About a week ago I asked for input on on the title of my next volume of poetry. The votes came in. So I am going to reveal the cover and the title together.

Precious

Beloved by one,
Obsessively.
Rubbed to shine,
Blindingly.
Simple rocks,
By others seen.
Precious stones
To shine and gleam.
No true need,
Desired though.
Precious things
Sentiment shown.




I did say that I was going to write something in lieu of the poem with my inktober offering. This is what I wrote. See you tomorrow with my day six inktober.

I know that I have been posting poems with all of my inktober offerings… But today that prompt is just not doing it for me. I will be trying to do a poem later today and I will post it instead. Not sure what time, but it will be before I call it quits for the day.

Prompt : Spell
Cast the spell,
Speak the words.
Be the child of many worlds.
So many turn magic
From a dream given form,
Into a nightmare of secrets
Built on shame.
Instead of shame, and mystery,
I suggest that you have magic,
Joy and harmony.
Share with all,
Do hide it all.
The spells in your heart,
Soul, mind and home.
Cast those spells
And let it flow.
Learn how to be better
For all you have known.

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.
