In response to "The Last Prayer "

Was this a contest? I ask because the instructions for the blank was a strong descriptive interesting word int the blank. I can think of a list of words that would be more so that few. Just saying. I love the poem.

In response to "What Can I do?"

I know I’ve read this before—perhaps even here—but I wanted to thank you for writing it. Reading it again reminded me of something I’ve been wanting to write for quite some time.

It fits beautifully with a blog I’m planning, and it truly complements the thoughts I’ve been gathering. Your words sparked that connection for me, and for that, I’m very grateful.

Thank you for the inspiration.

Kind wishes,
Tee

In response to "Couldn't Recover"

Mind twirls exploring themselves in restless anticipation of dressing themselves in something new and exciting to see. Fun stuff, playing with friendly imagination as one's best friend.

In response to "That Can't Be Changed"

That email is obsessive. There is a need to keep plants warm, make appointments, and research open enrolment. We should remain for each day's support.

That Terrible Night

That Terrible Night
Bodhisattwa Parekh

Dust bunnies big as wind witches,
Then a cold and hard knob.

My hands froze mid-reach.
The stomach did a clumsy turn.
What had I forgotten treasure hide?

Pulled it out slowly; an unblinking plastic eye,
Not a toy.
It was too shiny.

It stared up, unkindly.
Maybe the cat.
Or maybe some other small thing, my sin!
Some sort of blemish is having a terrible night.

I dropped it back quickly, a tiny cat.
Now I sleep with one eye open.
Feeling in case it blinks again.
