Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
The Book That Changed Everything
The Story In the heart of a busy city, life moved quickly. People rushed to work, buses honked, and the streets buzzed with noise. Among the crowd, an old, dusty book lay abandoned on the sidewalk. Its pages were slightly torn, the cover was dirty, and no one seemed to notice it. For days, it sat there as hundreds of feet walked past it. No one cared.

When They Come with a Knife: Will You Yield or Stand Your Ground?
When someone comes to hurt you with a knife, they'll only bring one. Giving in and showing forbearance will only bring you more harm. When you've accumulated enough disappointment, you'll no longer have hope.

A Romantic Vision
Most people see colors. Iris Everly saw music. Every step she took hummed a note. Every face carried a chord. The sky at dusk? A soft jazz solo in lavender. It wasn’t madness—though many thought so—it was Synaesthetic Romanticism, a condition so rare it didn’t even have a proper name. Iris called it her "romantic vision."

Earth 19: The One That Burned the Bill. Content Warning.
This is my response to the big ugly bill. Millions of Americans will lose everything. I sang the blues today. I am disabled, old, and health issues. Yes, I will lose everything if something is not done to stop the Nazis and the Rumpty Dumpty crime syndicate.
