NTT Challenge: 04/04/24 Edition
Hello and good evening, all! Apologies for the very, very late edition! I’m still adjusting to the new work schedule, and have not quite found my groove yet. Normally, I would run through the roll call, but as I am already very late, I am going to jump right into the proceedings. Please forgive this…

Sometimes I Wonder
No Theme Thursday entry. Sometimes I wonder What’s beyond that horizon? Sometimes I wonder Is there more out there? Sometimes I wonder What could I have done better? Sometimes I wonder Would it even matter? Sometimes I wonder Were we chasing an impossible dream? Sometimes I wonder Did she find what she was looking for?…

More Is Never Enough
In the dark, my hate can hide The pain I carry deep inside I medicate with whiskey burns Another pill, my stomach turns I drink all night and sleep all day I can’t survive another way My throat it burns, the taste is rough But more is never quite enough © The Beginning At Last

Friday On My Mind
Friday on my mind but I’d just as soon forget I used to have a life but I wonder where it went Had it in my pocket but it must have fell somewhere I thought to look around but I found I didn’t care It wasn’t worth a lot no, it wasn’t worth that much…

Until That Day
No Theme Thursday *Explicit Language/Content Warning* If I wrote it down or let it out You’d walk away I have no doubt And if I let you see inside I’m sure you’d run away and hide Your fucking friendship, what a joke On platitudes I hope you choke Your hollow words they don’t mean shit…

Day After Day On The Dock
No Theme Thursday submission. Not my best, but it’s the best I have to give right now. Sun shines on the bay, just like the Journey song Not sure if I’m right or if maybe I went wrong I hear Otis singing, I watch tides rolling away I hear her voice so clearly, it’s just…

Alone In The Crowd
My NTT entry for this week. Amidst the hustle of the street A thousand eyes refuse to meet I’m different so they look away It happens every fucking day I once was sad, now I don’t care Your kind, I see them everywhere In the stores, or on a train Deep within it caused me…

Lost In The 80s
I was lost within the 80s, I was locked inside your love Aquanet and acid jeans, Heaven sent you from above I was young and so hot blooded, wanted you to check and see Your poison in my ear so soft, dirty talkin’ me We were runnin’ with the devil, we were livin’ on a…

Ode To The 80s
Might be a 70s song or two in there as well. 🤷♂️ 😋 My pick for this week’s No Theme Thursday image. Yes, it’s stupid and yes, I’m just screwing about, but see how many song titles or lyrics you can identify. 😉 Summertime girls burnin’ down the avenue Shot through the heart, but I…

From Ash, Arisen
A kingdom crumbles all around me. Wails of agony echo through the cold night air. Still, I have arisen. Licking flames and acrid smoke engulf me. I choke on ash and taste my own blood. Still, I have arisen. My tribe slaughtered like livestock to market. Their souls like coin to the merchant called Death.…

No Theme Thursday (03/07/24)
Good day, all! Another week, another edition of No Theme Thursday! Last week saw some new entrants, and also some folks putting their own spin on the theme (no theme?). It’s become a bit more free form, and I think that’s really, really cool. If you’ve been inspired to create, then mission accomplished! If there…

Quick Poem & An Update
You thought you had me down You thought you’d broke my will A sparkle in your eyes As you moved in for the kill Imagine your surprise When you felt the piercing blade The moment when you knew The mistake that you had made As you look into my eyes And see my bloodied grin…

Fields of Glass
Field of dreams like shattered glass A gaze into a broken past A life well lived in broken shards Beyond repair, not in the cards Fragments cutting, fingers bleed To see it whole there is no need You cannot fix it, do not try To try is just to live a lie Leave the pieces…

The Sound of Daydreams
My pick from this week’s No Theme Thursday images. The Sound of Daydreams Out on the stoop, the setting sun Her favorite song, you know the one You know the tune, you know the beat You hear it up and down the street The song that takes her breath away The one that makes her…

To The Wolves
Beaten, scarred down to the bone To the wolves I have been thrown Laid out, broken on the ice Jaws around me like a vice Teeth are tearing through the skin A searing pain from deep within Flowing blood, it freezes fast To the wolves I have been cast I thrash about just to survive…

Walking Away
I feel the need to walk away Perhaps return another day Times they change, and people too I feel at last my time is through Moving on, I don’t know where Without a clue, without a care A song once said ‘While it’s still fun” “Walk before they make me run” Within my head those…
