How Can I Protect You?
How I Try To Be There For My Friends Inspired by and Alabama 3 Song
I always try to be there for friends and will offer advice or a shoulder to lean on.
People almost always keep things to themselves but it is better to at least talk to someone to deal with what the issues are.
I wanted to use a villanelle to emphasise the point of this but decided to use a call and response in a sonnet form.
After the poem, there are a few links that you may find helpful.
The music is a fairly harsh Alabama 3 Song but the chorus is truly euphoric, and when you hear that you will never forget it.

A Ukrainian Flag On Castleberg Crag
The war in Ukraine is still going on, and I was heartened to see the Ukrainian Flag, Blue and Yellow Flying over Castleberg Crag. That thought was a self-writing Haiku and therefore a fourth entry from me to the Blue Haiku Challenge on Vocal. I also included the Pink Floyd song - Hey Hey Rise Up (feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox) which if you buy a copy donates to the cause.

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits donβt wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.

Awe this reminds me of the song lean on me ππΊπ
πΌYour title is a question we don't normally hear, but desire so much to be asked; this is why it caught my eye. πΌYour introductions are always a pleasure, but this one was particularly rhythmic. The internal rhythm of 'lean on' and 'someone' rung in my ear, making me eager to reach the sonnet.
