I like the Trump meme - I understand he was born again but came back as himself

alliteration for emphasis ,if used sparingly, but maxed out as in your micro tale it becomes humour of exaggeration along the lines of Peter Piper...but these creative exercises stimulate artistic ingenuity,

You are an adventurous soul, my friend - homemade air craft and now roller coasters! The most adventurous I get is getting on planes and given the state of the airplane industry lately, that's adventure

Thanks, Creatr, and beautiful music as well...moody as a walk in the rain - always loved this Christmas carol with its dark strains

A man's true wealth does not depend on things alone in this world. Judging by your photos, you are truly blessed. Happy Birthday!

It's hard to quibble over table manners when the offender is so cute, lol

A timely message. It's always the case - some have, some have not. Matter divides but spirit unites. You have the right spirit.

I love the first one...that business about proverbs containing wisdom? Well yeah, the same way as an after-thought, ha ha

that third one...politically correct, but I wouldn't use it, lol

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, @fenngen - Yes, Jed and Jim are opposites in many respects and I was fascinated with how they'd interact. Thanks for the encouragement.

You're very welcome

Thanks

I liked your poem. I think poetry is well accepted on this platform but it takes a lot of patience to get established and have a following. May I suggest that you don't put the tag (Poetry) in the title

A strangely interesting post because it contains enough material for 3 posts - your gloves and the cold computer room, the cat and the market. I would have chosen one and explored my feelings about it

I like your view of creativity because ultimately genius comes down to following your own light and having your own voice and you certainly have that :)

thank you

thanks

sometimes I write simply to recreate the ambiance of the moment - as if the elements that compose that experience can be summoned again and conjured up to reproduce the same effect
