I liked this story about fairies, leprechauns, and other mystical creatures hiding from humans behind a wall of magic that for some reason had begun to break down, and the potential consequences if it broke down completely. Fortunately for them and us the gnome council was able to restore things, and their existence remains hidden.

a great poem about life long quest for knowlege and that starts at birth and continues until one dies. I liked this lines the best

Sculpting his likeness in the past, he longs for eternity.
Probing the future, he ignores the past.
Forever living, forever changing, forever growing, the mind's eye can awaken the universe.

Tomorrow is so far away,
But that seems like yesterday.
The hours blur in what seems a minute,
I need to slow time down.
Until today I felt I could reach for the stars,
But I’d surely have one by now.
Then a revelation touched my mind,
Brief as it may have been.
It’s time to take the initiative,
To take the reins myself,
The future is mine for the taking.

A good poem about the passage of time and what the future may bring. Like the line today I can reach for the stars

powerful and moving poem about the process of growing up and all that entails. I like the details and the images and language choices. Very vivid poem. I like the flow of the poem. I like the last few stanzas the best as it sums up the mood of the poem.

an interesting and moving poem about a psychopath or human demon and the requirements for being an evil demon I would have made it more political but that is just my opinion this works nicely

Great poem about dreaming and the fading of one's dreams upon waking up. Decades ago, I took a course on dream psychology, where I learned how to keep a dream journal—writing down my dreams every morning as soon as I woke up, before they faded away into the ether, so to speak.
One thing I learned from the class was that there is a connection between drugs like LSD and dreaming. Apparently, when one dreams, the brain enters a state similar to the one induced by LSD and other drugs. The difference is that while under the influence, one remains somewhat awake. When waking up from a dream, the brain secretes a chemical that "flushes away" the dream and replaces it with normal waking consciousness.

The key to remembering dreams is to spend 30 seconds recalling the dream before fully waking up, then writing it down within 20 minutes. Using a dictation program works great.

here are some articles on lucid dreaming and writing dream journals that you might find interesting:
• Lucid Dreaming:
o Lucid Dreaming Reveals a New Layer of Conscious Brain Activity: A study exploring the unique brain activity patterns during lucid dreaming.
o Lucid Dreams: Understanding and Controlling Your Dreams: An overview of lucid dreaming, its types, techniques, and benefits.
o Scientists Just Found the Clearest Evidence Yet That Lucid Dreaming Is a Real State of Consciousness: Research confirming lucid dreaming as a distinct state of consciousness.
• Writing Dream Journals:
• How to Keep a Dream Journal: A step-by-step guide on documenting and interpreting dreams.
• A Dream Journal for Writers: How writers can use dream journals for inspiration.
• What Is a Dream Journal Used For?: The benefits of keeping a dream journal and how it can enhance creativity and self-awareness.

I like the bipartisan spin on this as it is a chronic problem in politics and business. I coined a phrase Idiots in High places to describe this phenomenon. You left off toe post child for this syndrome Donald Trump. Of course that has been overdone so perhaps you wanted to showcase other candidates for this dubious honor?

i can relate to this poem about looking back at the end of the month and wondering how one conquered ones endless to do list somehow. I like linking it to Florida weather in May which can be hot and humid draining one of energy

A short, vivid poem about an aging hipster finding an ancient tortoise and trying to communicate with the tortoise, who looks at the human with amusement, perhaps?

Love this poem, I like the various dreams you list. I like the red corvette line and the Paisley Park reference is that a reference to Prince by chance?

I like this Dansa poem that puts one's history into perspective we are all indeed just part of the everywhen and we are dead and gone we will in a sense live on in our descendents as they become us as we became our parents and grandparents or in my case Uncle and Grand Uncle and now a Great Uncle....

a nice take on the dansa form. I like the theme of the poem realizing that a women is one's fatal attraction and would be the death of me unless one walks away in time, but that is the dilemma poised by getting involved with such a fatal attraction in the first place! sometimes one just is bitten by the old love Jones and can't help one self.

hmm nice meta poem about writing the dansa poetic form. I like the wry humor in this poem I love the reference to time to eat some pie indeed i wish I could but being pre-diabetic at age 69 sadly, my pie and cake eating days are behind me.

nicely done poem about taxes and death. and how in the end when we are dead the tax man can't get us anymore but they can still go after our heirs and they do. except in those states that have enacted a ban on what the right calls "Death taxes" or what the rest of us call estate taxes. If they had their way, such taxes would be gone meaning that when someone like Elon Musk dies his heirs will inherit billions of dollars without paying a penny in taxes. That just seems wrong to me

god I wish that so easy. But the tax man always gets his due. So many famous people got tripped up by forgetting to do their taxes and the tax man came for them.

a great poem about the hobo life, the life of an someone always traveling, always moving on down the train track of life. You captured that spirit in this poem that is perhaps a tribute to Edgard Allen Poe or to hitchikers?

You nailed this French form with your short and sweet verse reminding us what is important in life is sharing life with one's friends and family enjoying every moment we have.
