A basketball player who discovers he has a rare genetic mutation that gives him superpowers, but also attracts the attention of a sinister organization. . Content Warning.
In the heart of the championship game, the arena pulsated with the roar of the crowd. As I dribbled down the court, the seconds ticking away, I felt an electrifying surge within me. With a leap that defied gravity, I soared toward the basket, unleashing a dunk that left the spectators in awe. Little did I know, that in that moment of athletic prowess, I had set in motion a sequence of events that would change my life forever.

For President
I like Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson. Not for his livelihood or the slavery issue. But Thomas Jefferson embodied the American Dream into his unique ideology. It was Jefferson who pinned the words life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It was Jefferson who eloquently declared our Declaration of Independence. I am honored to be president. I am honored to stand for those ideologies. I am honored to be the Executive who can make America a more peaceful, friendly and just nation, said President Pope. And at the news conference for his reelection he announced that he would seek a second term with his vice president Ms. Robinham who was from Wyoming. In the current polls, Pope has a leading charge because of his war record and the economy. And because Pope chose a woman to be his vice president. Ms. Robinham served as Wyoming's longest governor before becoming the vice president. And she was a strong, mid-age, and determined woman who earned her stripes in politics. Pope met Robinham when they both were competing for the Democratic nomination. Pope overwhemingly won because he was a war hero and he knew how to lead and charge. Pope used his successful military career. And he used his charm as an experience politician plus seeing he was a presidential favorite. Pope had numerous of endorsements. And he was experienced in politics as a longtime Congressional Representative from California. He made numerous of friends in Washington working on both sides of the aisle and using bipartisanship as a key part of his legacy. Pope was always successful, it took him four times to actually win the nomination. And his first was that he was too young. And his second and third, voters felt it was not the right time for his presidency. Then Pope waited long enough and work hard enough, and he overwhemingly won the nomination which lead to his first term.

Is Writing My Future? . Top Story - November 2023.
I write because I honestly can’t draw what I see in my head. No, but really, why do I write? Why do I waste time sitting in front of blank screens and empty pieces of paper, the pristine white taunting me, pushing me away, telling me not to come back unless I actually have a good idea?

Poetry? But Why?
Introduction These are just my own thoughts on poetry, they are not right, wrong, or definitive and you may completely disagree with me. These thoughts may be repetitions of things I have already shared on Vocal and are mainly about how I feel and execute my poetry.

The Celestial Lyre: Alaric's Harmonic Odyssey
Veilwood remained as an embroidery of murmurs in the core of an old timberland — a domain where the progression of time wove an ensemble of neglected reverberations. At the focal point of this spiritualist territory rose the Stronghold of Forever, an excellent landmark that gleamed with an ethereal iridescence. Inside its blessed corridors lived Alaric, a youthful student whose eyes held the insight of ages, drawn powerfully toward unwinding the cryptic orchestra of time.

WINNERS! – Grocery List Challenge
When I started this challenge, I was not expecting as many entries as I got. Why? I worried it was too restrictive, perhaps off-putting. After all, my goal for setting this up was to encourage minimalism. A grocery-list (or shopping-list) poem seems easy at first glance, but when you sit down to start, it quickly becomes clear there is a narrow path forward. How can just a few items imply a whole story, emotional depth and complexity, get to the heart of daily life?

What Makes a Slang Word Useful?
Living outside of the Philadelphia area for most of my life, I’ve seen my fair share of slang words enter and leave the fray. Some of them are amusing, some of them are useful, and some are outright pointless and forgettable. But it never really occured to me that there might actually be ways of truly assessing a slang word’s value. There are standards that linguists and philologists use to measure what a new word or phrase provides.
