Paper Dragon
Just a little passed the kettle popcorn, rainbow pasta and jars of pickled things I didn’t know you could pickle, I was minutes away from meeting her.

A woman who saved The Crown that saved me
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, a Roman Emperor had a mother. Something was not right as chills grew up her spine,

Why today isn’t a Good Friday
Clears throat. Is this thing on? I woke up today and thanked the Lord for today. Not because it’s Friday and thats good, or because the stock market is closed and I’m sitting poolside with a copy of Margaret Atwood.

Calling all Poets!. Top Story - April 2025.
******* CHALLENGE-CLOSED********* SEE BELOW FOR WINNERS Is it just me or has it been awhile since we have challenged ourselves to the language of poetry?! A haiku, acrostic, abecedarian etc?! I sure miss it. And I miss when Vocal would host different literary poetry challenges. So, I’m feeling spontaneous and hoping you are too! In honor of April dedicating a whole month to us fellow poets, I am hosting an unofficial poetry challenge.

A Writer in Paris . Top Story - March 2025.
A writer in Paris. Do they exist? How does one even get such a title.Or is it just an ‘instagram vs. reality’ fictional character, in a fictional world, Sex and the City type-thingy? It’s got to be a monologue or some sort of identity crisis that someone coins themself within their mind to make them feel like their craft is of great importance -right?

How I write my Poems 01.. Top Story - November 2024.
Previously, I published my first ever exclusive story on Vocal. My plan was to host mini poetry workshops, revealing how I replace certain words with more grappling English that bribes the reader to shovel around their thoughts. But due to the fact that I have started a job that requires me to write weekly I am going to do away with exclusive stories and just post the mini workshops sporadically here with everyone instead of having to commit to exclusive blogging.

Choose your hard . Runner-Up in Echoes of the Year’s Lessons Challenge.
This year, huh? Wow. Man, this challenge couldn’t come at a better time. This year sure was good to me. Unconventionally good. Still waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out of the bushes and tell me that I’m being punk’d (wow, that just gave away my age like, whoa).
