I'd Love to Fall
This is definitely inspired by my Muse, and the music is "Book Of Love" by Peter Gabriel covering The Magnetic Fields original. It's one that I attempted too, and you can listen to that at the end of this poem. It is truly a beautiful song.

Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde
Introduction My apologies if you thought this was going to be an analysis of the Robert Louis Stevenson creation, it’s not but I am using the analogy to tell you something about my own situation. I have certainly mentioned this in past pieces and hope that it may explain why I am like I am at certain times.

Changing Of The Guard
Introduction The song “Changing of the Guard” from Bob Dylan’s “Street Legal” came on and I started thinking about how things change in our lives sometimes for good, sometimes not so good, sometimes our choice, sometimes not our choice.

XVAR
Introduction The letters “VAXR” came into my head and I thought how could that be a story? I then rearranged them to “XVAR” because I thought that VAXR was close to Vaxxer and that might cause ructions with COVID anti-vaxxers. However, I think everyone who can be safely vaccinated should be vaccinated, I know so many people who have been affected by and frightened by the effects of COVID that I believe I should do everything I can to stop the spread of the virus, but that is way off the target of this piece of fiction. However, the end could be the same.

The Break-Up
Introduction The cover image was borrowed from this site It's now 2023, and this is my first post of 2023, and I decided to pick a first album to play this year and chose "London Calling", the Clash's signature album which is full of incredible songs covering many styles complete with the Elvis Presley influenced typography on the cover of the album.

Here Comes 2023

The Confessions Of Dr Dream
This is for the Vocal Full Moon Challenge that you can read about below. The music I have chosen is "It Begins with a Blessing-Once I Awakened-But it Ends with a Curse" by Kevin Ayers from the album "The Confessions of Doctor Dream" which contains the line "Get Out Of My Dream" that inspired this after reading story "The Girl With The 3rd Eye" by my friend Cindy. The story link is at the end of this poem.

The Millenial Post. Top Story - December 2022.
Introduction This is my thousandth story on Vocal. I certainly didn't expect this and wasn't sure whether this would be a poem or something more involved. On thinking, the poem limit on Vocal is just a hundred words and at this point, I have already written fifty words and I have not yet begun to say what I want to say.
