There are those moments
warm and fuzzy, when
walking my fawning pugs,
Albert pushes that flat,
wet nose to nuzzle
the muzzle of his house-mate
Lucy, as if to say:
"Hi, and bye the bye,
I'm always right here!"
After seven years, each
time he reaches for her,
I still smile and sigh.

This poem always makes me thinkf my beloved cat... sorry if that is offensive. He even manages sometimes to get a side reference on my novel here.
Greeting fair writer, poet, artist of written word!
We, the Charlatans of the digital seas, are a community of artists and writers, and have been watching you! We have recently acquired a new vessel, by means best not spoken of. Fit and proper she is, well structured and ready for long voyages. While we have some crew who have err volunteered, we are needing new crew of your known talent. The vessel is The Inferno, and the crew a select few hand picked by us, the Mountain Pirate, and the Mistress Kitty, Master of the ship.
The Inferno, will be sailing under the flag of The Artists Challenge and Dante’s Pub. She’ll be ready for unimaginable adventure and challenge, soon to cast off. We’re in search of rich plunder of all types, poetry, short stories, and of course works of visual art. We have our own tavern, with a private back room, for conversation and good cheer. Membership is free, that’s right, won’t cost you a pence. We are very selective, can’t let just any vagabond in… but we choose you!
So come along, join this wandering group if charlatans of literature and art. Beware of the Pub Wench, keep the booze hidden from Wench Sonya, and pay no mind to the bantering about the mysterious plank.

This is different for you. I like it a lot.
There is nothing better than the smile and the sigh. Or the elderly couple having lunch... for pushing the flat against the fade, beautifully written on such a personal account.
@Struggling I may be a bit confused, but not offended. Good luck with the novel.
@Eric I will definitely take a look at the challenges and see if I can come up with something worthy of submission.
@Jakill It's very different for me... but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad you like it.
@Jemfyr Very well summed up :)
