Our love was a ritual of the land of the skies and beyond… I was a shooting star from a thousand million eons ago and I crash landed inside your heart. You placed my fragile pieces back together and even kissed the pain of the shockwaves away and all I could do was swallow my … Continue reading Erica Abercrombie: Nick Hart
The Workers: Kevin Grummet
They are coming I bolted the door And swallowed the key My heart continued to hammer Beat Beat Beat They push and pull me Toward the combustion furnace My hands blistered I shovelled the coal The blood in my veins flowed Boil Boil Boil I drove to my sterile job I sat at my desk … Continue reading The Workers: Kevin Grummet

Fine day for a First Friday: Heather Carr
Altered perception makes Art life and life art Colours oversaturate Abstracts mesmerize with their chaos Each brushstroke texture captivating Clouds hang in the sky As light caroms off glass Leaves shine in brilliant green Painted crosswalk iridescent Though none see the difference in me I see it in them Glimmering eyes and smiles True beauty … Continue reading Fine day for a First Friday: Heather Carr
Tangible: Hanna Friesen
I've had my share of what I call a kicking up of the dust and dirt-- have raised a little hell- I must say- I must admit. Am not proud of it, but have to come to terms with it. So this is my confession, you get to listen in on. I need to say … Continue reading Tangible: Hanna Friesen

Memories: Betty Carmichael

The carefree days of childhood the growing pains of youth, a few illusions shattered in the endless search for truth. Yes, … Continue reading Memories: Betty Carmichael
Space Adventure: Jordan Derksen
This is a story, I can only tell you now. It is true and still very unbelievable. I was a scientist, more of a garage tinkerer. When I made an amazing discovery, of anti-gravity. I had made a proto type. Equal to the Wright brothers first plane. I constructed a frame and built a cockpit … Continue reading Space Adventure: Jordan Derksen
