Intergalactic Island
A poem that floats nowhere but here
Enter this galaxy
On a driftwood piece of magic
Holding on to everything that you are
Hope to be
Was
But now
You glide through endless stars
No shame scratching at skin
You are endless magic
Where earth is the seed in your existence
What gives you birth, love, life
As the waters wash over you
Nurturing your essence and humanity
Everything gives us so much care
Decide that you will return it
Because what is this world without a care taker
Flying on a piece of driftwood
Dreaming through this magical galaxy
An island in your mind of your own making
~
A bit of a chaotic poem today, but also what a wonderful ride through chaotic poetry. Sometimes we just need to let go of what's holding us down here on earth and just sail into the stars. Imagine.
Tell me about your chaotic dreams and what gives your life magic.

My Hallways Sing Sorrows
Hairs rise, light quivers The floorboards creak, hallways howl Each step brings shivers ~ This haunted haiku is brought to you by Vocal + Assist's weekly spooky month challenges! We wanted to do something simple yet engaging to spark some creative thinking. This past week's key word was: shivers.

The Melody That Healed
The voice, belonging to Jamie, was a revelation. It wasn't just the melodic beauty or the perfect pitch that captivated Alex; it was the raw emotion, the palpable heartache, and the fleeting moments of joy that echoed in every note. Jamie's songs, each a narrative of life's trials and triumphs, resonated with Alex on a profound level. The melodies seeped into Alex's soul, awakening a long-dormant yearning for connection, for understanding, for love.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

I loved your chaotic poem! It was so beautiful and liberating! My chaotic dreams are well, chaotic. What gives my life magic? The ability create characters based of real life people and kill them off in my stories or poems! 🤣🤣🤣
Fabulous!!! Loved this!!!💕❤️❤️
