Love Connection by L. M. Montes
In my dream you held me tight,
but only for a moment’s flight,
then I woke,
you went away,
perhaps to visit another day.
I took your hand and speared your eyes,
connections made that never dies,
then we let go,
but hearts delighted,
perhaps the start of love ignited.
Family and Food
Snippets of Wisdom
Remember, food can’t grow on a hard surface.
So how are you supposed to raise a family
if you don’t get a little soft?
Waves of Time
Waves–
Keep coming–
So we have to change with the waves of time,
As the waves approach, we have to react.
Furthest Place from Home
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
I traveled to Europe twice. The first time was to live for a few years, as I was a military wife. The second time was years later with my dad to visit family. Both times, even though I knew it was temporary, I missed my homeland (USA) very very much. But I don’t regret having made both of these trips. It’s experience to draw from when I write.
Where Do You Write
Finding the best place to write is up to you. There’s no right or wrong setting. Whether you are writing an essay, poetry, short story, novel, or journal entry doesn’t matter.
Sitting on the beach, looking out at the sunset, and hearing the waves hover over the sand as they reach forward, will open your creative mind.
Imagine sitting and looking out at the mountains pictured above. Such a rich environment filled with so many possibilities abound.
Now this photo could go either way. Perhaps something romantic is brewing. On the other hand, maybe there is sinister intent going on.
Whichever setting you are in writing, take in your environment, work with it, and mold it to suit your creative juices.

Life’s Game
by K. McMahill
Here as I sit at the table and see the stares, I already know who is calling me out, not being a road dog, but i know how to be a man.
Life’s a gamble, not to get lost in the cards or the games.
