For some people this is a reality. Thank you for sharing this dark poem with us. I still enjoyed your writing talent. You're very talented and we are luck you share it with us.

    Well I've been writing a long time.
    (almost 20 years)
    But I write ferociously and I dig within my mind.
    On how to better it each time.
    Thanks again.

Another well-thought, unique, and very creative entry! I really like how you presented it with the image, the black background, and the tan font. To me it seems like the font could represent a thin light soil, of some sorts, layered over very rich black soil. And the picture with the ice could represent glaciers over both of the soils...which is probably how our dead Earth would look like at some point after we're wiped out. So, I thought that was cool if it's what you were going for. Great Job!!

Merry Christmas, again...lol

This is good work. The piece flows nicely and is well separated for the reader. I love the flow of this and the graphic and contrasting text make it easy to read and enjoy.

This writing is kind of on the dark side for this Christmas day. It is written in your usual skillful manner, just a sad story. The artwork is perfect for the subject you wrote about.

    When I was working on this one.
    I wanted to go as deep as I could.
    As dark as I could and as cold as I could.
    Did I succeed?

Oh yes, I can understand why the cold could be pretty distressing, I've found that Northern Hemisphere homes are geared to the cold, whereas our homes are a little more traditionally geared to the heat. But efficient heating and cooling systems are making insides more comfortable, but then there energy costs? Heh heh, beautifully written Ricky, blessings Roy

    I wanted to go as dark as I could.
    As deep as I could and as cold as I could of course.

This is a very somber piece. When I look around I do wonder about all the pain, fear and awfulness I see. Is God watching? Will He fix this? When you've experience great pain and loss, it can be difficult to keep believing.

A thought provoking post.
