"I'm so sorry to hear this. Every moment of our time here is precious, and Ralph made it better for many in this community. Prayers for his family and close friends.
Peace and Love to all here,"
"Antithesis to 'Rage' (with apologies to Dylan Thomas) written to my mother on her death bed last January at age 89. And apologies to those here, since I did not write this today. She was able to smile through her cancer almost to the…"

speckled with dark ever green
pale violet clouds of buds
sprays of innocent yellow
one subtle color emerges
nature’s capillaries exploding
sucking earth’s restoratives

Para's Daily Writing Challenge
Welcome! This group is designed for people who want to exercise their writing muscles daily and keep in shape. You need not come daily, stop in whenever you'd like to work on a challenge. Writes that you post in comment do not need to be masterpieces. This is for exercise, although you never know when a masterpiece will pop out! That's the best part! I will post a new challenge 6 days a week (even God and Para need a day of rest lol). Keep writing, my friends...See More

"Wow! And up hill too. That deer could weigh over 100 pounds. And it's not cleaned. Ugh. Thanks for sharing."
"Thank you Tammy. It came yesterday afternoon... sent it back this evening. Been thinking about trying to cut back on the number I get... I'm sure you get more... but I have limited time and get from 90 to 120 a day.
Thanks again"
"Congratulations Tammy on winning the collab, and good luck toward that BA in English. I'm sure the U magazine will be a beauty. Is this issue four?
Peace and Love,"

(p)reaching, screeching, leaching
searching for effect, trying to reflect
what’s in the book, without a look
there’s no gray, too often all the same
I’m right you’re wrong, all along it’s lame
stomp, pomp, and circumstance
am I to blame if it’s on too long
sump pump muck stunk to the end

I'm passing this on because it worked for me today...Dr Oz on TV said that to reach inner peace we should always finish things we start, and we all could use more calm in our lives during the hectic Holiday season. I looked around my house to find things I'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiuminun scriptins, an a box a chocletz.

Prose Fiction Novels and Short Stories
Ralphy's last story: A Toast to You
While we were assembling Issue 4 of U Magazine, Ralphy sent me a story he'd recently written and asked me to edit it for him. I did so, checked the editing with Mari, and got Ralphy's approval of the resulting manuscript. We then included the first half of the story in Issue 4; some members of ME will already have read it.
I now attach the whole story, A Toast to You, in its author's memory. It's typical of his slightly surreal wit and imagination - a lovely piece of…
Mad Fab Collab!
Never
Speak soft your words my love
I hear music in your voice
tender kisses from thy lips
a warmth that fuels in me desires
bursting at the seams to be quenched.
Enter into me, slow and sweet
our bodies measuring in heat and motion
we come together, our essence
uniting with the universe
until I am left helpless
a vulnerable, quivering mass
explosions of pure joy escapes my eyes.
Kiss away the tears my love
hold me tight until the Sandman finds me
then leave me to wake in the light and wither away
again, a vulnerable, quivering mass
with tears of unspeakable ache escaping my eyes
and a hollow that once held my heart
gone now, taken away with the dawn
stolen sometime in the night when you left
and went home to her.
Each night I die a little more
dreaming of what can never be
as I have found you
just a little too late.
Tammy Hendrix
