This is Thursday?

Meme-emotional description

I am frazzled this day, I slept wrong and I don’t feel good. So I am trying to find my way today and it is becoming a struggle because I am not working on my normal schedule. I normally have my blog scheduled ahead…but I was doing it daily because I was doing a daily poem. Now I am in between the two. I don’t do well with change.

I am trying to at least keep the blog as active as I can…but this is difficult. Tomorrow is easy. I can share my normal Friday thing and it will work. Thursday is the problem. I want to do more of a discussion about art and the use of it in the day to day…and that will take planning. Which I can not do on the lack of sleep I have had.

Thank you for your Patience….

What’s new Wednesday

Blog Weekly image

So I finished with the pad challenge yesterday and now I am starting the next phase of my new blog experience… and I don’t have any posts planned for this week. That means that I will be posting at random times for the next couple of days… but I am going to be trying to figure out what the new blog is going to be looking like.

I have a book review for a friend that I will be posting sometime soon – I was lucky enough to get an ARC for her book… and I can’t wait to tell you what I think about it. I have nearly finished reading it. My review is likely to be released near the release date in June.

Hope Splashes has a release date soon.

Chasing Ghosts is also releasing soon.

Fae Corps Publishing has a full release schedule until January of next year. So I will be able to talk about the publisher side of things some as well.

I still have to go through the categories and do a bit of a cleaning. I hope to get it done before next week.

Though I have done a lot of changes and the changes may mean the blog looks different, I think that it will be nicer to read in the long run.

Poetry

The End

By Patricia Harris

Is once the word is spoken

at the end of it’s life,

nothing further for it to know?

or is the verse just beginning

and the speech the start

of all it will know?

Either way I feel like
the word spoken in verse
will catch something more than
interest and ignite a new thirst.

Ars Poetica Day 30

Poetry

In the middle of madness
Lay the verse,
Written down to try to explain
Something dark and perfect.

That the world can be seen
With eyes shaded by dark things,
Or overgrown with flowers
That bloom in nightshade.
All of this is just an expression
Of poetry and the truth from
What a heart can bleed.

Pad challenge Day 29

Poetry

Until dawn

By Patricia Harris

Staying awake for no reason
Until dawn approaches
Produces the same dreams
As if you were to crawl into
Bed as soon as the night falls.

Telling the self that life
Must fit in the schedule
Given by social settings
Only creates a guilt
Unnecessarily.

Ars Poetica Day 29

Poetry

Words detached from the heart
Spelled into the pen,
Creating from the energy given
The poetry given to the world..

Perhaps I could do something more
With the energy than shaping it
Into the verse so fair,
But the perverse nature of my heart
Says that I must make the poetry.

Pad challenge Day 28

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.

Ars Poetica Day 28

Poetry

In the world of verse
The possibilities are so very diverse.
Writing in a ruleset to meet the form,
Or taking the license to be
Whatever you want to be…
Poetry allows for all of these.

Probably the thing that scares away
Those who claim to hate
All that poetry has to say
Have just not found the poem
To affect them properly yet
In the right way.

* I do realize that I am posting it slightly early. I just got it written and decided that I didn’t want to take the chance of forgetting to post it.

What lay ahead

FAQ

Okay, I went through and I cleaned out my media files. Starting the first week of May… my blog is going to look slightly different.

I still have to go through my categories and do a cleaning.

I’m going to start posting the poetry more like I have this month. With the reusable image.

I will still be posting art on occasion but I am thinking about using Artsy Fartsy Thursday as a day to discuss art and the creation of rather than just posting the art.

The images I saved are either blog images, or memes that I use regularly, or book covers. So much of the blog before this is going to be missing the image from the posts.

Since I am going to be doing the poetry in a text format, I plan to try to do a second post on Monday but I don’t know if it will always be a second poem.

That should be the majority of the changes. Thank you for the patience as I have been doing this change.

Pad challenge Day 27

Poetry

Remind me

By Patricia Harris

I just don’t know how
to remix the words
that I wrote already
so perfectly.

Remind me that I have
a flaw or ten,
so I don’t see the writing
as perfection written.

* I am not actually sure if I do write perfectly…. but the prompt today was to remix one of our own poems. I hate remixes in general and I don’t want to do it to my own poetry. I have plans to do a revisiting poetry book but it is mostly going to be a discussion of my own poetry, not the remix.
