The Horror (Short Story) - 10/7/2025 3:47:22 AM
Enjoyed! Wouldn’t expect anything less
The Horror (Short Story) - 10/6/2025 8:39:30 AM
An evil miasmic creature that brings spine tingling terror and death.
I love woodland too but it can induce fear when everything goes silent, no birds singing etc I have experienced that once when taking a walk through a Pine forest alone, I felt like I was being watched and followed by someone or something so I ran like hell and even raced across a shallow rocky bedded river to get back to the campsite.
Reminds me I need to finish a story I started back in 1980 . . . I think I scared myself with it!
The Horror (Short Story) - 11/18/2024 12:38:54 PM
That would give the little kiddies nightmares. So much for the friendly forest.
Ron
The Horror (Short Story) - 10/28/2024 3:07:57 AM
A foreboding story with mystery and suspense. Just enough to raise the hairs on the back of one's neck.
The Stars (Poetry) - 9/6/2026 2:55:32 AM
Well said, I understand and feel your poem.
Very moving. Thank you for sharing your poem with me.

I Dare Not Think (Poetry) - 9/3/2026 11:34:47 PM
I understand where your words are going and I know love has it's twist and turns, nevertheless what's meant to be will be. Lovely words you have shared.
Rose
Come take my hand (Poetry) - 9/3/2026 1:00:13 AM

Nightsky (Poetry) - 8/29/2026 1:08:05 AM
Nice to see you posting! Speaking of a night sky we were supposed to see a lunar eclipse and it was too cloudy but earlier in the evening a beautiful full moon.
Nightsky (Poetry) - 8/28/2026 7:03:09 PM
I read that in spite of your fear, the full moon and your love can't be stopped.
Ron
I Dare Not Think (Poetry) - 8/17/2026 1:16:55 PM
Rather hauntingly tender, creating a beautiful dreamlike place of sunbeams, moonbeams and still waters, yet underneath it all is the fear of losing something precious.
Oftentimes, what we dare not think about is presactly what occupies our mind.
I Dare Not Think (Poetry) - 7/9/2026 5:00:21 AM
A deep and moving poem,I can relate to it.
I Dare Not Think (Poetry) - 6/8/2026 3:38:11 PM
Well expressed. Love always comes with pain -- the pain of loss or the pain of betrayal.
I Dare Not Think (Poetry) - 6/6/2026 11:41:37 AM
I sense much concern that love may be fleeting or turn. With an open heart, I don't think you can go wrong.
Ron
The Stars (Poetry) - 3/15/2026 3:03:32 PM
Follow your own stars. Beautifully expressed.
The Stars (Poetry) - 3/15/2026 12:19:52 PM
Your poem seems to be directed towards someone who may be trying to manipulate you. But watching your stars, is in your stars, and cannot be changed by anyone wishing to reel you in to theirs.

Slaying The Past (Poetry) - 2/16/2026 12:16:38 PM
Very emotional and telling. They say that as time passes we tend to forget the bad and remember the good. But the life lesson remains and teaches us what not to do again.

Heavenly Bodies (Poetry) - 10/25/2025 7:47:33 AM

Crystal Ball (Poetry) - 10/14/2025 4:58:05 PM
Great write Elizabeth. I believe we all have one of those crystal balls.

Ron
Don’t Stop Believing (Poetry) - 9/18/2025 1:53:00 PM

Rose
The Stalker (Poetry) - 8/19/2025 2:23:11 PM
The consensus says that stalkers are bad. This comes from the sensational news about stalkers that hurt people, either physically or simply mentally.
But for a brief time, when I was infatuated as a youth, I would seek out the girl of my dreams until she rejected me. The test you referred to.
Nothing ever comes from being meek and in the shadows. One has to come out into the open and make a gesture…" Would you like to go out with me on Friday night?"
Ron
BTW that playful photo makes you look like a cute dog waiting for someone to throw a piece of meat.
Promises (Poetry) - 8/18/2025 1:26:38 PM
Promises that are kept are the best.
I can truthfully say that I made some promises, very few, that I didn't keep. It helps from having regrets for things undone.
Ron
Beautiful Chaos (Poetry) - 8/3/2025 10:24:02 AM

Blindfolded by the Night (Poetry) - 3/2/2025 12:17:39 PM

This one is really somewhat of an expression of going blindly into something and then being trapped by it with that final line.

Pieces (Poetry) - 7/23/2024 1:00:34 PM
We are all trying to put the pieces together. Your poem shares that with everyone. It is difficult to find a good partner in life. One of the best ways is not to spend too much time worrying about it or trying to find one when one might be there all along.
The only line that disturbed me was "avoid the assault?"
Ron
Your loss, my win (Poetry) - 6/29/2024 8:07:56 PM

Path of the Willow tree (Poetry) - 5/30/2024 12:52:30 PM
This poem really captures the back and forth, hope and doubt of living life and trying to make wise decisions. I've felt it so many times myself! Thanks for sharing this poem of yours.
Yours from the start (Poetry) - 5/21/2024 8:38:54 AM
Particularly when we are young, there is, sometimes that undeniable attraction that occurs between 2 people that may or may not last a lifetime. Your poem speaks well of that occurrence. Consider yourself lucky.
Ron
Path of the Willow tree (Poetry) - 5/13/2024 12:14:27 PM
I can see you have devoted some time to this poem of struggle and attempt to reach a better life by changing. One of the hardest things for us to do as we get older and change becomes harder and harder to accomplish.
The twisted tree trunks look almost human. A very good selection to illustrate your poem.
Ron

Ron
Come take my hand (Poetry) - 5/8/2024 11:36:18 AM
Very romantic. To me, love (relationships) are like snowflakes. Each one is unique and usually beautiful at the start, at least. At times sadly, life and this world's ways get in the way and spoil things.
Love, peace, and best wishes to you, Elisabeth,
Regis. 🙏🌺
Come take my hand (Poetry) - 4/19/2024 1:48:21 PM
You are describing a perfect match. Is there really one?
Ron
The Screen (Poetry) - 3/16/2024 9:40:47 AM
We all have an inner eye where we view our dreams. Sometimes what we see is surreal rather than real. But we learn from every image as our thoughts are rearranged. Your poem suggests a dream relationship gone awry (insane).
Ron
The Screen (Poetry) - 3/15/2024 3:12:42 PM
Love or life or eyes on the screen? That's how I read this poem. Maybe we're beginning to question all the time we stare at the screens?
A Rose for You (Poetry) - 3/1/2024 8:08:45 AM

Precious little droplets (Poetry) - 11/18/2023 1:07:52 PM
Makes me think and wonder what will be or even how it will be.
Ron
Driven by justice (Poetry) - 9/20/2023 10:37:48 AM
A different point of view from your usual poem. I sensed a lot of concern about how we treat one another in the way you've written this. Once again, the clash between good and evil.

Ron
To make a rainbow (Poetry) - 9/2/2023 9:13:34 AM
I've heard of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but your poem turning tears into rainbows and knife cuts into beauty marks takes the prize.
It helps to keep a positive imagination when faced with adversity. Another way of saying it is to always look at your morning coffee cup as being half full rather than half empty.

Gone without a trace (Poetry) - 8/14/2023 5:44:32 PM
Quite savage reading.
Enslavement is not a thing we should ever be tied too.
And no one, I repeat no one, is worth that kind of pain.
Peter
Gone without a trace (Poetry) - 8/13/2023 12:04:52 PM
Sad to read. Obsession is not love, although it may seem like love. When a perception becomes compulsion it is enslavement. And it takes a lot of courage to break free.
Ron

Ancient Arts (Poetry) - 8/4/2023 11:39:39 AM
The most intriguing is the ancient art of falling in love. When you're in love nothing else really matters.
Great poem, Elisabeth!

Head on (Poetry) - 7/26/2023 1:16:13 AM
Ron! I don’t believe in supressing emotions. I believe in learning to recognize them. And with each time they rear their ugly heads I can learn something new from it. With each time they become easier to recognize and vanquish until next time they are awakened. But then again, the memories I’m talking about are from severe mental and physical abuse and have left scars within me that wont go away.
Head on (Poetry) - 7/25/2023 11:43:15 AM
It is probably better to lose bad memories and leave them behind. Lose ourselves into a better future for everyone.
Ron
As the shadows are closing in (Poetry) - 7/23/2023 10:08:33 AM

As the shadows are closing in (Poetry) - 7/23/2023 9:27:12 AM
Yes, a blessing to leave worries behind. But there is something dark about "the shadows closing in."

Like a butterfly (Poetry) - 7/17/2023 8:50:39 AM
There is a tree, quaking aspen, that is named that way because of the way the leaves seem to shake when in even a light breeze.
I imagined the amazing flight of the butterflies I see, seemingly so random, and yet they get to where they want to go. The wounded bird still calling out to its flock, letting them know what happened in bird language. Only have driven on brick streets, a rough ride, but not as rough as I imagine cobblestones.

Fire and flames (Poetry) - 7/1/2023 10:27:27 AM
Not that kind of fire and flame Ron. I’m writing about passion and being drawn to it like a moth to the flame.
Fire and flames (Poetry) - 7/1/2023 8:39:32 AM
You seem to begin with a kind of serenity of reaching a point where you are nowhere close to the fire you once imagined while struggling to survive it. But as the poem moves on it seems like you are moving back into the flame or being drawn there by underwater currents because you can't help the excitement of not knowing what will happen.
Ron
Change (Poetry) - 6/29/2023 10:43:17 AM

No where to run (Poetry) - 6/19/2023 11:48:26 AM
There was a song out back then and one of the lyrics was "no where to run, nowhere to hide" and this poem brought that to mind. Yes, often when love hits, even if we don't want it to happen and are not prepared or ready for it. There is no stopping love...
fee
No where to run (Poetry) - 6/19/2023 8:34:51 AM
Both cool and a bit humorous, I really like this one. Written a long time ago when you wore one of those hippie headbands? I call them sweat bands. I believe that many rock bands wore them because they helped keep the sweat of hot stages, hot lights, and vigorous performances from getting in their eyes and making it difficult for them to see…
It was a cool look, though. Especially on a woman with very long hair, keeping it out of her eyes so they could be seen drawing you in with their gaze like your poem suggests.
Ron

Intuition as my Guide (Poetry) - 6/12/2023 12:16:35 PM
This one was magic from beginning to end. One of your very best, getting better all the time. They say that a woman's intuition is better than a man's. And I believe that is so, largely because of a great need to protect children from harm. But in this case, seeking out and finding a soulmate that you can spend the rest of your life with sharing almost every moment.

The real Mars is not a very good place. But men from Mars have been clearly delineated and I think you like men from Mars very well, even if you are from Venus.
Of course whoever it is far away that is your Mars, I hope he finds this form of yours to be very comforting.

Angel of Salvation (Poetry) - 6/3/2023 11:44:23 AM
Something that we are born with and our parents, especially our mothers, should have instilled in us long before all of the peers, teachers and religions started trying to make us "grow up" their way.
Thankfully, my parents gave me that kind of start where I was ready to be my own man, willing to help anyone that I saw needed help, at 10 years of age. as far as all the rest goes, I learned from the very best and what not to do from the very worst.
My greatest life lesson has been how willing the angels of my rescue, simple strangers just willing to help, always came to me and helped me on my way with nothing more than a simple, "Thank you."
Beautifully written and much simpler than my overly long response.

Angel of Salvation (Poetry) - 6/3/2023 7:37:21 AM
Nice, with all the bad things going on in this world it is easy to overlook the good. Sometimes though the bad things also bring to light the good.I live in Nova Scotia and we have been surrounded by out of control forest fires, woods lost, houses destroyed etc. but the pulling together of people to help out and give was phemominal, so angels do exist...

A fire within (Poetry) - 6/1/2023 1:32:17 PM
So passionate my ears are burning! What if that sin is really not forbidden but actually a real life force that you process and so many others don't even understand. One of the reason your poetry is so arresting and brilliant.
That beautiful image of a bleeding heart reminds me of our angel flight begonia that grows to over 8 feet tall and right now is parading over eight lampshade like blossoms of a boom very similar to the bleeding heart.

Looking back at the flower again, it's not a bleeding heart. My bad.

Your Butterfly (Poetry) - 5/27/2023 12:11:42 PM
After loading up with the sweetest nectar, you can bet that butterfly is out for love and then to lay eggs for the next generation.
And I sense a bit of remorse for not staying with a former lover woven into the poem, as well.

Dreams are made of fairytales (Poetry) - 5/21/2023 9:58:01 AM
This poem struck home for me. My technicolor dreams often have me flying and sometimes, headed for the floor or worse in an apparent crash that never really happens--thank goodness!
Your dream may be realized sooner than you think when weightless excursions for lovers become part of the tourism industry. When people pay an affordable sum to spend a week weightless in an orbital spa. With all of their sensual desires fulfilled, perhaps, some seeds will take hold with beautifully formed babies upon return to earth. Their prodigy floating weightless in the life well of the mother.
Our flying a fairytale no more.

Infinity that has no end (Poetry) - 5/18/2023 11:24:46 AM

Infinity that has no end (Poetry) - 5/17/2023 12:48:24 PM
Methinks some of those beautiful hopefuls can happen right here on earth in the time we have left. However, we will have to wait a bit to make love while weightless. But it is coming and coming sooner than we think. Cavorting among the stars, is not very practical since the stars are so far apart. But if one stays on the earth and someplace away from light pollution, a hilltop in a place where the Milky Way can be seen overhead with clarity is about as good as it gets.

Double that Wow! Yes, this poem has it all. The battle between good and evil that goes on inside one's brain (not the old heart pump) and you have covered the gamut of what kinds of emotions that come from our own internal conflicts, determining whether we are sane or not. Poetry is one way to relieve the tension and you have very honestly shared it with us.
Thank you.

Goodbye, not Farewell (Poetry) - 5/14/2023 8:58:45 AM
Written obviously by a poet who understands loss and knows the many options one has to deal with the experience. Goodbye, not Farewell is an opportunity to turn the disappointment into a solid lesson you created to learn, for without it, one continues creating similar experiences until the lesson is learned and one can move on. You're well on your way. Best of luck to one who appears to have earned it.
Ethereal Lakes of Clarity (Poetry) - 5/13/2023 8:03:03 AM
A fascinating, intriguing poem with a lot going on, stimulating the mind, there's that old bug-a-boo mind again.
A note: some curious grammatical errors that should be fixed.

Goodbye, not Farewell (Poetry) - 5/12/2023 8:01:20 AM
Sounds like a sweet (and loving) farewell (fare thee well) to me, rather than an abrupt, final goodbye. Lovely.

Magic Force (Poetry) - 5/2/2023 8:19:20 AM
No Ron. I’m describing the initial stage of falling in love and the fear of loosing oneself in the strong feeling. A rational being fearing it is an unhealthy feeling and trying to reach a balance. The battle between heart, soul and mind, wich can be a rapid game of pingpong going back and forth and can continue on for a few days, weeks or months depending on how anchored you are in your rational individualistic thinking.
Magic Force (Poetry) - 5/2/2023 7:43:16 AM
I sense there's something more. Perhaps you are describing a codependent relationship. Where someone wants to be free but really can't be free. Too many relationships are like this. When the love is gone, the dependency still exists.
The best relationships are those where both parties can live on their own alone without the other. When that happens, the relationship is sound and lasting.

Collecting mile after mile (Poetry) - 5/1/2023 5:05:18 AM
When we are burned by an individual we tend to classify all of them as being bad. The truth is, not all musicians are bad, not all truck drivers are bad, not all lawyers are bad, not all engineers are bad etc. I think we just need to find the person and the heart, not the profession, the income, the religion etc. Glad you found the one for you. fee
The Presense (Poetry) - 4/30/2023 11:21:17 PM
Hi Lady-Liz ! I just can't stand it anymore. I've decided to put you out of your constant state of delirium over some guy who is plaguing you for so long. It's getting worse: you can't figure out whether your self-analyses are studies in a "spell" or in a "trance". In this poem, you have only mentioned him once - that's simply amazing, and therefore a very serious condition. I have therefore decided to put on my Freudo-Reichian cap, and the answer I get - Hey Presto ! - is that you are suffering from a "lack" of this guy, that is, instead of letting him get hold of your "brain",
you should direct the "whirl of colours" (must be that blind-bat fella I diagnosed in my last comment on your "YOU-filled" poems) to you know where... since as you say later he is rolled in "bright colours" later, maybe it's YOU. who needs to get your glasses checked for "specs" which don't permit distinguishing between "a whirl of colours" and "bright burning colours"??? The only solution (this analysis is costing you a pretty penny already) is to go get the GUY and see whether he's worth dreaming about!!! If he proves to be all throat and no juice, don't worry, you can always fall back on a certain Randy Ronnie who has quarts and quarts to spare for anyone
in want of di-mystifying of dreams!!! Don't pay me yet; the Income Tax sharks right now are casting their icicle nets. Best Liz-Lady. Sleep tight. TW
The Presense (Poetry) - 4/30/2023 8:35:06 AM
Dreams can be like that. They can present a mystery that is intriguing, not sure whether it is dangerous or not. If you can turn it back on the next time you go back to sleep, you might find out. Or, like often happens with me, the dream is circular, going round and round would never reaching a conclusion.
I read somewhere once that only women dream in color. That may be true for me, but I see people upon half awake in full-color clothes.
Actually, something trying to take away one's brain is quite scary.

In a Coil (Poetry) - 4/27/2023 9:44:35 AM
Perhaps it is the ever lasting struggle between good and evil that sometimes brings our thinking to a cramp caused by a boa constrictor inside squeezing the hell out of us.
May the cramp disappear in the light of the moon and day shine on a lovely life ahead beyond this conflict expressed in your poem.
Ron
In a Coil (Poetry) - 4/27/2023 6:28:29 AM
The image of the coil serves well as a symbol of what is sometimes going within us, in the mind, heart, soul, in deal with the things we are confronted with. As you wrote: "The body that craves so sweet // the mind that is set on retreat."
Meaning of life (Poetry) - 4/26/2023 6:31:11 AM
A challenging title and topic that you have explored in an interesting manner. The mystery will never fully reveal itself, but that shouldn't stop us from exploring into its meaning.

Meaning of life (Poetry) - 4/25/2023 11:17:29 AM
This poem is very modern and refreshing,
I understand this philosophy too.
Quantum science is constantly redressing,
All that we know to be true.
You wouldn't think it to be regressing,
To use the labels that we do.
However, it is both wonderful and depressing,
To be able to talk to you....[[|:-)
Meaning of life (Poetry) - 4/25/2023 9:52:02 AM
What a wonderful view of life! I love that phrase of worshiping a prophet's shoe. Or a golden calf or 10 Commandments, for that matter. Life is there for us to enjoy. Throwing off all the one-sided views of our world creates a window for us to observe everything without fear.
Ron
Meaning of life (Poetry) - 4/25/2023 6:37:28 AM
Indeed, so true. My latest, "Fear of Life" takes a rather circuitous route in life's prognosis, but in yours, there are very simple, yet profound, examples of the simplicity of living with all the senses working, all the associations searching for meaning, and above all, your poem avoids preaching. Well done.
Towards the Dawn (Poetry) - 4/24/2023 8:07:57 AM
