Poetry Marathon Hour Twelve

To Do List

Get out of bed 

brush that head 

drink some coffee 

throw out the doubts and why mes 

prepare for the day 

don’t forget that you slay 

Eat something more than once 

best if you eat dinner, breakfast and lunch 

keep away any and all doubts 

throw those nasty things right out 

don’t forget to hydrate 

you have too much on your plate 

portion it out a piece at a time 

until you can handle the whole design

From A Differing Perspective

The argument that seemed so dire

to you was to me nothing 

more than Tuesday,

I tried to explain my view

only for you to turn the other way.

My words meant nothing,

you didn’t want to hear…

it was all about you…

much as it always was.

My tears fell unwarranted

to find that you did not care,

so my urge to argue was 

unimpeded by  the need to

head your feelings instead.

I do not know if I will have Serena Doing anymore Poetry. I enjoy exploring the Darker poetry with her, but at the same time it is exhausting to have so many projects open at once. I am hoping to still have Xactly Poetic releasing in September. I have it over half way written. This year has been a busy writing year for me. I have released more volumes this year than I often do. I have a kid’s book I have been trying to get illustrated for Kid’s week in December.

Progress on Poetry

I chose to copy some of this from the previous post…and add to it.


Xactly Poetic is currently up to 47/70 poems


Queer Verbiage is up to 26/70 poems


On my way home is up to 54/70


Fighting Ignorance is up to 23/70


Dream Drips is at 6/70


Serena’s Blood Red Rain is at 48/70


Occult Madness is at 3/70


Ocular Dystopia is at 2/70


As you can see… I am making progress… but I’m not sure if I am going to be done with any of them soon… that being said… I am setting a September release date tentatively for Xactly Poetic. I think that I can do that deadline. I say tentatively as I don’t have it finished and I don’t want to promise something that I can’t do.

It feels so strange to me to have so many volumes in progress. But many of them have a theme… which means that I am limited to what goes into them.

Xactly Poetic is all about the form. I am a free verse poet – so writing to the form is a challenge for me and my writing skills.

Queer Verbage is all about being a non-binary pansexual and the rainbow magic in my life.

On my way home is not themed, really…but like many of my volumes it is picking up a slight theme of the journey and what home is to me. Though I am not doing it on purpose.

Fighting ignorance is political poetry… and my opinions there are strong.

Dream Drips is about addiction.

Occult Madness is about pagan ideas, and religious thought.

Ocular Dystopia is all Visual Poetry.

And of course Serena is dark poetry.
