I am not a good “new learner”; I have trouble with uploading photographs to accompany my writing and figuring out the different areas of Mus’d. I am 61 and soo not computer savvy. My last photo looked stretched out, sprawling across the background of my poem and I gave up and left it. Any ideas of how to insert photos from images such as Upsplash,…[Read more]

  Damn Cathy! I love your poetry but this was epic. I had absolutely no idea where it was going and was riveted the whole way through. Kindawish he’d hopped on a fligh to Maritus and just fucked over the man but ending makes absolute sense. Voice was so damn good!

    Thank you, my friend.

  This. Wow, this just blew me away as well. I would love to see more from this world. I also adore your poetry. This is something special. Really well done

  This is good. Such tiny descendants. Who’d a thunk it?

  This kinda reminds me of the series you did on the other site. Well done! And yay for Adam and Eva. (cool names)
  - Celia replied 2 years, 3 months ago
    
    LOL That shall not be named 😂 Yeah I tried to do Kenny’ gothic challenge and for some reason I end up going towards sci-fi…having never wroye (before the other thing) or read any 😁 Weird!
    - Cathy Holmes replied 2 years, 3 months ago
      
      It was really, really good. And what’s this “gothic challenge” you speak of. nvm. I can’t write Gothic anyway. lol
- Kenny Penn replied 2 years, 3 months ago
  
  Celia! This is soooo good! I’m not sure if you realize what you have here. If you wanted, I think you could treat this little short story as an outline and turn it into a full blown novel. I think it has huge potential.
  - Celia replied 2 years, 3 months ago
    
    Aw Kenny thank youi so much, seriously coming from you…you’ve made my day! 🤍

  Aw Hayley, I felt this. Beautifully written but so much truth and I am sure many can relate. You take care and maybe try to give you a little attention every now and then 🤍

    Thanks so much Celia! 💗 To be fully honest this was an older piece that I have been itching to revisit and revamp to make more current, had fun with the wave *motion* ha, I appreciate the kind well wishes!!!
- River Joy replied 2 years, 3 months ago
  
  Awesome piece Hayley, the formatting adds so much to the piece. It’s visually gorgeous as well as the writing. Really great stuff.
  - Hayley Matto replied 2 years, 3 months ago
    
    Thank you so so so much River!!! I had this one written in an old notebook years ago with this pattern, but the first draft I did online I wasn’t in love with. But I think I finally got it here! So glad you enjoyed.
