📢 Raise Your Voice Thread: 7/20/23

Hello there vocalists! Gerard DiLeo, placer in several challenges, very gifted and creative writer has been doing some excellent work lately that hasn't been getting nearly enough attention. I especially like the eerie and hypnotic: https://vocal.media/poets/the-lure-of-the-panflute, and the recently published https://vocal.media/poets/conniptions Truly deserves a look!

Beautiful

I love this blog

Hello, my name is Harbor! I visit multiple genres, but I do my best work under the banners of poetry and horror. I wanted to highlight this poem by Leslie Writes because of its strong imagery and concise narrative: https://vocal.media/poets/banished-ns1000dgp

hello everyone, I am a newbie member from India. would appreciate if you kindly read this sad poem about violation of human rights and communal violence in my neigbouring state of Manipur. https://vocal.media/poets/where-can-i-find-love it is a tragedy that is overlooked.

Horrendously late this week, please forgive me! I would however very much like to speak of Chelas Montanye, who's primarily a poet and article-writer on psychology but has also published one or two stand-out works of fiction. Chelas and I came to know each other after the former was good enough to take note of my work, which led me to the story below in turn. So have yourself a look, and I hope you're as impressed by its haunting eerie qualities and unexpected twists and turns as I was. You'll note from my comments that I was saying "Bergman," and I think you will be too! https://vocal.media/fiction/in-the-way-of-life

Hey bestie Click on it

https://vocal.media/journal/exploring-the-10-types-of-jinn-as-described-in-islamic-belief.Hi, Hello to all vocals members, I'm Cathy Maulion, I don't have a post here but I love to read here on vocals, And I read something from one of the writers here and for me the stories, poems, and articles she has done are also good. Thank you very much to all of you Vocals creators, I hope you will notice his writings...❤️❤️❤️❤️

My psyuedonym is ROCK. It comes from my developing my inner strength after an unhealthy and traumatic relationship with someone I love. I write fiction, poetry, prose, non-fiction and children's stories. I love a good sense of humor and blatant honesty. I recommend Poppy the Poet. I haven't read anything by Poopy that didn't touch me deeply. Of late I read a fictional piece titled "Scarlett; The Girl Who Always Smiled". vocal.media/fiction/scarlett-bv5x0ii0 This not only had an unexpected twist but was highly relatable to anyone who lives with depression and anxiety yet hides behind s smile. I was elected "Wittiest" in high school by my classmates. I was suffering deeply from severe depression and I believe this story stirs a little something inside all of us. Thank you for taking the time to read some of Poppy's creations.

Hey hey! Way to go, Mike.

How could I not plug my best friends incredible work too, Amie is one of the most exciting writers I have found and I am sure she would appreciate some love too <3 https://vocal.media/authors/amie-qqbnvj0qga

Ciao ragazzi, I am a writer trying to make a life in Napoli, Italy and 2 writers I have been obsessed with this month are Jazzy Goncalves - https://vocal.media/authors/jazzy-goncalves and Donna Fox - https://vocal.media/authors/donna-fox-wb2kio0it9 Their work is always so heartfelt and real, something I find rare when reading others' stories, but most of all it's relatable. I am certain a little trip to their pages will leave you with at least one thing that's thought provoking. These ladies have been incredibly supportive, and what a way to show my appreciation and introduce you all.

I've just enjoyed this moment of truth https://vocal.media/poets/love-you-too, perhaps others will too!

Hey everyone!! It’s me Abdul Haadi. I am new to Vocal. I want to recommend 2 stories by the same creator. She is my favourite creator as her stories are very well written and and so informative.

Hey everyone. Just a reader for now (maybe I'll get the drive to write again soon). I have two to recommend. https://vocal.media/poets/equilibrium-h7cz0eri (this was a very clever poem with a nice message) And a new writer I came across today: https://vocal.media/poets/try-it (I like the simplicity of this poem and it's message)

Hey there everybody! I'm Dana and I write mostly fiction and the occasional poem. I stumbled upon this little treasure earlier this week and had a great laugh (or two) if you don't mind a haphazard iguana, check it out: https://vocal.media/humor/the-day-i-was-accused-of-smuggling-a-random-pieces-tale

Oh I forgot to mention Hannah Moore. https://vocal.media/poets/give-me-more-to-love Needing to do a deep dive on her profile but this entry into the Short and Sweet challenge is so well written. Love the word and letter play.

Hi everyone. My name is Ray and I write short fictional stories and non-fic articles on things that interest me. Currently doing a lot of stuff on Art and AI (no implied connection). I love flash, particularly 100-word 'drabbles,' Big shout out from me goes to Stephanie J. Bradberry who really has literature and poetry in particular nailed. I wish I had an English teacher like her when I was at school (1960s/70s UK) Worth checking out here recent top story: https://vocal.media/journal/vocal-is-on-trend
