Existence: Robert St. Germain

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Why do people live and die? It always leaves me wondering why? Some die young, while others live forever. Most of us survive all kinds of weather. Life is full of ups and downs. Some of us are smart, while others are clowns. Life will always end someday. It never matters what you say. Drinking blood will not give you eternal life. But … Continue reading Existence: Robert St. Germain

Onslaught: Robert St. Germain

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Another mass shooting on the news tonight.Things will not get better, and things are not right. Sometimes it’s gender, and sometimes it’s race. Have their minds gone to outer space? How can you kill a person because they're not like you? What did that poor person do to you? You fill them with bullets and murder them with hate. Can we learn our … Continue reading Onslaught: Robert St. Germain

Criminal: Cassandra Kulay

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The criminal is seductive,we all want to break the rules sometimes.They can seem so unfair.When we feel destructive,the anti-hero is there.The villain can protest what seems right and good.Can appeal to our angel and those who feel misunderstood.Society can expose us to all kinds of red tape.Bureaucracy can be so frustrating to those who most … Continue reading Criminal: Cassandra Kulay

Demise: Cassandra Kulay

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The first snow turned to rain,I wonder when I’ll be happy again.The grey days remind me of loss.Death takes its toll,and I pay the cost.I remember those who have moved on,and the lonely grieving when they were gone.Depression haunts the corners of my mind.I look for signs that they are alright.I know death is a … Continue reading Demise: Cassandra Kulay

Downward Spiral: Cassandra Kulay

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Sometimes you lose all sense of what is real and what has been imagined. Sometimes you can’t take care of yourself, no matter whether or not people wish you well. Sometimes you can’t stop crying for no reason and that is when all happiness seems to come from rose coloured glasses and you feel that you’ve lost yours for good. The world is moving … Continue reading Downward Spiral: Cassandra Kulay

Rain: James Adamson

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the Glory of God,To Gwyneth with Love. The rain comes down in sheetsIt seems to create men who stand or those in seatsThere is little chance of sweaty teethOverwhelming power is what we meet Rain falls as if to wash away the colorIt doesn’t matter if the design has allureThe devil’s mask falls away … Continue reading Rain: James Adamson

Rhyme or Reason: James Adamson

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the Glory of God  To Gwyneth with Love  Walking among the shadows in a forest  There is no rhyme or reason in knowing what the shadows are Until you look up Life exceeds you if you know you are living The clouds bleed off a mountain peak Leaves stab into the sky The grains of sand are innumerable yet there is … Continue reading Rhyme or Reason: James Adamson

In Perpetuity: John Oross

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I live a modest life,yet I can craft a fantasy.Caught within perceptions embrace,turned from my mirror, facing reality. I’ve opened my heart.encased many with my art, for free.I’d rather be poor; I’d rather be homeless.Than live a life born from lies.Little lies, lead to more.Anyways you twist themI’d rather simply continue to be me. Father, … Continue reading In Perpetuity: John Oross

Thief: Marjolaine Brodeur

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

     The thief inched along the sidewalk over to the fence’s gate.  After turning left and right to be assured that no one would interfere with the plans for the intended raid only to find that the gate’s door was too high to climb.  So, opting for Plan B, scooched under it instead as there … Continue reading Thief: Marjolaine Brodeur

Why the Subterfuge?: Marjolaine Brodeur

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Lately, I have noticed and watched many of the remakes of the Agatha Christie novels and found them unsatisfactory.  In some, they have included Miss Marple where she was never a part of the novels.  Why this desecration of a story (or two) who were capable of the test of time to succeed without Miss … Continue reading Why the Subterfuge?: Marjolaine Brodeur
