Hey there, readers, writers, and new friends! I write as D.L. Bogdan and Darcey Bonnette in the UK. Thus far, my work centered around the intrigues of the Tudor court, however now I'm shifting gears to new eras after a long hiatus. You can find my work on Amazon! #historicalfiction #author

I wish to be #emboldened—
become #unmoored,
instead of #rotting here,
#comfortably,
upon the shore
where I gaze out
at all the chances
I don't explore
a desire
to throw off
#weekly #demands,
get lost in #nature—
to be more
than a stoic fixture
in a lifestyle
I no longer
understand.

you looked at me
with choiceless eyes
uncoiled the rope
& said I must now be
unmoored
my sails unraised
I've one foot in the boat
& one on the dock
my arm curled around a piling
for I do not wish to leave
I can feel hamstrings stretch
my arm slips
the hand grips
how long
'til I'm adrift?

I haven't been on much as of late, as I suffered from a severe illness I'm recovering from. I miss the poetry group and can't wait to contribute and see your work again ❤️

I crave the autumn
Oh, but to last a long while
Cider and crisp leaves
