Poetry Notes

Well I am surprised. Handprints is releasing November 18th. I have been writing in Thoughtcicles and I have found it is flowing. It is already at 50 out of the 70 poems. Doing the PAD challenge should have it ready for release by the end of November but I am covered up in book release stuff until after the first of the year. So I am likely to release it in January sometime.

Artsy Fartsy Let’s Discuss art

Was working on formatting a children’s book about mermaids and it made me want to do art…

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –

[Verse 1]
There is no knowing, no showing
Your fragile side
Want to be perfect, untouchable
Like the sky
It’s so misleading, believing
That fear inside
Don’t let the light in, they’ll see it
Behind your eyes

[Chorus]
Way down we go
To the dark room
Where your pain’s the only one to greet you
Down we go
To the mind that
Will deceive you, only out to get you
Down we go
To the bottom
Now there’s only yourself to count on
Down we go
To the dark room
Can you get through all the pain insidе you?
Down we

[Verse 2]
You’re stuck with playing and gaining
Traumatic times
Want to bе stronger, the story
Of your whole life
This kind of reckless seems endless
It comes to fight
So you’re not breathing, just bleeding
Oh, what a sight

[Chorus]
Way down we go
To the dark room
Where your pain’s the only one to greet you
Down we go
To the mind that
Will deceive you, only out to get you
Down we go
To the bottom
Now there’s only yourself to count on
Down we go
To the dark room
Can you get through all the pain inside you?
Down we

[Bridge]
Down we go
To the dark room
Where your pain’s the only one to greet you
Down we go
To the mind that
Will deceive you, only out to get you
Down we

[Chorus]
Way down we go
To the dark room
Where your pain’s the only one to greet you
Down we go
To the mind that
Will deceive you, only out to get you
Down we go
To the bottom
Now there’s only yourself to count on
Down we go
To the dark room
Can you get through all the pain inside you?
Down we

My 2 Cents –
My daughter often introduces me to new music…and it gets stuck in my head. The lyrics on this one really kind of hit for me. What song is stuck in your head and why?

Monday Poetry

Passions and realities

My newest digital landscape using my Graphics Tablet

Deep thoughts end me up in a random place. I have always had a passion for poetry…Writing it, reading it, studying it. I just really love poetry. I generally don’t like following the rules of poetry because I feel like that makes it harder to express what I want to say…but I still know many of them. I can tell you the rules off of the top of my head for several differing forms. I think that is why I feel most at home on Tumblr of all of the social media…it feels like poetry.

I found this on tumblr earlier…

It feels like truth…I end up shitposting on Facebook, I don’t really do much with Insta or Deviant…though I wish I could. I just end up feeling awkward. My anxiety eats at my posting on Tiktok. Discord I use for Fae Corps…We try to be open but most don’t even know how to use discord much less see it as a viable social platform.

I find it so hard to share my passions for poetry…because it ends up being such a niche passion. So few actually like it. I feel like it is because it was explained poorly in high school and no one takes the time to learn about it past that.. so many see poetry as only for love…Poetry is pure emotion…it is the heart of the poet spilled onto the page…Many people don’t process emotion well.

I think I want to post a different poem by a different poet everyday in November…as well as trying to post my own PAD challenge Results.(Poem A Day)..However it means that I am likely not going to do my normal posts during November. I decided not to have Serena do NaNoWrimo this year as I am incredibly busy. I am prepping Fae Corps’s Children’s books…and doing the PAD Challenge. I also have day to day life.

The other Poets I can Schedule ahead, and that will help. I really want to have you all see some of the amazing poems I have read.

Art Tablet thoughts

Ok…I finally got around to attempting it with my Laptop. I have worked on it with my desktop and I love it. It plug and played perfectly with my windows pc. It didn’t really need the driver to be downloaded, but I did just to be sure there would be no hiccups. My laptop is running Linux. I actually prefer Linux but there is so much I cannot do without windows due to compatibility of my favorite programs. I have found freeware that covers much of what I do, but there are a couple of programs (Master PDF Editor being the most important) that I cannot do without. (Master PDF Editor is available on Linux but I bought the license for windows when I was unable to run Linux for a time and don’t have the ability to buy it again right now.) My poor laptop is not a high end thing. I mostly use it when I have to travel and cannot bear to be away from accessing my files. The tablet’s driver is available for MAC or Windows only. So it does not have available drivers for my Laptop. It still plug and played. It did however freeze up while I was working about 8 times. That was slightly annoying. I believe that I will keep using the windows pc for it.

I really do enjoy the lovely nature of this tablet. I do better art with the fine control of a pen. I hope to post more soon.

A digital flower from my phone as I am still trying to recover from my cold. Enjoy.

Whelp, it’s Wednesday

I know that this is becoming a habit. I will be getting back to the webcomics next week. I am nearly over this damn cold. I appreciate your patience.
