THE TRUTH ABOUT UNSPEAKABLE THINGS.
Kept hidden by the victims.

Thinking best no one knows.
Feel at fault for happening.

Add to that intended threats.
Living every day with fear.

Must pretend everything is alright.
So other's lives not interrupted.

It's a catch 22 situation.
Perpetrator free to do again.

To someone else besides them.
"Victims" too stressed to consider.

This story travels many roads.
Takes us for a spin.

Swirling amongst all the negatives.
Revealing positives that lie within.

Had my attention for sure.
I know will for you!

EBook Review: JOEY by Nina Dallas

JOEY and Angela meet,
definitely like each other.

What holds her back,
knows she is attracted.

Such a handsome man,
and oh so nice.

Burned in the past,
with relationships being cautious.

Urging them with encouragement,
their friends and family.

Story packed with surprises,
just jump on in.

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR ACCOUNTS, rarely read.
Today few want, to know.

Yet very important, they do.
Currently history is, repeating itself.

Hatred and racism, on rise.
More and more, narcissistic leaders.

With support of, biased base.
Prone to violence, and takeover.

Silent bystanders don't, speak out.
Leads to insurrection, and divisiveness.

NOT what want, very dangerous.
USA a democracy, not autocratic.

To purposely not, be bipartisan.
Year after year, speaks volumes.

Then those not, like you...
Are actively dehumanized, and rejected.

Walls built to, keep out.
Or to isolate, and punish.

Read the stories, of before.
Before "we" do, once again.

THE SIXTH sense.
Is suddenly activated.

Brought together again.
Under different circumstances.

Came as surprise.
Just doing business.

Sparks do fly.
Should they douse?

Life has changed.
Neither the same.

Gets quite descriptive.
Feel like there.

Lots of detail.
In short story.

A great beginning.
Where goes now?

Will be interesting.
That I'm sure.

A PLEASURABLE ACCIDENT,  from the start.
Hard to believe, so moved on.

Or so thought, soon meet again.
Both recovering from, life's hard lessons.

Hard reading through, the grammar roadblocks.
Slows and confuses, the reading process.

Lots of promise, glad short story.
Kept on going, book is good.

See how ends, won't be disappointed.
Characters are likeable, smiling for them.

BloodMoon in the sky.
Foretells someone to die.

Who might that be?
Just wait and see?

Must play cards given?
Stray and be forgiven?

It's a unique partnership.
One wouldn't have pictured.

It works quite well.
In head don't dwell.

Go get book yourself.
Follow along with stealth.

COPY CAT, seeing double?
Or is, there trouble?

Why is, everything different?
Their denial, quite proficient.

Let's get, into story.
And take, an inventory.

You won't, be disappointed.
The answer, quite  poignant.

A YEAR IN TREBLINKA, captured in detail.
Seen through his eyes, cannot be denied.

Though many will try, ignoring their part.
But ashes and bones, reveal their lies.

En masse brought down, men-women-children.
Without a single tear, sense of regret.

To be held accountable, is his plea.
That not happen again,  is his cry.

Memories of lives with, cannot be erased.
To this day still, haunts him daily.

That is reason why, put on paper.
What he did experience, is not forgotten.

So please acquaint yourself, as he asked.
That you may understand, what took place.

His heart and soul, in every word.
As shows on face, witness to suffering.

Life torn to pieces, never fully recover.
Now given a purpose, reason for living.

A LUCKY CHILD, includes awareness.
Not staying stuck, in past.

Sent from camp, to camp.
Ten years old, by himself.

Separated from parents,, destination unknown.
Never gave up, a survivor.

This story shares, with us.
Many decades later, once safe.

For his age, very wise.
Gets him through, the unthinkable.

Pick story up, and read.
That we do, not forget.

May no child, no human.
Ever experience again, breathing amen.

NINE LIVES, of terror.
And a, few more.

Was not, all bad.

A far, away place.

From riches, to poor.
But still, bit safer.

Scratching  bottom, of barrel.
A land, of opportunity.

Come here, follow along.
See from, his perspective.

Then you, will understand.
That nothing, comes easy.

With heart, well written.
Takes us, all there.

The details all there,

BIRD FEEDER BURGLARY, at hand. 
The question is, who did?

Gathering of friends, much jealousy.
No one admits, just staring.

One more objective, must investigate.
Doesn't feel qualified, but proceeds.

Story to follow, their reasoning.
They're quite something, quirky indeed.
