Moving Towards Positivity. Top Story - August 2022.
Introduction I see a lot of posts and memes that focus on negativity. Often people say they are done with being kind or giving second chances and they will only be happy with taking revenge for some wrong or another. This can even generate hate which is never a good thing. While I can become angry with some events and even people I never let it degenerate into hate because that is a destructive situation and usually I am not in full knowledge of all the facts behind what happened.

Get Comfortable In My Villanelle
This is my second new entry into the Vocal "Get Comfortable" Challenge I thought a villanelle would be a good form to try for this challenge, to emphasis how we all love to get comfortable. There is also a lot of love and a little Hygge in there too.

Calliope's Wings
This is a surreal sonnet drawing on classical mythology inspired by my wonderful Muse In Greek mythology, Calliope ('beautiful voiced), the daughter of Zeus and the Titan goddess Mnemosyne, is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called from the ecstatic harmony of her voice. Hesiod and Ovid called her the "Chief of all Muses"

Grief
This is inspired by an instagram meme that I shared which is the lead image. Loss of a loved one is difficult to deal with but it is something that we all may have to do at some point in our lives, or we may have already done that and are still dealing with the loss.

Comfort
This is my first new entry into the Vocal "Get Comfortable" Challenge This is an attempt at a Fibonacci poem (FIB) brought to my attention by Dharrsheena Raja Segarran’s poem “The Teardrop Crown” which you can read below, but with an acrostic format which requires an extra line.

No Pussyfooting
The Mirrored Blue Room How Do You? Talk about an album that has no formal tunes and is just sounds. This is what I am trying to do with “No Pussyfooting” by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. Robert Fripp is the guitarist and main man with progressive rock band King Crimson and Brian Eno began his mainstream exposure as Roxy Music’s non-musician specialising in electronics and treatments. Brian Eno is credited with the invention of Ambient Music when he was ill listening to a record but the sound was too low but he couldn’t get up to turn it up slightly but he could hear the music or sound in the distance.
