A Plethora of Propitious Pleasantries
Shipmates on a sea of creativity, Plying waters of the great unknown, Transcribe all their treasures oh, so carefully, Leaving bits of blood and sweat and bone. Other souls aboard savor oblations Of their fellow travelers therein Leaving, in return, congratulations, Encouraging the writer's light within. This sustenance provides our daily portion Of fuel for the fires that burn inside And we, in turn, continue to apportion A share to those who've joined us on the ride. We feed on what we read upon the pages Created by our fellow bards and sages.

As I Sip My Vodka. Top Story - August 2026.
As I sip my vodka and watch you tease open your mouth and slip your tongue so effortlessly down against your bottom lip, wetting the ripe painted surface. Is it scarlet or crimson or maybe even rouge? And as you put your fingers down delicately against your tongue and smear them with something delectable, is it sweet or savoury or a little both?
