GOODBYE, AS OF MIDNIGHT NOV. 30TH
The photo is yours truly, from last year. I know I’m pushing the season, but November 30th is my last DUP day.
I wish most of you all the best.
There are a number of quality writers here and a bunch of good people…I’ll miss them!
Be good to yourselves and each other. Be healthy, be happy, be honorable. Return all seats to their full and upright positions and don’t chew gum on line (unless you have enough for everybody). If I can help in some way, if you have any comment…good or bad…or if you’d just like to say “Goodbye”, please drop me a line before Tuesday, the 29th, ,so...

Scramble
In November of 1982, Mom bought me a handheld video game for an early Christmas present. The game I received was "Scramble" by Tomy. It's a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) game. It's based on the "Scramble" arcade game that was made by Stern/Konami.
I still remember the night before I received the game. My family and I were visiting my grandparents in Sneedville and I was a very happy boy because I knew that I would receive my game the very next day. I was only eleven years old at the time.
On Scramble, you fly a jet. You must shoot flying and stationary missiles. You...

Sawdust Memories
Memories of conversations and a penny's worth of sawdust. Is there a heaven? Mom said there was. With unicorns and porch swings. She would take me in her arms and hug me. Touching my cheek with her tears as she passed, with a penny's worth of sawdust in her hair. Among the memories of wood shavings on the floor. Now she is in heaven with "the carpenter's son."

3 years (ish) and counting :)
Hey lovely stranger~
In about 4 days now, my profile will be officially 3 years old!
It's not an extremely substantial amount of time, but I felt like making an anniversary post because I think this is the longest time that I've kept a hobby alive lmao
So why not give a mini-celebration? :D
Before this, I created my first account, 'wizkatfood', about 4 years ago, which to this day, I still have no idea why I freaked out, deleted it, then started this one. But, I'm glad I did whatever I did, because I'm still on here, expressing...

Character assassination and sexual harassment
--- I have NEVER said an improper word to any one [women or man] on this site ---
the following message chain is point black accusing me WITHOUT evidence of driving women from this site. I am now requesting all who read this post to link hard evidence of improper behavior [emails, replies, messages] that corroborates the vile accusations presented here. I have already begun transitioning to other poetry sites because of lost friends and closed doors on dup since I took sides in a war between two poetesses. Enough is enough, I am demanding evidence. ...

Michelle's Questionnaire
Q1 answer: Hi! I'm Jemia
A writer, poet, naive artist (scribbler!) sometimes tells jokes

Otherworldly Memories Part VII: The Dark Son
- Otherworldly Memories Part VII: The Dark Son -
It was a period of war and conflict in the lands of Eriu, for the tyrannical king Bres had been cast into exile from the kingdom of the Tuatha de Danann over which he once reigned. It is said that his rule of terror lasted for seven years, but seven years to Elfin kind is a long period of time indeed for any ruler to reign, especially one given to great cruelty! Though some argue his reign was longer, and that it was only in the last seven years of it that the worst things happened under his monarchy. Time for me during those years...
