Renee Nicole Good by Thomas Wells

Renee Nicole Good,poet, writer, mother of three.A domestic terrorist.           She had it coming to her!Stuffed animals in her glove compartment,the family dog in the backseat.

Hope is Relentless by Thomas Wells

There is a persistent embrace,a longing and a kissing,a childlike giggling,a free and predictable smile. Life foresees every dawning,foretastes every light ray,foretells every essence,forecasts every ambience.

But the terrain before us is vast.The dense forest and effulgent meadows ahead … Continue reading The Hinterland by Thomas Wells

Sky by Thomas Wells

Everyone owns a piece, a furrowed canopy casting dimness and light, a measureless magnitude of rapture and defeat.

In temperamental squalls, tormenting dark wrinkles restless with despair, fling violent raindrops, hurtling us into prolonged deluge. But … Continue reading Sky by Thomas Wells
