fact or fiction

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.

Incredibly invasive invisibility
dig deeper inside the box, the show, The Bear, has completely shot my nervous system with a barrage of garbled energy and fury, the emotional carnage of this crash keeps me feeling like I’m invisible

Is Life a Journey of Subtraction or Expansion?
Life is a process of subtraction, urging us to seize every moment. Don't wait, and don't accumulate regrets. It's not that young hearts can't retain their youthful spirit, but rather that the passage of years can evoke a sense of panic.

POEM - The Weight Of Splendor
Beneath the sky of burning gold, Where dawn unwraps its hues untold, I walked alone through morning's fire, With heart both heavy and desire.

WE ARE NOT ANTS. Content Warning.
This was written today out of my despair that millions of vulnerable populations are on the brink of losing everything because of bullies in the Whitehouse and the ultra-wealthy will have it all as they steal from the coffers of the poor to feed the one percent billionaire bullies of crime, corruption, psychopaths, narcissists, racists, and who laugh at the poor, dying, and their bizarre hatred of us to squash us like ants. I had to write this.

Love in the Rain. AI-Generated.
Love in the Rain Once we met cloud kiss the sky, Raindrops falling, you and I. Without umbrella, only your hand, Going slowly to close, like fate had planned.

Is This the Secret of Life?
Others may leave, but you will always remain. Therefore, eat a good breakfast every day, keep flowers in your room, and occasionally buy yourself gifts. That's the secret of life. What brings peace to your life is what you want and what truly belongs to you. It doesn't have to be much, but it must be good.

For Those Who Fell Before the Flag Was Raised
For Those Who Fell Before the Flag Was Raised Not for glory not for gold but for something soft and loud at once a quiet wish carried in calloused hands
