In response to "Holiday letter"

Thanks for your entry in the Bard's Hall Contest. Word Count was listed in accordance with the rules.

I thought the opening was engaging and the salutation addressed a reader. The letter takes a look at the author's life, where it was going and how it COVID had influenced change. The letters ends on an upbeat note.

In response to "Sacrificing"

I wonder whether you were thinking of Nashville.

Please edit if entering in a contest. There are a few typos that need to be fixed.

If you can get out tonight and the skies are clear look up.

I like the narrative your making here? I don't know if you did more with this or if this was just a one off but I love this so much. If you did do more with this please email me at this sight or send me a link? If not I would still like to know more about you writing style.

In response to "An adventure to remember"

This was vary fun short story, I had no idea what was going to happen next but I found it quite funny. I was a bit surprised at the end, but looking back I could see how all that would make sense.

A lesson with Saint Barbie

Beauty is priceless
Beauty is the key
To get your way through this world
Full of lustful sneers.
An ounce of make up
And a skirt too short
Is the only way a woman can
Be taken seriously.
Woman must look pretty
To help with patriarchy
To boost the male ego
When they see you naked.
Beauty isn't an option
But rather a compulsion.
Size zero waist, perfect hair,
A made-up face and some slutty clothes
Is the most crucial investment
For every woman today.
You must be fair, not colored, not black.
You must be skinny with hips and tits fat.
Your hair should be soft and perfectly worn.
And you must always smile,
For you look ugly when you cry,
Or when you scream, or when you fight
For what you think is right.
You're a part of a judgemental world
Where your demands won't be heard
Until you concur.
The only thing you must strive to be
Is the epitome of female beauty.
And if you're not up to the task yet,
You seven-year-old child,
You're unnecessary and insignificant.
You should take a knife and kill yourself.

Be thankful

Stop for a second,
drop everything you're doing,
look all around yourself,
and let lose in the moment.
Appreciate everything,
the big and the small.
In the blink of an eye you might lose the chance,
to show them your gratitude.
Life may seem long,
but it's shorter than you think.
So don't look for excuses,
to be thankful, kind and loving.
