English is a zombie language,
composed of body parts
stolen in a rampage
about
the
planet.

This Frankensteinian
pastiche
stole poetry
from
poets.

Lean
lines’
layers
lost
in
genocidal
sludge.

What does death #propagate?
Cacophony.

No fires. It was just amazingly orange. Glad you liked it. Our tiny, faded, miniature war bonnet & stick ball sticks are just swaying along. I’m no photographer, but I can get the feel of a moment, lol.

Bad moon video & image, but we are driving through the Oklahoma countryside at night coming home from a ceremony, and the moon is huge & intensely orange. It looks like the yoke of a free range chicken egg.

Pt 266
The woman turned around, looking like a #prize fighter from one of the underground dens in the cities. With a smoky, flat-out sexy voice, she crooned, “Well, I’d better gather up a few more folks to parade you in, Dawn of Paint Clan. News of your impending arrival preceded you.”

Dawn needed an escort to announce her to the Micco. Approaching a Tubee on patrol, Dawn belted out with #verve, as was the traditional protocol, “Halito! Dawn of Paint Clan representing the Micco of Moundville here on business to see your Micco.”

I love all of this! And I love how we used this medium feed each other’s spirits when people use it for negative stuff so often! ❤️❤️❤️ It’s a huge, glittery sprinkle of pixie dust, and I love it! 🥰 It’s what this world needs, lots and lots of small magic in the form of positivity.

I look at y’all’s posts (Native Texan—can’t help it) all the time! Both of you are inspirational yourselves. BlueSky is metaphorically and psychologically my blue sky in this cloudy world right now.

After I found typos in my MA thesis that my committee missed, I realized no book is perfect. I chose to leave a few errors in my first poetry book rather than cost the small press that was publishing it $100 to change page proofs. Learning helps us cope. At 57, I have to accept imperfections.

She has an art degree and is nearly done with a dual master’s in Art Therapy & Clinical Counseling. In other words, she has a distinct advantage over all of us plus an artistic chromosome marker from her dad. The good news is I have her and my husband as in house book cover artists.

Me, too. Life has to be fun no matter what. Detached, cheerful pessimism expressed in sarcastic humor laden with both high and low cultural allusions and dry wit is kind of my aesthetic. 👊🏼
