This beautifully written piece from Angela Hepworth was one of my favorite reads this week: https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/the-tree-of-me%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I want to use this medium to share my incredible manifesting with Dr. Kachi, who truly changed my life. For a long time, I struggled with homelessness after losing my job as a nurse. Life felt like an endless battle, and I spent many years trying to win the lottery, hoping for a better future. But despite my efforts, I had no success and was growing increasingly frustrated. That was until I came across an amazing testimony from a woman named Natasha, who shared how Dr. Kachi helped her win the National EuroMillions jackpot. I had always loved playing EuroMillions, but winning seemed impossible for me. However, after seeing Natasha's story, I decided to reach out to Dr. Kachi prepared a special spell to help me with guaranteed lucky numbers. Within 24 hours, he provided me with the winning numbers and instructed me to play. To my amazement, I won £184.656 million in the EuroMillions! Thanks to Dr. Kachi, my life has been transformed, and my financial situation has changed for the better. I will never forget this joyful moment, as it has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If you’re struggling and seeking a way out, never give up. Dr. Kachi can help you, just as he helped me. Keep your faith and take a chance – your life could change too! contact website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site his email [email protected] or his phone text or call number: +1 (209) 893-8075
Hi. Love this poem by Kara Bruno. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/silent-goodbyes-5c22g0esg%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Hello everyone I am syed writer on vocal my goal is to create pieces that connect deeply whether through imagination,reflection or motivation and i have just stepped into the vocal platform .I would be honored if you could visit my profile.Those who choose to follow and support me will find my support,respect and attention in equall measure.
In no particular order 😘Some of the links below did not come with my comments attached and that’s just because my comments are long. So again in no particular order, this was probably the order I read them in. There should be way more, but I got lazy with the copy and pasting. faline salisburg https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/wet-jeans-and-inner-screams-y15mr0a0v?modal=open My comment: I will begin again by listening. This fable was fantastic. I love the blend between denim on wet legs and the screams from the rabbit, that it ultimately went quiet - the damage done when left behind to go numb. The conversation between the owl and rabbit was enlightening. The rabbit being the student and the owl, the teacher. Fantastic work Faline 👏🏽👌🏽♥️🤗 Paul Stewart https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/mid-breath-mid-fall%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E My comment: What a beautiful journey through your mind and thoughts gilded in greek mythology. I like that the language was separate from your everyday speech, it pulls us back in time, and brings the journey alive. The words in bold really helps the transition from one line to the other. I like that it's dramatised, especially here. '...inhale, exhale...' I like the pondering at the end. Whether you could ever feel so heroic. Fantastic work Paul 👏🏾👌🏾🤗❤️ Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/midnight-lnventory%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E A calm slow pace, contemplative thought to your day. I like especially these two lines in the first stanza. 'I wonder if my breath is kind enough for the quiet world around me' Okay. Goosebumps. The bit about your skin. Smelling fresh. The timing between the first thought made it goosebump inducing. Leaving your hair as it is. Is the better choice. Leads you further into the arms of self love. 'Make me desirable' more goosebumps. This poem was so vulnerable, the slow unwinding is incredible. Outstanding work Cathy 'In a way that fits' I pray these words for you🤗❤️ L.I.E https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/not-friends%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E My comment: Conversational. I love the question at the start. Slowly zipping and closing us into the subject matter. Personal ~ delusional I see the connection. The flow is great. But these two last lines have me fan gurling. 'i see the wrong but I need the good,' 'I see the bad but I need his right' Star Love Grey https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/just-a-thought-before-i-go%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E My comment: The way you write and the thoughts you bounced through and from, makes this fascinating to read. I especially like the many T words used in the first line. I like how you know so much about how dopamine induced hallucinations work. I like how you described them as like doormen. 'Just a thought before I go, sent from my iPhone' outstanding. I think this one is my favourite line. You held this poem together nicely. No jumping around and leaving loose ends. The flow was smooth and it left a lasting impression. Well done 🤗❤️👏🏾👌🏾 Due to how large my comments are. I am going to just copy and paste the links of all the others.

Hello creators, I am DJ Nuclear Winter. My creations revolve around poetry, politics, and music with a recent series exploring the career of Sabrina Carpenter. I highly recommend "Rooftop Confession" by Brie Boleyn. The piece has a natural breath, a satisfying pulse of well-stitched clichés and unmitigated love. The warmth is familiar, nostalgic even. A declaration of surrendering to that wonderful feeling. Please check the piece out and please take care of yourselves. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/rooftop-confession%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
There are so many wonderful creators on Vocal but today I want to highlight Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh. I love how openly she discuss her faith and shares her personal revelations in this beautiful piece. I read it in a moment I needed a reminder of my own faith and before what ended up being an incredibly emotional and exhausting day. How often her words came back to my mind to help carry me through the day is a testament to the power of this piece. https://shopping-feedback.today/confessions/does-jesus-know-you-love-him%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
My name is Kimberly Egan. I write mostly for Petlife, but have occasionally written some fiction. I wanted to recommend the story "Misidentified & Misunderstood," by Dr. Mozelle Martin. It addresses something that's SO prevalent in shelters and is SO responsible for breed and dog hatred in the general public. https://shopping-feedback.today/petlife/misidentified-and-misunderstood%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Stephanie Hoogstad here, mostly a fiction writer and poet. I just wanted to bring attention to Matthew Fromm's microfiction "First Shift", a bittersweet piece on generational trauma: https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/first-shift-0wjni0tr7%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E.%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
