How I Accidentally Became a Poet . Top Story - September 2025.
I have always been a storyteller. I won’t bother you with all of the anecdotes, just one: I am eight, and I don’t know how to pen the complex words for my tale about a lost girl and her pirates. During class, my daydreams are occupied with memorizing the next scene. After school, I wait, not so patiently, for my mother to come home. Then, like an orator in a great hall, I stand beside her bed and recite the fictional unfoldings. She scribes them with a swift and loyal hand. Together, we revel in the newest imaginings, manifested, and she teaches me how to read cursive. It is like this for a year, maybe less, at least until I can string together a complete sentence and have become familiar with our second-hand thesaurus.

The True Us Versus Them in the United States. Top Story - September 2025.
The Truth and the Point Laid Out Here is the truth that everyone in the United States seems to have forgotten. To my dear Republicans, Democrats are not the only corrupt people in the world of politics. Yes, they are the most corrupt at the moment, but they are certainly not the only ones. Corruption exists on every side of the government. To my dear Democrats… get your shit together and wake up to reality and the evil that is taking place. It is no longer the Democrat party in action and belief. The Democrat party has become the American Communists Party. Very tragic.

#1 The Lunch Lady Blues... 💙🩵💙. Top Story - September 2025.
Lancelot "Lucky" Cornellion slowly walked from his third-period civics class toward the lunchroom. He wondered what was on the Tuesday lunch menu. He hoped that it was lasagna. Lasagna always reminded him of fun-filled slip-n-slide kickball summers in Delaware with his grammie Mae, grandpa Donnie & cousin Nitoe.

Sympathy and Cake. Top Story - September 2025.
Only she remembered what happened on the wedding day. But she was just a cat. It was their wedding, but they allowed her to be a part of it. Humiliating in its own way, but to have the ceremony so near the home was quite charming and peaceful. And it was a beautiful day…at first.

No Sex Please We Are Animals!. Top Story - September 2025. Content Warning.
I was walking my two little dogs on the beach the other day. As usual, they were their usual obedient little souls; not very much. I started thinking I needed a Dr. Doolittle person to get inside their minds.
