts so …

my response is :

daisy chains 
tied us together
in flowers and paper

childhood memories 
tree trimmings 
and moments in the world 

each one precious 
each one unique 
a chance to be 
young eternally

2026 PAD Challenge Day 5

my response is:

all knowledge began
with the blank page,
a pen at the ready,
and oral tradition
ready to be written down.

without the blank page
the oral tradition dies
when the last storyteller
died without passing it on.

how much knowledge was forgotten
for the want of ink and paper,
or because the book was then burned?

Serena’s response is:

Dripping ink pours
from every pore 

as if it were my 
lifeblood leaking 

I need to write to survive 
and still it drips freely 
as if I am unable to use it 
fast enough

2026 PAD Challenge

here is my response:

the child flies
on dreams given
lifted by faery wings
and soaring on
the breath of the gods.

For what else could they do
to weave dreams into
some form of reality.

faery wings and dreams
lifted by the breath of the gods
to be eternal and alift.
