    Babies grow so very quickly. My son is no exception! It seems that he was just being handed to me like a little baby burrito, all red and squinty! Now I am planning his first birthday party…albeit 3 months in advance…but still!! This poem is for him of course. Though he grows fast, I have no regrets, because I truly savor our time together and that’s all you can do!

    by bellmusker

    Right down the length of your shuddering spine

  • Playing for Change....
    by Sheila Pasket

    CHANGE…..what a concept

    Featured in Live, Love, Dream May 2009! I am honored, blessed and floored by this feature. Thank you so much!! Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” ~John 20:29 Choose Greatness…Choose GOD! When given the option for greatness in life, it’s easy to opt out time and time again, until it becomes a habit. “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” ~1 John 3:16-20

  • Play me a new note
    by Plum

    For each person counts in the sound they make / All are instrumental in shaping the future

    This poem came from thinking about history and how it does often repeat and how we can make a difference, even if its through what we think, what lives in our hearts …

  • Child's Play

    Piece of a happy space.

  • Ghosts of Childhood
    by Thomas Simunsen

    The howls of a storm cover the cries of a child / the wind steals their laughter / rain melts colours of children into puddles of grey

    / A wonderful pic and collaboration with Exposedbutloved / please check out her work I have been playing with this for a few weeks. / It was an offshoot and in a similiar vein to My Childhood Heroes poem. / As we get older and move on the world gets more stressful and serious. / When we venture back past the streets we grew up on or a familiar childhood event passes our thoughts it gets harder to remember our memories of play as children. / I hope the ghosts of your childhood are happy ones.

  • Played
    by Damian

    She saw him come for her. She lay in bed with widening eyes and saw his shape fill the doorway, knife extended.
