@Parker Owens Chopin and the piano are inseparable, Für Elise has always a place in my heart and the piano accompanied by beloved voices, so much to enjoy, to listen to. Thank you, Parker, for your reading my poems and telling me your thoughts.

#8 is my favorite, I admire your guts to write poems in German, it's difficult to get the feeling right in a language you're still learning, but you did it with ease.

It was close, but I/we did it. And I know I will miss it tomorrow, now on to writing about the children of the night. Until next year.

23. I wish... a whisper thought flies away with my hope, for the past is ironclad, and a harsh teacher. Time is linear, lesson learned, I just walk on. I wish... a whisper shoot sprouts green with gleaming purpose, for the future is malleable and hope returns—and possibilities wake. 24. Today the horde's object will be to learn that an oak tree is nothing like a beech, and we better not trample ostrich fer

Soo, really fun? Haha, this kinda happened I just couldn't stop. Thank you very much, Gary.

@Headstall, I'm happy you like my experiments, I just can't help it, lol, I exchanged the science lab for a poetry lab. Great praise.

Thank you, Gary.

@Headstall, yeah I'm incorrigible, LOL. I'm glad you found this year's collection and that you like the first chapter.

@RafaelDe Grazie tante. Obviously, LOL Thank you for taking the time and writing a comment. Limericks just happen this year.

I will have to drink more tea.

Definitely.

April 17, you had me with querulous toad, I'm still smiling. April 18, I was weighed down by sadness. April 19 was quite the counterpoint, beautiful wings. April 22, I'm not done with this one, my mind spins. April 24, you found words were I could not. You created a roller-coaster collection this week, as always, thank you, Parker.

Well, at least it sounds cool.

Haha, it's funny in how many movies and shows Düsseldorf is mentioned, and I had to slip in my birthplace somehow. I'm glad you liked my week. #17, is a favorite of mine, too. Thank you for your comment.

@Valkyrie, thank you, for your help.Writing helped to sort my chaos.

@dughlas Thank you for your kind words.

16. But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, The heart, a mysterious organ, Sometimes a simple pump, Sometimes it’s in the eyes, Some days it’s chocolaty. Sometimes it’s even called soul. When it stops, life ends. Prompt: (Talk about the heart, your own or the heart in general, as reality or as metaphor.) Quote: O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman. 17. They met in a non-existent room

Sometimes the story is outlined on paper or in our head, but how to begin? The first sentence should engage the reader without revealing too much or boring them to death. This time we’ll do it the other way around. PT #41a Pick an introductory sentence from a favorite book on your shelf at home or a story on GA and use it to start a short story or vignette. And because it’s still April: PT#41b Choose the first line of any poem and continue to write a poem of your own. PT #42 Did you see the Sub Genre rewrite challenge? Your goal is to rewrite a given prompt to show it instead of telling it. You can focus on the scene itself or rewrite it into a new story. Add more that comes before or after but be sure to include these paragraphs in all the glorious five senses details to bring the story alive for readers. More than one author can pick the same prompt, as we all visualize scenes differently. Have fun!

Only because I have the perfect sounding board.

I loved the months, but April 11 is my absolute favorite. Thank you for composing these.

@Parker Owens, I love the wind, standing on the beach, watching the North Sea during a storm is energizing. Thank you, Parker, I'm glad you liked week 2.

Happy Easter!

@dughlas, I actually thought of migraines when I wrote this. May the golden rays scatter it. Thank you, dughlas.

8. Ruthless minds devise perfidious plans, a way to a new world order. To the beating oil drums of modern war the new diversified cattle are charging into a vicious battle driven by despotic voices they forfeit their precious humanity to an inhumane idea. To a cold term: unrestricted warfare. It stands for war at all levels, it stands for war in every dimension. Do not enter the waiting queue politicians, generals, diplomats,
