Poetry Humour

Family separation. Kids are separated from good, law abiding, American parents and others all over the world every day through "Family Court" systems. Can you imagine what it’s like to NOT have the phone number, address, or email of your own children, and be blocked from all forms of social media? You can, if you are an alienated, erased, or amputated parent. Do you know what it’s like to enter your own child’s name into an internet search to satisfy your natural urge to know if they are dead or alive?

Kathryn Tucker Windham begins this montage of stories with the sounds of summer and ends with a joyful Christmas memory.

Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? is a wonderful collection of poems about love in all its forms, covering everything from romantic love to familial love, to long-distance love and even love on the internet. The collection also features poems about the true passions for many booklovers, reading and literature, and the odd one about the subject causing many of us heartbreak: politics. With titles like ‘Hold My Hand While We Jump Off This Cliff’ and ‘Remembrance of Things Pasta’, there’s something for even the most jaded romantic within.

Poetry Cubed, Volume 3 is my third attempt at collecting my writing into something for people to enjoy.

After the loss of my wife, Michele, in April of 2020 (we were together for fifty-six years), my heartache overwhelmed me.

I hope they help you possibly as much as they helped me.

Satirisch bissig oder poetisch melancholisch performt René Sydow seine kabarettistischen Slam-Texte und entführt uns in seine Welt der intelligenten Wortakrobatik. Seine Texte sind eine Einladung zum Mit- und Gegendenken. Was biographisch klingt, ist in der Regel geflunkert, nur das Unwahrscheinlichste ist tatsächlich passiert. Was lustig anmutet, hat einen ernsten Hintergrund und was zornig scheint, ist Satire.

Light a Fire is poetic, describing a girl's first, and what leads to a woman's reflection. BeeKels ArtOrigins describes a world of woman and man.
