It's time for another #WeeklyPoetryReading! 💜

Work of Art comes from a very real place. I often wish I could see myself through the lens of others, and believe what they say about me.

Well, sometimes I do.

I hope you enjoy 🥰

I'm not certain what the lyrics to Disco Inferno are, but there are certainly not:

🎶Burn, baby, burn
Like a Molotov🎵

As I sang in the car today🤦‍♂️

Morning, you beautiful rascals. I hope you get to feel proud of yourself today, whether it's for something big or small. And feel free to brag about it here! 🫶

One week into editing my WIP (aka checking the plot and chapters actually make sense), and I'm already a quarter of the way through the story!

It’s October, so feels like a good time for a name change…

(And given I now write dark books, I’m wondering why I don’t have it this way all year🤷‍♂️😀😈)

Remember "I was only following orders" "Others did" and "I did not know it was happening" didn't work for the 24 Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg Trials and it won't work when this treasonous fascist administration is put on trial.

Congress should grow a spine, reopen the government, and invoke the 25th Amendment!
But we get this spineless cheeto sucking sycophant
He sees nothing
Hears nothing
Knows nothing
Blames the Democrats
As he gets off his knees in the Oval Office...

have you seen me
(you haven't)
seen me haunt
the long driveway
(your steps)
the ancient door the stairs
creaking 'neath your feet
have you seen me
in the darkling mirror settling
(over your shoulder)
into this haunted bed waiting
to guard (guide) your slumber
