My next poem is out in Disabled Tales! "Sleeping Defiant" is one of my favorites I've ever written.

Inside the dead of winter /
Curls a fiery soul /
A little bear that sleeps defiant /
Waiting out the cold /

Apparently on Christian tiktok they're predicting a rapture on Tuesday. So I'm going in to work early, laying out an outfit of clothing in my office and pretending it got me.

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.
