Thursday Tea Party

Hello lovelies. Today I am having a blend of herbs in a tea. Which herbs you ask? Oh dear me… I seem to have forgotten most of them… My boyfriend makes it for me, so I only put them in my 🦉(yes my tea strainer looks like an owl) and drown the owl. I do know that he uses 5 different herbs. It has Lavender, Jasmine, and a small amount of Mandrake. Oh dear, I really have forgotten the other two. Well rest assured that it tastes like a miracle, and aids my pain meds(back and hands are extra sore today.

Well… A week into October… So much going on. My first post for coffee house writers is up. If you missed it, go here. Of course my Saturday post on here was filled with the links for my books, Serena’s books , and other places to find me.

Serena is definitely doing Nano this year. The link to her Nano page is Here. I will be doing the P. A. D. Challenge, as usual. Though I do not always use just the Writer’s Digest prompts, they usually have good ones. For the ones that want to try to follow along, or try the challenge themselves, the link for the section of the site is Writer’s Digest – Poetic Asides. It is a wonderful column regardless.

Serena has two projects to attempt working on. Kingdoms of Sin and Life, Guilt, and undeath. I believe that both are listed as active due to the desire to not allow writer’s block to slow down the momentum.

My craft studio is nearly together. We have moved most of the stuff in there, but I have still to organize and such. I have been considering doing a studio tour video. We have not gotten the electric fixed in it yet. One thing at a time, right?

With all that is going on in November…I don’t know if I can juggle everything. We will see. I may have to do a couple of less days here a week. It will depend upon my dexterity. I will be juggling a bi-weekly deadline for Coffee House Writer’s, a poem a day, an attempt at doing 1667 words in one or the other or both of Serena’s stories, homeschooling my daughter, and housework. Plus the blog and any art I can squeeze in. It is not going to be easy. So, I beg your grace ahead of time for missed posts. I will return to the normally crazy of this blog in December regardless. I am hoping that I will be able to juggle it all in November as well.

If I can I am hoping to get around to the children’s book I am working on in December. It is a middle grade story. Attack of Shoe Mountain. If I do then 2020 will be a huge year of publication for me. Both Serena and I have poetry being published in Fae Corps Publishing Faery Footprints. She is likely to have a story in the Through the Sunshine anthology. I am also hoping that at least one, if not both, of her W. I. P. novels will be published in 2020. I am usually publishing roughly 3 poetry volumes a year. If I can also add Aosm… Yeah 2020 will be a big year for me and mine. Though I might be publishing Beauty’s Tears in 2019 still. Depends upon the poetry muse. 😉

Halsey – Bad At Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a boy back home in Michigan
And he tastes like Jack when I’m kissing him
So I told him that I never really liked his friends
Now he’s gone and he’s calling me a bitch again
There’s a guy that lives in the garden state
And he told me that we’d make it ’til we graduate
So I told him that the music would be worth the wait
But he wants me in the kitchen with a dinner plate

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that we’re meant to be
But jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best of me
Look, I don’t mean to frustrate, but I
Always make the same mistakes, yeah
Always make the same mistakes ’cause

[Chorus]
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love

[Verse 2]
Got a girl with California eyes
And I thought that she could really be the one this time
But I never got the chance to make her mine
Because she fell in love with little thin white lines
London girl with an attitude
We never told no one, but we look so cute
Both got way better things to do
But I always think about it when I’m riding through

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that I’m in too deep
And jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best in me
Look, I don’t mean to frustrate, but I
Always make the same mistakes, yeah
Always make the same mistakes ’cause

[Chorus]
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)

[Bridge]
I know that you’re afraid I’m gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades
Each time the feeling fades
I know that you’re afraid I’m gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades

[Chorus]
You know I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know
I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh

My 2 cents

Ok… I was so tired this morning and struggling with focus. I asked my family for songs to discuss. The boyfriend suggested Weird Al Yankovic – Asshole Son. Daughter suggested Grandson – Darkside. These were topics I was not ready to approach. This song started playing in my head. I think it speaks to a part of each of us… Making the same mistakes in love, falling into patterns. Simply falling for the wrong person because they are that spark we want in the moment, the lies we tell ourselves because we want to believe.

Coffee House Writers

I am now doing a bi-weekly post on the Coffee House Writers website. I plan on sharing the post here when it goes live.

Today my post is a poem called Ego Trip. Enjoy.

Sorrow of a Muse

sirhanz's avatarKnotty Thoughts

When a muse cries,
What does she inspire?
Those that have hearts,
Filled by her vision of beauty,
Boldly step forward,
To offer their vary souls,
As linen to dry her tears..
She inspires desperate words,
Of love and desire,
That pour forth,
To quench her sorrow..
They give understanding and comfort,
Even as they place the lash in her hands,
That she may vent her frustration,
Apon their bared flesh..
They stand as her shade in the heat,
And her shield,
Against words said in anger and haste,
That the muse may one day,
Again find them worthy,
To grace with her love.

Best wishes -SirHanz
