Writers's Digest Short Short Story Competition
Deadline extended until January 17th. Don't miss your last chance to enter.
"A lifetime isn't forever, so take the first chance, don't wait for the second one! Because sometimes, there aren't second chances! And if it turns out to be a mistake? So what! This is life! A whole bunch of mistakes! But if you never get a second chance at something you didn't take a first chance at? That's true failure." ― C. JoyBell C.

Baby Siting
When my brain cells are throbbing
And blood pressure is soaring
I visit the dog park
And it's never ever boring

A Covid Christmas
No collection for Christmas poems for 2021 would be complete without this next poem.
The funniest face looked out at me from a pointy red ball on the Christmas Tree!

Historian
My hops in this light
09:08 PM
the electric patio bulb
flattering their existence
before the pitch black of my lawn.

Clerihew
A clerihew is a whimsical, four-line biographical poem invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley. The first line is the name of the poem's subject, usually a famous person put in an absurd light, or revealing something unknown or spurious about them. The rhyme scheme is AABB, and the rhymes are often forced. The line length and metre are irregular. Bentley invented the clerihew in school and then popularized it in books.

Old Movie
He misses his child's birth for more compelling reasons,
and she's ok with it.
She places the newborn in his arms,
and when that's not enough,
she insists he rest with them in the birth bed.
Still, this isn't enough, and she's okay with it.

Anxiety
Is anything truly and sincerely
that bad
right now...

Excerpt from CATCH A THIEF
Connie Murphy strolled into the Food and Drug Administration's Long Island Resident Post after a week vacation sporting a golden tan and a good mood. That is, until she met the new supervisor.

For the Boy
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
I'd hadn't seen any in years. Still,
you always enter from the back,
always from an unfavorable parking lot,
and always in the red-light district.

Shame
I was exhausted
dragging a robe.
The ex and I
yelled and argued
and powdered
the newborn's ass.

Gateway Science Fiction Books
The question of what the best science fiction book would be to hand a young reader to get them hooked on science fiction novels is an interesting one. Usually, I would expect that many teen readers nose around the sci fi genre after watching Fantasy movie series like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, and the classic sci fi movie series Matrix, Terminator, Star Wars and Hunger Games.

Monday September 13th 2021
There were lots of Boomers and X-rs
some Silents
on that flight
some Millennials
to include the petty officer
and the rest were busy children.

Vanity
I can deal with the ear hair.
I can abate that.
That much is easy.

Organ Harvest
Suburban versus train rural county road anywhere North Dakota. All teenagers one "survivor" one brain-dead flower of hope to anyone but herself on life support.

The Children
While my beloved dog
was still alive yet dying
and knew she was dying
she and I witnessed an event.

The Encounter
A woman watches her next-door neighbor walk across the well-manicured lawn to greet a group of friends. This was a mistake. Why did I let Alice talk me into coming to this party? I'm not ready. I feel like everyone's staring at me. Like… that man over there.
