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…

Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I feel like though I am exhausted and still fighting with bronchitis (Joe’s been giving me nyquil so I can sleep)  I have done fairly well with my poetry this week. I got a little bit of words to the current works in progress.

I have been able to keep up with the Fae Corps Publishing PAD Challenge so far. I have looked daily at the writer’s digest prompts and found that none of them work for me this time. I usually do their pad. as long as I am writing I don’t care where the prompt is coming from.

Tuesday Tunes will be up this week, I know that I have been hit or miss where that is concerned.

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.

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
