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.

So you found a new book?
Or maybe you just published one?
Did you find a new webcomic that you like?
A new book you have coming soon ?
A piece of Art that you just finished ?
Or a song you think everyone should hear?
No need for explanation…Just Share it.
You find a good deal that you think we should all see? Just share!
Or hey even a joke you think too fun not to share, Just share it.
Post links in the comments.
Occasionally I will too.

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



2026 PAD Challenge Day 21
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.

Lyrics –
If God had long hair
And a goatee,
And if his eyes looked pretty glazed…
If He looked spaced out
Would you buy his story?
Would you believe he
had an eye infection?
And yeah, yeah, God looks baked
Yeah, yeah, God smells good,
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah…
What if God smoked cannabis?
Hit the bong like some of us?
Drove a tie-dyed microbus,
And he subscribed to Rolling Stone?
When God made this place,
In the beginning,
Did He plant any seeds?
Or did he put them
there for Adam and Eve,
So they’d be hungry for
the apple that the snake
Was always offering?
And yeah, yeah… God rolls great,
Yeah, yeah, God smells good,
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah…
What if God smoked cannabis?
Do you suppose he had a buzz
When he made the platypus
When he created earth, our home?
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones?
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne?
And when the saints go marching home,
Does he just sits and smokes a bowl?
My 2 cents –
okay I was absolutely shocked to find out that this was done by the cranberries. it was originally a bob rivers song and joan Osborne made it a hit.
Okay, I am the original wallflower…but I signed up for an online poetry reading. I don’t step out of my comfort zone often but there is supposed to be other poets reading….the event listing on Facebook is here.
