2026 PAD Challenge Day 12

my response is :

the treasure I buried,
in the time capsule
wasn't something anyone
else wanted to add.

others added pictures
and bits of themselves,
I added words bound bright.

For when the capsule is dug up
and all of the treasure is found,
I want to speak to the future of
knowledge forgotten and thoughts
profound.

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.
