Here’s My response:
I see the rage monster
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster
as you see it
is not but an injured animal within.
Injured animals strike
at anything within reach.
And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...
*note Right now this is sitting in the Kissed by Verse volume. I am not positive it fits the theme but I am also unsure it does not. My mind may change before publication of that volume.
The Past
by Patricia Harris
the past is gone
forgotten,
repeating.
it leaves so many
feeling defeated.
it is not even happening
in a different way,
the past is gone...
so we will have to
live it all over again.
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.
So I have said that I enjoy making covers…and Especially poetry covers for future books – whether I ever get them written or not…I just enjoy the creation of the idea.
I am, at least where my files are concerned, Very organized. So I have a folder of future Poetry volumes and then each is organized alphabetically.
That gives me an idea of when I have two many of any one letter starting the titles. So I can choose titles from letters I have less of. If I have 3 or more then I feel like it is time to pick a different folder to add an idea to.
Do I realize that with over 70 future volume covers I will never get them all written? Yeah. This is an art form that relaxes me. And it means when I finish a volume I have choices. So less anxiety there.
My child thinks I am overwhelming myself. Planning for things that will never be, I see it as dreaming gently about possibilities.
Okay…Today was the end of November’s poetry posts. Tomorrow will be a quiet day here on the blog. I will likely be trying to schedule the week ahead. The current plan for my blog is:
Monday poetry – This will be Poetry by Patricia Harris
Tuesday Tunes- This will be a day for me to discuss music
Wednesday Whispers – This will be a sneak peak into Serena Mossgraves’s writing. Either Poetry or Fiction. This could be a short story or a teaser. I will try to at least post something fun.
Thursday Topics – This is going to be a bit random. It could be publishing, Mental Health, Writing, Politics, Rants…just about anything that I have burning my mind that week. Or it could just be a meme that I found worthy of sharing…I am not going to limit this one.
Friday Share – this is the same as it has always been. Share with me something worth looking at. Or I might share in the comments something fun. It is a easy day for me.
The weekends are rarely active here. I do my scheduling on Sunday. So I occasionally will post on Saturday or Sunday if I see something that I feel the need to speak about and don’t wanna wait until Thursday. Otherwise the only posts I will try to guarantee is the Book Birthdays. ( I am terrible about remembering to do these here. Fae corps always remembers) I will likely be doing a daily thing again in April, May, October, & November… 2 poetry and 2 art. Whether I stop the other posts during that time or not…well I will see. I did this time because I felt I needed to reorganize the blog.
