Monday poetry – Prompted

Today both Serena and I had a take on the prompt for the #MonsterSheWroteChallenge2021 over on https://braveandrecklessblog.com I just saw the challenge last night so I got a late start on it, but I look forward to doing the challenge. I will likely post a few more here as the month goes on.

Memento – 1Wise-Woman

braveandrecklessblog's avatarBrave & Reckless

A knock upon the door reveals a familiar, elderly man, dressed in his finest. His facial expression is one of uncertainty. What does the face of, “I don’t know how you’re still standing” look like anyway? It looks like me… haggard, unwashed, skeletal. “One foot in the grave,” I tell myself, laughter pressing psychotically upon my parched lips.

He’s been on my front step too many times to know what to do or say. That’s a job for the professionals. Nonetheless, his instinct kicks in, avoiding having to look at me for too long, he hands me a meager, lonely rose, wrapped in plastic and tissue and utters his deepest condolences. Words I’ve heard so much they’ve lost any meaning.

I hang it upside down, along with the other two, still not fully dried. I wonder if hospice knew that each one was a different color than its predecessor? Yellow…

So you found a new book?

Or maybe you just published one?

Did you find a new webcomic that you like?

Or a song you think everyone should hear?

No need for explanation…Just Share it.

You find a good deal that you think we should all see? Just share!

Or hey even a joke you think too fun not to share, Just share it.

Post links in the comments.

Occasionally I will too.

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –
“Time”

Burn this room down
Place me on a chair
For all I care
You’re telling me I’m crazy
I would call it lazy
Let the room burn down

Blow my heart apart
You don’t give a shit if I live or die
I don’t wanna be a part of this
No more

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

So we’ve been together for a year or two
And you’re angry because I don’t know, but I’ve been busy loving you
I don’t have the money to be the one you really need
All I give is who I am and poetry to read

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

I’ve been living a dream
But everyone’s awake
And everytime I try to catch up
It’s when I nearly break

Now we’ve been together for a year or two
And everytime I am feeling good is not because of you
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but people seems to fade
Now I don’t care cause I’m sitting on a chair and this is what I made

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so we can try
Tell me why you hate me
Tell me who I should be
Let the time pass by

Now I really know
What you need is rock n’ roll
And if you’re not gonna like it
Then, baby, that’s your call

I don’t care if I’m using my mind
I don’t wanna know
Leave me alone, go never come back
I love rock n’ roll!

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

My Two Cents – this past week was a busy mess so this is mostly how I felt. Lets burn it all down.

Thursday Tea Party

Created by Patricia Harris in Canva

Hello, My lovelies! I have some major announcements and I am unsure where to begin.

First the Blog for Fae Corps is busy Lately. Have you seen? I have been leaving it in the Capable hands of our lovely Intern Azlyn Fae. She has been doing a wonderful job. I am going to be posting our Daily prompt for the PAD challenge in November. Other than that she handles the blog better than I did.

My poetry volume The Voices Within just released the 18th. I did not get to do a book birthday post as I was down with a terrible migraine that whole week.

We at Fae Corps are going to do a special the first week of December. I am releasing two new Kid’s books – A Pup is Brave which is a continuation of my Pip the Pup story
The Littlest Faery which talks about a special little faery and the start of her adventures.

So we are going to put my other Kid’s books on sale. and Redbird is rereleasing her kid’s books.
Nita and the Honeybees Keko and the Lost Bananas

We are going to do kid’s games in the Party room on Facebook that whole week. at the end of the week those kid’s who have participated and or won will receive a printed activity book from Fae Corps. There will be other Prizes to win. (A bookmark made of resin, a $5 amazon card, Etc.)

We are going on Vacation technically from the 15th of November until the first of the year, but this is fun for us too.

There is a lot going one between now and then.
Super CJ, a children’s book by Denise Tyree Lucas, releases September 30th. It is a super cute story.
Silence is Crimson. A horror novel By Raz T. Slasher, releases October 31st. Reminds me of slasher fics crossed with a good HPLovecraft story.

Then on the 15th of November –
Fae Shivers Forgotten Horrors
Fae Shivers Remembered Nightmares

Also…Serena has decided to not attempt the Nano Challenge this year because for a Change I want to. On my own terms. I do the PAD Challenge every year. I will again this year. I think instead of word counts – as I do children’s books it requires far less words. I am going to try to do one book a week. From the writing and Illustrations to layout. everything. Four books in November. For publication next year.

Speaking of Publishing Next Year…Fae Corps Is already booked up for authors next year and nearly booked for 2023. Next year we are pleased to be doing books for Ashira Dayta, Keely Messino, and Raz T, Slasher. For 2023 We so far have – SB Steele, and Ashira Dayta, and Ruan Bradford Wright. We will be busy.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

{Verse 1}
Woke up late, car’s a mess
Spilled some coffee on my dress
Trying to pick out a song
Drove too fast, missed a stop
Somehow a Policeman saw
How am I gonna pay for that?

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today

{Verse 2}
Got to work, powered through
Headache started around 2
‘Cause I had to work through lunch
Finally, I finished up
Made it home and had enough
But I found a dog chewed couch

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today

{Bridge}
Just another cup of coffee
I can’t adult today
Just a little bit more money
I can’t adult today
10 alarms just to remind me
I can’t adult today
Tomorrow I will try again

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today 

My Two cents –
I am behind on my posts this week. It has been a really busy week for me – We had to get our lawn mower fixed and gather trash from the yard. Summer is ending but there are still summer chores to be done. So I spent Yesterday dealing with all of that. I spent Saturday dealing with a game and Sunday playing in a different one. So my normal work day – Sunday…well it got stolen. I will not post tomorrow but I have some upcoming announcements so I will be posting Thursday to tell yall all of what is coming soon. Man, Adulting is exhausting.
