A pad challenge response from Linda M Crate

where my magic is understood
dragons in flight, freed from
the tethers of anyone's need
are so beautiful to watch;

but there's a part of me that
also wants to escape
on the back of one into another
realm where i am warmly
accepted and loved
where my magic is understood—

some forgotten princess
which is suddenly remembered,

pulled away from a reality where
she doesn't feel known
or appreciated;

ever since i was a little girl i thought
perhaps if i were good enough
my father would come find me
and take me home—

sometimes he was a prince
or a king,
but usually he was a vampire.

A pad challenge response from Linda M Crate

no night sky without darkness
memories are occasionally
a tragedy,
i think my mom thinks i want
to be sad sometimes;

but i don’t really choose to be—

sometimes my brain takes a
trip to memory lane,
and all i can think of are the things
which hurt me;

there’s love and light in my life
but those echoes seem too soft

in comparison with all the hurt i
have either have had to face
or overcome—

memories last forever,
the impact of words and deeds
matters;
and i will not apologize for the way
i process things—

there would be no night sky
without a bit of darkness,
but i won’t let the darkness swallow
all of my light.

Another Response From Linda M. Crate to the Pad Challenge

to where i began
no foundation
to stand on,
always feel like the
sand beneath my
feet is going to give out;
will i be falling through
stars until i land in
the right universe?
i can't shake the feeling
that this is the wrong one,
no one seems to
understand me here;
and no one has ever loved
me the way i needed
to be loved—
no one seems capable
of appreciating me and all of
my magic,
perhaps i just need to
let the sand be washed away;
maybe the ocean can
take me back to where i began
and i can find my home and
these restless bones of mine
can find rest.

Jennifer Elliott’s response to the pad challenge



I sit on the screened in porch
As night falls
This summer night
I enjoy the song of the forest around me
The crickets sing loudest
The frogs are second 
But they are not as lovely 
As the symphony the crickets are singing

A pad challenge response from Linda M Crate

they won’t steal my magic
piracy of hope
is like when nightmares
steal the light of
dreams,

but i won’t let anyone
dim my magic
or my light;

they may come for it—

but i am well versed
in cutting thorns
and making my tongue a
sword,

all they will find here
is their ruin;

won’t sacrifice
myself or my magic
for anyone—

i will always be the one
who protects
hopes and dreams fiercely
with everything i have.
