The bulk of my bed is for my lower back – it’s a mountain of clouds and… heaven isn’t too far away.
I had to purchase linens made for a king due to the newness in width and height of a space that transforms me during the witching hour.
I forgot one thing, though – black attracts lint, so I will be brushing nuisances off this plane of peace regularly.
Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?
I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with my place of employment as it pertains to racism and discrimination. I welcome your visit.
it hit me today–I always knew I had no chance in hell, but I tried to remain confident in my shambled self–maybe I am meant to make others feel good, while remnants of pain catapult me closer to denial.

Sometimes, a book takes you down so many “Memory Lanes” that you just have to sit with it longer than you would. Kym Gordon Moore’sWe Are Poetry is one of those books. I can tell that the author loves poetry, and she also loves learning about poetry.
Kym Gordon Moore does a fantastic job sharing her thoughts and observations about poetry, its origin, the writers who are well-known for it, and how we can all grow from it, and learn to use poetry as a form of expressiveness and encouragement.
I love how she pinpoints society’s best known poets against lesser known phenomenal writers and how we should be aware of them as well.
She not only shares these facts, but she also gives readers a tutorial of sorts into the various forms of poetry and how to write them. If you’re a lover of this genre of writing, you are going to be in heaven as you thumb through the pages of this book.
She closes the book with her original poems that make up a good portion of the book’s ending. I have to admit, for me, this is the meat of “We Are Poetry”–the part that fills the reader up.
Every poem stirs up a different emotion, and they are all very well-written. Kym did an excellent job weaving in comedic verse and reflective poems, too.
If you’re interested in learning different forms of poetry, reminiscing along with an author, and experiencing several emotions, too, then I recommend “We Are Poetry” to you. Your heart and mind will thank you.”
Get your thinking caps on and grab your learning tools. It’s time to give poetry the respect it is due!

I often feel like I have a life of mourning ahead of me–I’m making the best of it, growing how I should, and giving myself grace when I know I need to. Grief is a hard subject to tackle, but I am glad to see it as a prompt theme. Some things need discussion and it is helpful to express them creatively.
How about you? Do you want to give it a shot? What can you dream up about grief? What are your six words?
