Poetry Marathon Hour Five

Music





Music is such a personal thing

Shared by the world

With each hearing it uniquely.




The dreams are nightmares collectively,

For the lyrics are interpreted

Quite different depending on

The soul.




Some just hear only the beat,

Others need the lyrics

To connect

Soulfully.

Poetry Marathon Hour Four

Marriage




Two souls intertwine,

The choices made

Were made combined.

Through the good,

The bad and the in between

I am with you and you are with me.




And if death does do us part,

Please know that with you

Goes my heart.




The vows were made in truest faith

Before family, friends, and all that came.

All the years, the struggles, the tears,

And not a thing would I change.

You and I are everything

That I wanted in my

Day to day.

Poetry Marathon hour Three

Looking Into the Void 




The edge is a tempting place

For me to go to scream,

Looking into the Void

I can scream about all the things

That I should somehow avoid.




The edge calls me forth,

The need to speak unto the void.

A eternity at my feet

With the wind pulling me

Towards the edge.

Poetry Marathon hour two

Who’s to Blame

The age old question is asked
Again and again,
Who’s to blame,
What is the fault?

So much blame to be handed about,
Instead of accepting that we all
Have a hand in the end results,
Instead of handing out blame
Why not allow humanity
Room for mistakes?

Sketchy tembers day 2

The prompt was feather.

Sketchy tembers

Day one Prompt: Sunflower

Serena’s Story

Serena’s story was accepted a bit ago in an anthology by Circle City Publishing. We just got the link today. It looks like a great read. Get yours here.

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

I drew a ghosty. My daughter said the ghost needed a teddy. so…updated.

Wild Wednesday

So…Harley Quinn.

Yeah she’s my favorite Batman villain. But is she really a villain? or more of an anti-hero?

It really depends much on point of view. The problem is always POV.

For Harley. She is the Main character.

For Bruce Wayne, He is.

And realistically the same is true in any story. If you pick up a book and look at it from another character’s view…that character is not going to see themselves as a secondary character. Would you? If say you were in the DC Universe and hanging around the Daily Planet…would you see yourself as a extra in the story? No! So, from your POV you are the main character.

Harley would not see herself as a villain…

She is crazy, but not entirely without a idea of right and wrong. I believe she would see herself more as an antihero or as someone with a really nasty case of bad luck.

Which opens up so many options for the character in storylines.

I think sometimes just understanding the POV helps us to understand and perhaps flesh out the characters we write better. I think it also helps us empathize better with fictional characters on a different level as well.

Busy busy blogger

So… the next couple of months are busy ones.

I am going to be doing the sketchtember, drawtober, and November pad challenges. That means that you will be seeing a daily post on here for the next few months. (I have already done a few of the drawings for sketchy tembers to make sure I can keep up. Especially since I am going to be doing the half marathon for the poetry marathon.)

With all of the other things I have going on… I am keeping the drawings posts simple. I will post the art and the prompt I used.
