Over breakfast coffee, I accidentally read a really awful, #rapey text from #RFKjr to #OliviaNuzzi, & I keep hearing #Kennedy’s #Cryptkeeper voice reading the text in my head
(I honestly feel for Keith Olbermann)
Ewwwwwww
Oh hell #NotPoetry, not even fucking close
#brainworm 🪱
Text overlays a photograph of a white crab with some seaweed on the beach, “I am an honored guest of sea creatures great and small because I’m not a nazi fascist capitalist.”
Text overlays an image of a tortoise beetle on a green leaf, which says, “Damn I was making these shoes that fly you to the moon, but instead I guess they'll have to be made to keep you cemented in place so you can stand your ground against a fascist government takeover.”
I will defend these kids from tyranny until I draw my last breath. #poetry #notpoetry #fascism

#Writing?
To put it simply... I can't!
#Truth be told, ever since I got sick last week my mind has gone to mush. Everything hits a #wall, and comes to a screeching stop.
I find myself struggling to compose even a decent sentence.
Whoa is me.
This too shall pass. 🤞

‘Don’t be so #impatient, Aludim.’ Nyx commented when Antin kept moving to peer down below. ‘We’ll find them when we find them. I still remember where their capitol region was, I think that’s where they started out too’

I feel #abandoned, #caged even
#baffled by life itself
When a loved one is close to the end, I feel #caged, unable to be #gallant. I wish I had been more #daring, shown oma how much she’s meant to me. But I’m #famished, #hampered albeit #eager. Nothing can change.

As they approached the doors leading in to the grand council room, they opened.
«I’m glad we’re not #late,» Antin said.
‘The summons said on the seventh hour, it need not be at the start, we were never going to be late here.’ Nyx followed him into the space.

«I hope they won’t try to stop us, even if we could just leave» Antin said as they neared the tower.
Nyx hrmph’ed, ‘Don’t worry, Aludim, I won’t let us be #hampered. We have important shadow-hunting work to do!’

Hey Babe #7: 8/3/25 You told me that spending three days with me was too much for you, which saddened, upset and confused me. I don’t know if I’m going to keep doing these poems now. Maybe they were too emotionally attached? Naive? Was I too deep in love to notice? I’ve been trying to respect your boundaries, but I am hurting and I need clarity. I don’t want to be punished for wanting to have babe time. I am asking for presence, consistency and emotional safety. This didn’t have to become so heavy. But I didn’t overreact, I didn’t escalate. I didn’t demand or guilt or push. I asked for clarity, love and mutual care. Because that’s what a REAL relationship Requires. I shouldn’t have to abandon my own needs for someone else’s “Self discovery.” Am I just orbiting you while you don’t really want a relationship? Is this coming to the end? Do I have to fucking end this, Just to protect my own sanity?!This is deeply unfair. I didn’t ask for too much, I asked emotional safety and mutual care. Instead you pushed me away, Gave me mixed signals And have made me feel Like I am the problem. A burden. Just for needing love that isn’t laced with guilt and withdrawal. I will tell the truth and I will take the action What hurts it’s realizing that you may have already let go, and you didn’t have the decency to say it out loud to my face. Now I have to do emotional damage… Am I disposable to you? E.

I hate
poetry
and all the poets
who use
nonsense
made up flowery terms
like jiggedy and stick commas
and semicolons
places just because;
And because,
they can!
Darn those poets
and their wordy wordiness
and darn them for
making
me (yes me) think!

Sorry to the cheesy looking guy in army fatigues hugging a kid, a dog; sorry to the bloke who thinks that starving Gazans is a hoax; sorry to all the people who don’t like woke. Sorry. Not sorry.
I get to chose to follow truth, humanity, empathy here and not some trumped up fantasy!

Screenshot of an email ... we are currently on track to release Overboard in September. We'll let you know how we are getting on over the coming months. We're all really excited to get the collection in print. Thanks for your patience and all your hard work!
Blurb begging... does anyone know anyone splendid who might be interested in reading a short story collection, and sending a bit of honest but blurb-worthy feedback?... cough @robinince.bsky.social @ogre.red @feversof.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social I offer muffins and devotion #NotPoetry

No one working
No production running

Everyone pissed
Because every corner of
their lives are touched
crushed and ruined
This is weeks away

Furry blue face with eyes … that’s it.
Not overwhelmed.

push and pull
like flint and steel
to create a spark
igniting wants, desires
building a raging, fire
that burns, bright
#thoughts #words #notpoetry
he could hear
her pleasure
flowing from the intensity
in her intoxicating sighs
#thoughts #words #notpoetry
a furry of kisses
covering you
the kisses end
only when I'm through
enjoying your every
quiver and shake
your gift
mine for the talking
#thoughts #words #notpoetry
if there is a color
for push and pull
it's the color
they, create

it's her softness

her fierce
he craves

her release

a beautiful window, view
with added texture
patterned from a, screen
you can almost, feel
the beauty

she is more like
fierce fantasy
with new adventures
waiting to be explored
with intensity
