Curtis Ray Jones
I'm a 73-year-old retired factory husband, father of two, grandfather of one. I am an amateur Sci-Fi Fantasy writer and write little poetry too, none of it published, I don't count Publish America, which 'published' my current project, Banished To Earth, in 2004. My only formal education is a creative writing class I had way back in 1970, so I'm kind of out of my depth on this site, but I'm trying to keep up. Love sharing my stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to do so. Ray

power and painful
Posted on Mon, 14 Sep 2026
Being at the mercy of an unseen enemy while the outside world is filled with hope and light must be awful. Your poem shares that with eloquence and strenghth, beauiful but painful a the same time
in my prayers Ray

Once touched by evil, forever stained and claimed by it, bleak ending, would love to read more of your rich foray into darkness. Not going to make suggestions, this your piece, the product not only of your reading , but your past.

Disneyland and the A bomb
Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
I just hope America is remembered for more than Disneyland and the A bomb, briliantly written, Oppenheimer's pentance or punishement? I read a simliar story in Galaxy magazine decades ago about Hell and burying giraffes in the desert forever. ...
