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

Force: Robert St. Germain

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

People will try to force change on others.Although, you can’t help people by killing them.Most of us never change anyways.And some people pretend to.The best you can do is let people be who they are.You can be the bully, but it won’t change anyone.Forcing someone will just push them further away.Then you will lose them … Continue reading Force: Robert St. Germain

A Dream: Robert St. Germain

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

It’s time to reach for a dream. It may work out or so it seems. Now is time to believe. And maybe I will feel relieved. Now I can feel better about myself. I see the road ahead to better mental health. Even if it doesn’t work out as I planned. I can give myself a hand. All I can do is give … Continue reading A Dream: Robert St. Germain

Microchip: Robert St. Germain

08/17/202408/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Soon everyone will have a microchip in their brain.If you want to buy something all you have to do is think about it.And it will appear at your front door.You will talk to you friends in your thoughts.You will have access to the whole world in your mind,but, beware.The police will be able to track … Continue reading Microchip: Robert St. Germain

The Blues: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

My heart, has always been in another place.As she spoke, I’d nod with aggression,While starring right through her.I was anything but caught in her aura.Somehow, I failed to be captivated, by my own creation.I barely got over, that we shared the same sky;Never mind, the gravity of the force that was supposed to anchor me … Continue reading The Blues: Brittney Fox
