2026 PAD Challenge Day 26

2026 PAD Challenge Day 26

my response is :

today my brain is so foggy
that I feel as if I am playing 
solitaire with a deck of 28 cards....
I have forgotten all I need to know

I want to remember,
I really do,
but in the moment 
all I find is myself confused..

my response is :

small doses of kindness
is simply a way to show 
the world there is love 
still in your heart .

treat others as you 
would want to be 
treated.

that is the best
way for anyone
to live.

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.

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.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 18

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.
