Summer’s end,
Bonfire is lit.
Marshmallows all stuck
On a stick.
Cooling nights,
Bonfire lights.
Gooey marshmallows,
Roasted right.
Autumn pleasures,
Don’t you know?

The prompt for today is Tranquility.

As the breeze blowing
Rocks my hammock,
I see that moment
Of tranquility,
Nothing to weigh me
Except my own mind.
Hiding in recess of this
Fantasy,
Looking at this imaginary tree.
Knowing that this island
Is far from reality,
Still for this moment
I relax into the much needed
Tranquility.

I am trying to do more art and more writing. It is not an inexpensive thing. However thanks to Patreon even a dollar a month helps to get the supplies I need to keep doing creative endeavors.

Prompt : Poisonous
I started with the mushrooms,
Ground finely don’t you see.
Then I gathered leaves
From the poisonous tree.
I picked it clean,
With no thought at all,
To what that would mean.
I mixed them all up
Adding belladonna seeds,
With just enough water
To make it liquid to suit the needs.
So in my pocket is the vial,
Hand mixed by me,
Made up of mushrooms and
The poisonous tree.
What will I do?
With the vial you ask,
I will hold it safe
Until the goodbye last.

So I have been very sick or this post would have been made last week. I have finished writing the poetry for Temporal Verse. I am working on layout and will be posting links soon.
I am going to be doing the inktober challenge… And I will post the pictures of it daily. However, I will likely not be posting long descriptions with. As that would make it harder for me. Inktober, for the uninformed, is a daily drawing challenge. I will not promise that mine will be the best art out there, as the challenge draws some amazeballs artists. I am going to try to post here and twitter and instagram.
Then I plan on doing the pad challenge in November, and Serena is doing Nanowrimo. So I will try to post some of the results, poetry and teasers for her. I am not going to promise that because I may not have any extra time.
I have started branching into other places to sell my books. Draft2digital offers me options for many venues. I will be next week doing a post up with the links that I have already, and I will attempt to update it monthly.
There have been discussions on doing an audiobook version of Rust, Gore, and the Junkyard Zombie as a anniversary release. If we do it, then it will be May.
I have a couple of poems from the new volume to share, I will do it in a separate post. This is mostly just upcoming news. ☺
Also, I have been posting on Facebook a poll. The title for my next volume of poetry… I am leaving in fan hands. Cast your vote.
