I have a proposed publisher feature due to air shortly Debbie (hoping I haven't jinxed it by saying that). I'll post it here when it does appear. 💚

That's lovely to hear Whozza 😎

Thank you for this unexpected boost Debbie. I am touched that you refer to my writing 'with originality, truth and verve'. Finding all three has taken five years.
The showcase you highlighted was quite a while ago; it comes from what I'd call my scattergun period: trying everything and anything! 💚

Yes, Debra is an insightful and enthusiastic supporter and contributor to the #PoemsAbout community. 🔥

Hello, and welcome to #PoemsAbout. Yes, Alan is taking time out, but the community is very much alive, and busy liking, commenting and reposting the weekly Friday theme. Join us if you feel inspired. 🔥

Yes, this week is #LockedDoors.
I'm sure another prompt will arrive before the 14th.

Echoing that theme of mannequin, these three have most definitely flat-lined for me. The colour has completely drained out of them.

It is a harrowing image Stace. Speak these things and their power over you is diminished.

Thank you Debra. I try to find something each week in replies to reflect the underlying psychic energy and direction.
Ack, just muddling along like everyone.

Bookmarked 🙂

Ooh! Sounds like it might be 'fun'! 😎

Yes, we are wired to find trust. The magicians are always there.

I recognise the former (I have two daughters). I have a hint of the latter (one daughter trained as a paediatric nurse). 💚
