Mick's Cog
Introduction This is Mick's Facebook page I saw the big cog that his wife got him for his birthday and thought maybe it deserved a poem. The metal cogs, gears, and chains that are part of Mick's art and exhibitions depend on repetition so I think the correct format for this is a villanelle, and though it's nothing to do with mechanics I thought "Big Wedge" by Fish was an appropriate tune to accompany this.

The Waiting (Is The Hardest Part)
Introduction This is for this challenge which you are welcome to enter here I am not sure which community this will drop into. We have Micro Fiction in Vocal but no Micro Truth and this is going to contain a lot of non-fiction items so it won't be in Fiction.

Is Reciprocity Cyclical?Top Story - January 2024
Introduction I was going to ditch this as it might just seem like me whining about losing readers, one of the reasons for this was me walking out of a group after being pilloried by one of the members for "not sticking to the rules" and "self-promotion" because I shared Vocal stories there.

Aspirations As A Vocal Creator For 2024
The Prompt Write about your aspirations for yourself as a creator on Vocal in 2024. Introduction I misunderstood the scope of this challenge. I thought it was about what to expect from Vocal in 2024, but it is not, it is about what I expect to do on Vocal in 2024.

The Resources That Vocal Couldn't Be Bothered With
Introduction About four months back Vocal proposed that we should submit Creators' resources. I thought what a brilliant idea and submitted about a dozen ideas. I didn't expect them all to be taken up and would have been fine with a rejection, or a chat about my ideas, but there was nothing.
