Imaginations
How do you hold on to the memories of people who have died?
Take time to reflect.
Take time to see the
Beauty in life once
It is extinguished
In a true loved one.
That’s when the closing
Bell sounds. Everything
That you invested
Into this person,
Liquidation takes
Precedence. Like the
Severing of ties
In a contract, you
No longer deal with
This special person.
Of course, end of life
Functions remain the
Big business of death.
And rightfully so.
But you and that one
You loved had taken
The time out of life
To reconsider
Just how precious this
Life is. So, when they've
Drawn their final breath
Let it be known that
They will not end up
In some fantasy
Land. But that they will
Be like dancers in
Imaginations.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
