Women Dream Don’t They

written by: Ladybug

Dreams flow in on thunder claps of darkened sky,
Amid beguiling life strife and toilsome burdens.
Women dream, don’t they, and move beyond
What seems limited, bound for unfulfilling moments?

Women dream in colors, schemes, and bountiful images.
They climb successful ladders of corporate hob-knob
And dare to yell their heart-felt dreams above the clouds.
Strong, purposeful, and sensitive are they and oh so bold.

Women dare to dream don’t they and emit their own thunder?
In claps of dominant traits and volcanic ash of pursuit.
Women dream their dreams without failing to feel,
What is important and held unfathomed in the world.

Women dream don’t they and possess mentality of success?
Dare they pursue their dreams within their own domain?
Yes, women can dream and spew ash and thunder claps.
Amidst life’s tragedies they rise, they rise to dream again.

I am a seventy-year-old writer, having been writing over forty years. I was previously published by Catholic Digest, Our Sunday Visitor, Sisters Today, Make 4 Fun and Back Porch Magazine. I had two children’s stories published by Bread ‘N Molasses. I was the only Southern writer in the Our Sunday Visitor Christmas writing contest in 2007. I am having two children’s audio books and two articles published in 2023. Although I reside in Oregon with my daughters and two cats, I have lived most of my life in Louisiana. I also do logic puzzles and design graphics. My ‘Southern Belle’ charm comes through in my writings.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
