Chris Davies Guest Poet He opened his eyes that morning; with surprise. From the muffled warmth, he was loathe to rise. His joints a symphony of snap, crackle, pop He arose and then back to bed did flop. The aged hero of many a dream No longer held in prurient esteem The wrinkles, bags, and… Continue reading Louis Prompt

Nimbus Guest Writer When stargazing, I see the occasional shooting star and think of the incredibly unlikely odds of seeing one.

Chris Davies Guest Poet The old pilot awoke with a start and sat up on the edge of the bed. His heart was racing, and he took deep breaths to force himself to relax.
