Good times, bad times... We live, we die - passing so quickly... What for, we ask - Why? We learn to earn - to live and yearn for love, for family to serve, fill a void, to find a reason for just being... to finally find out what it's all about: in the grand scheme, all that matters is... Love

Lake Groton in the morning – end-of-summer day picture in still motion – not a breath of air out on the pier, a retriever takes her stance stunning in her silhouette of palest golden hair every sense on high alert – her focus undeterred head held high, chest out, legs and tail just right with perfect conformation, much to our delight but toss a frisbee o’er the water – this dog’s out of sight © Lorene Rogers 3-14-2023

I don't have much to offer I cannot cook a meal I cannot dance flamenco or tell you how it feels to play the castanets to twirl my satin skirt or tap my dancing heels... but I can sing a love song and I can pen a poem I can write a romance and make a house a home ©️ Lorene Rogers 5-11-23

I didn't realize how shallow you could be; always ready with a mouthful of games, ready to spew out your heartaches on me I've become a punching bag for all the pains of your past; and I take it, hit for hit, again and again, pain after pain; your past life haunting our days and nights I'm not ready to fight your fights You knock me down and I get back up until you have the audacity to tell me you've had enough Needing me only to drink your lies so that you can sleep at night So convenient for rich little boys like you ~ ©️ Priya Patel, Jan 21, 24 🕉 Artist is Akash Bhisikar

I remember … painting the oils and watercolors, charcoal drawings of a musclebound Marlboro man and four-hour poses of a well-rounded woman - both in the nude and paid by the hour. Then something happened - doctors unclear - light became terrible, sounds unbearable. Like a caged bird - a prisoner in bed - I was weak and depressed.... without any power. With time as my friend, I started to mend... but the virus, the gene - call it whatever - had taken its toll... walking, painting, driving, everything – a challenge. But I could create art, petal by petal, from a pressed flower. Art & Poem ©L G Rogers 2021
