Diagrams of Sentences
I have an idea that could be many pieces of writing and art for I was reading and commenting on my notifications and other stories. While, scrolling through others works I stopped on one that brought back a very fond memory for me, although it is an odd one, but here goes. I am going to hunt for varied lengths of sentences and diagram them as artwork for some are very intricate almost like advanced math problems. The images will be the diagrams with a brief description. Some will be short and some very long. Please comment on this idea.

🎼 Music: The Language That Speaks When Words Fail . AI-Generated.
Have you ever listened to a song and felt like it was telling your story—without a single word? Music is a universal language, but not in the way we usually think of language. It doesn’t rely on grammar or vocabulary. Instead, it uses rhythm, melody, harmony, and silence to speak directly to our emotions.

“Things My Father Never Told Me”
My father was a quiet man. He wasn’t cruel. He didn’t drink. He didn’t raise his voice. But he didn’t speak much, either. Conversations with him were like walking through fog—vague, cool, and over before you realized where you were going.

Why am I in the dark, Vocal?
Why am I in the dark, Vocal? I remember the enjoyment of writing poetry, knowing I would show no one. Then I decided to share, I put lots of poetry out there. People loved it. I gave it my all. Joining Vocal was the best day of all. Yet even though my work was and is good, I am held back by Vocal. I feel just not good enough. Maybe it’s just a passing thing, maybe. Maybe it will right itself or again be a praised thing. Vocal really should treat all the same, not put the same names up there every week to win and get all the fame. We all deserve a little praise as we write our hearts out on good and bad days. We pay the same yearly fees, so treat us all right. My poetry at least deserves that right.

Monday morning chores
Well, another Monday morning and it's chore day for me. Usually, the first easy chore to do is to make my coffee and empty the dishwasher. After that it all depends on what I feel needs done. Laundry is started and after sharing this short article decided to vacuum the living room furniture and rugs followed by dusting the furniture. The beds have already been made, and the dogs have been walked and fed even though that everyday chore which is not really a chore is the first to be done. Who has a particular day for their chore day?

Whispers of The Soul
I tasted death in the air, like cigarette ashes on my tongue. The thick woodsy flames that rose up on my father left patches of missing skin. His oils didn’t help with the stiff, leathery, charred-black skin that never grew back. It smelled like bleach and gasoline with a sharp stench of acrid.
