  • Emotions

    A scream A shout A yell A cry A laugh A sigh A murmur A weep. Sounds of great, stirring emotions, which want to be divulged freely, openly, honestly, without fail into an ignorant world. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou. Picture ©: One of these days by Peter Nottrott

  • Life Uncomplicated

    What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? Well, I think that the main problem with us humans, surely not all humans, but at least a significant part of it, is that we want it all. We want it all, the whole package, without compromises. We waste…

  • Russian Bear

    Who would you like to talk to soon? Well, I wouldn’t say it must be soon, but the person I would like to talk to someday is a very controversial personality today. Guess who? It’s Vladimir Putin. At this point, I must be clear that I don’t support his politics…

  • Missing the Past

    What personal belongings do you hold most dear? As I mentioned in yesterday’s prompt, my books have a special meaning to me. Another personal belonging that has a special place in my heart is my Teddy bear, which I have had since childhood. (You can see a tiny part of…

  • Everlasting Star

    I have a star hidden in my heart. It’s your face, which I eternally adore, and it takes me on journeys to far-away places. A voice in me whispered to me holy, one day, I will meet you at a magical place,  and I will sing the tune of love…

  • Youth’s Journey

    A poem about aging. Youth, rebellious and courageous tasted her young years to her fullest pleasure. Nonetheless, growing year by year, she never stopped dreaming unfettered dreams. Even though she stumbled many times over misfortune and sorrows, passionately she kept chasing the unfeasible. The time flowed like crisp, fresh water…

  • Phrasing

    What is the legacy you want to leave behind? Legacy? Like something extraordinary and inspiring written on one’s tomb? As Nikos Kazantzakis wished to be written on his tomb, he was a famous writer, not only in Greece. One of his novels, “Christ Recrucified,” caused him much trouble with the…

  • Overgoes

    My heart goes and goes and overgoes in a world that doesn’t love. It constantly stumbles over breakups and disdain, feeling like a burning pain, but hope and courage bring it back to its feet and the journey continues far and beyond where true love awaits the pure, bold heart.…

  • The Sense of Season

    How do you feel about cold weather? I like icy cold weather very much. I prefer it to constantly rainy weather. OK, rain is something romantic for some people, but snow has a more romantic touch for me. Maybe I’ve watched too many Chinese series. As I said, I like…
