Poetry

Wave of Death

By

Serena Mossgraves

All things need oxygen.
The brain included.
Is life ended with the body,
Perhaps the most contested thought
The soul released when the body dies.

But what if we are still inside,
Starving for air and dying slowly?
Does the body work to survive,
And the wave of death
Is the release of the soul
From the house
The soul has built inside?

Poetry

Dead Inside

By

Serena Mossgraves

The problem with life
Is expectations are so high
So much drama and the cost of pride.

It leaves everyone feeling
Like they might just be
Dead inside.

It drills holes in the soul
For emotion to crawl into
To hide.

Grief

By

Serena Mossgraves

Wallowing,
in the darkness
allowing the weight
to hold you down…

Perchance it is death
in the moment,
only you have forgotten
how to drown?

when even the breath
is more than you know
how to release,
How is it possible to
find peace in grief?

Loneliness

By

Serena Mossgraves

Soylent green is people

And I have always been color blind.

What does it matter to me

If I am but the last one

Left behind?

People on whole are a cruel

And ignorant lot,

And I prefer loneliness.

For loneliness is dangerous

You can learn to love yourself there.

What is Wednesday

FAQ

I feel like I have been doing a lot of the I am overwhelmed posts for the Wednesday post. And I don’t want to do it for the third week.

So I decided that I will do a news drop instead.

Serena is writing again. The Sea Wytch is actually moving forward and I have hope that it will be done this year.

Fae corps publishing is in current negotiations with a narrator to be able to offer audio books.

We are also in negotiations for the possibility of offering another imprint under our team.

I am posting my poetry images on patreon. Any paid amount will allow you to see them. They will not be available anywhere else. I am trying to not post the same poem anywhere else as well. So unless you are a patron the only way to see those poems are to buy the books.

Not sure if I announced it here but I have a new intern for Fae corps who is running the fae corps publishing blog. They are taking a huge amount of work off my plate each week. That should help me with my overwhelmed life.

I have signed up for the half marathon on the poetry marathon. 12 poems in 12 hours. It’s June 15th.

I am sure there’s more news but I don’t know what else to say…. So I will try to remember it by next week.

Announcement: release date upcoming

We finally got the release date for Serena’s Chasing Ghosts !

It’s available for preorder now but it is going to release June 21st.

She spent quite a while chasing her ghosts and herself in this volume of poetry. I think it’s a good volume.

Choices

So it’s time to ask for the next volume for both Serena  and myself. Since I do it on Facebook publicly and I don’t want to blow up my media here… I am putting it in as links.
