Prompt: What’s a word or phrase that annoys you? The word “literally,” oh, how I loathe,It’s literally used, I swear on my oath,For things that are not, in the truest of sense,So literally wrong, it makes my brain tense.My head literally spins when I hear,“I literally died,” though they’re literally here.Or “My heart literally broke,” …

Sherlock Holmes – A moan, then a poem…
My disappointment in the widely acclaimed works of Sherlock Holmes, finding the writing poor, grammar questionable, and plots predictable.

The Bearing of the Name
Prompt: What is your mission? The Bearing of the NameWe do not peddle polished hope in markets loud and cheap,Nor hang salvation like a shawl on shoulders bent with sleep.This is no bright and easy coin to clink upon the stone,But something nearer to a seed a sower casts, alone,Into the unplowed, waiting dark where …
