This poem is all about a certain pillar of belief I have in myself and what I do as a literary horror author. Focusing on the dark, monstrous, and scary is necessary to achieve balance. Not just in myself, but in storytelling in general. Read it below:

fast friends find favour
frivolously frolicking
with low-hanging #fruit

North: BLEED

all of the pictures
my heart #bleeds for the children
evil does not care

South: NEW LEAVES

spring has the #newleaves
all the trees have brand new coats
winter is long gone

A life over time
The spread between then and now
Delta learned hard

#haiku #poetry #delta

So quiet
Even the wind
Races Past
Endlessly silent
Not a sound
Escapes this bubble

To not examine
The fiction
Of novels
Or poetry
Or even the
Bawdy humor
Of the bar room
To understand
Language better
Is to misunderstand
Communication
Entirely
Everything else
Is mostly
Instruction
Except of course
Soft words not
Spoken at night

My Cranium
was harder than
Cubic Boron
Nitride
I almost
didn’t alter
my indestructible
path my molecular
structure almost
on the brink of
shattering into
atoms and
dissipating

Time
Always gets away
Roaring past
Done and over with
You forgot just how fast

#AcrosticOctober #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

the ivy #climbs up
at least it's not like kudzu
sea of poison green

#Fuchsia pink
a spot of bright colour
in the garden
dominated by green
your eye is drawn
to that explosion of hues.

#WildWalkPrompt #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Eyes that look
And see
Countryside
Everywhere
Immune to
Time and
The ravages
Of civilization
Pure earth
Wanting to be
Wild once more
Passing through
The centuries
With vine
And sapling
Waiting patiently
Willing to
Overcome
And conquer

Upon seas
Too rough
For poetry
Or even thought
The idea
That words
Should rhyme
Nauseating
Enough on
Dry land
To be tossed
About trying
For syllabic
Structure
And continuity
Almost not enough
To keep a
Mariner
From resorting to
Alliteration
Between undulating
Upheavals

The man in the bookstore
took one look at me
and said
"Bards know Bards."
We talked about
lutes and lyres
harps and dulcimers
poetry and songs
Despite centuries
music and storytelling
still sing loud

New at Last Grotto: "Snake" by Julian Vale

A portrait of intimacy withheld — close bodies, small negotiations, imagined warmth. Beyond the body lies the tenderness we sometimes have to imagine.

She comes to me
all nervous
and tells me
I tell her
that I've known
for a very long time
She is my child
no matter what
her pronouns are
or how she dresses
