Yes, I skipped some days. Part of this is due to suddenly needing to go out of town for an interview (and a test for said interview). As I am looking for a job to help bolster my income, I simply had no time for an update. Since daily updating may not be possible for… Continue reading National Poetry Month: Day 9

National Poetry Month: Day 5
The prompt for today was posted on Legendfire by Tisiphone’s Downfall: “Write a poem in any style, any length, using blank verse. This is simply unrhymed verse, especially unrhymed iambic pentameter. Each line will have around 5 (pentameter) iambs (one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed, such as in “ago”).” Untitled Dear Self, I built… Continue reading National Poetry Month: Day 5
National Poetry Month: Day 4
Today I’ll explore a Sijo — a Korean verse that consists of three lines that are 14 – 16 syllables each. Passion I don my love and dance by the light of the moon — fervently lit by desire, I weave the stars as a bridge from me to you, hand in hand, coupled as… Continue reading National Poetry Month: Day 4
National Poetry Month: Starting late
It’s National Poetry Month and I’m starting a bit late to this bandwagon. I decided to try to post a short poem daily. Since I missed two days, I’ll just start today, and maybe try to make up those two days later this month by posting more than one poem. I’ll also examine various forms… Continue reading National Poetry Month: Starting late
Our Stories Matter
I wrote this poem a few weeks back and put it up in the poetry forum of Legendfire for some critiques. It helped me polish it up a bit and trim some unneeded lines and stanzas. I wrote it because of a day, where a former friend left me feeling like I didn’t matter. That… Continue reading Our Stories Matter
A Quest
Planning a quest for me. It starts here, at this desk, where my fingers tap keys. A quest unlike most games, where you seek a person, an item, a theme. No, my quest is myself. First, I’ll dismantle me. Rearrange and step back, to see it all — good or bad, murky or clear. Those… Continue reading A Quest
What I desire
I have some projects that I need to finish on this blog, and I apologize for the leave of absence. I’ve been busing sorting my life, trying to find a job to pay the bills, so I can go back to creating and updating and writing again. In the meantime, I wrote this today and… Continue reading What I desire
Revelations
Arms held out, one foot in front of the other, I balance on a wire, high above the ground. A breeze brushes my curls from my eyes, the smell of pine teasing my nostrils. Where do I walk? The canyon below is long, the river a crushing, raging roar that echoes back and forth across… Continue reading Revelations
Throes of Agony: Free Verse Poem
Throes of Agony A tear drop gathers on the tip of your nose. Take a step back, a balancing act on the tightrope, the crowd pulsing with a negative energy, jeering, cat-calling, throwing trinkets, half-eaten pickles and popcorn at your precariously balanced body. One down. Life gathers you in a close embrace, then rips your… Continue reading Throes of Agony: Free Verse Poem
Reshaping Reality
Since this is a new year, I decided to reshape the face of my blog. Give it a new feel, a new design, and update it for better features. Hence my new look will be quite a bit more colorful than the previous design. For this new year, I’ve made some goals: Finish two novels.… Continue reading Reshaping Reality
