Obsolescence: Brittney Fox

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I’ll decipher your matrix, in anticipation for your love.I’ll be there when push comes to shove.I’ll decode the doubts that you speak thereof. I’ll dance with your demons to develop your higher devotion.Like a dishonest damsel, watch me toy with your abscondence emotions.I’m your third-person omniscient.I embody your obsolescence. I’ll dangle myself in front of … Continue reading Obsolescence: Brittney Fox

Losing Streak: Cassandra Kulay

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I’ve been on a losing streak, waiting for my troubles to recede,  nothing I do turns out right, I struggle to perceive it, but I can’t see the light. I’ve been dealt a bad hand, and, playing the game, has lost its luster, I feel so alone, even in the company of others. Everything is overwhelming, an assault on the senses, I … Continue reading Losing Streak: Cassandra Kulay

Make it Right: James Adamson

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the Glory of God To Gwyneth, with Love  Saved your life It’s all in your hands Everything can go either way Everyone has a chance Crashing the car to avoid the baby carriage Turning on the light in a dark room Making use of the wind Letting it go Going skiing or skating Embarrassing the land The bear kills his dad But the environment is saved The … Continue reading Make it Right: James Adamson

Preacher: Robert St. Germain

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am a preacher because I preach the truth. I just want a better world for our youth. I do not preach inside a church. Although my thoughts still have some worth. I speak my mind and express how I feel. You can be for sure that I am for real. You may disagree. But, all I want is to set you … Continue reading Preacher: Robert St. Germain

The Vixen: Richard Edwards

09/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Sultry vixen you smile I am yours you have cast a spell upon me I will journey the seven seas  to be with thee you look at me the chains of contentment dissolve and fall away as you hand me  my manacles I am yours, vixen yours!   I scream! I beg with god to be  I cannot be free when these manacles are upon my wrists I … Continue reading The Vixen: Richard Edwards

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
