The Drum

“This all needs to be chipped off here. Every bit, every goddamn fleck of salt and brine the Gulf of Mexico has to offer,” Jon said. He was an ugly, barrel of a man, with rolls of fat that clapped together beneath his white ExxonMobil shirt, which had pit stains the size of lungs. He had a curly beard, bald head, and pair of aviator sunglasses. A variety of dark moles dotted his sunburned scalp,…

Symbolism in Writing

Tips on using a writing tool to improve your story Symbolism is all about subtext – telling part of a story without directly spelling it out. Inference. Suggestion. Representational imagery. In this manner it is supposed to convey a greater meaning, or complex ideas. A metaphor. Allegory. So why use symbolism at all, why don’t we just say what we mean? Writing is an art form, and symbolism…

Poems and quotes my therapist would hate - A kind life (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1431653080-poems-and-quotes-my-therapist-would-hate-a-kind?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Secretside_of_bree I've always been fond of poetic and quotes because people were better at putting my emotions in words than me. As I matured I realized that it's never too late to become one of those people. So I became them. And if I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse- Jude Duarte.

Yall should like......... read my poems *wink wink*

grief, heartbreak, and the onset of insanity

He told me I was scaring him. He said there was something wrong with me. I didn’t bother to correct him because he was right. I mean nothing to him. I was the one who took what he had worked so hard for. I smashed his life to pieces and plucked the shards from my hand. I sucked on my wounds and allowed the blood to flood my mouth until I nearly drowned. I stopped, breathed and drank some more.…

Perverse or Folly? Is the "Goblin Market" Really a Kids Poem?

Within the poem, "Goblin Market" the perverse and folly is apparent for us adult readers. How does the writer, Rosetti, fuse both? #literature #blog #fiction #poem #poetry #poems #read #stripchat #camgirl #amreading #blogger #poema #writing #newblog

After reading the “Goblin Market” poem, I was left with an uneasy feeling between the perverse and folly; I was left pondering the multiple end meanings of the poem. Christina Rossetti, the poem’s creator, embodies these two feelings by punning on the sexual/temptation of experience, and the foolish/folly of child archetypes. As an adult I was left with mixed emotions because of having…

The Skinly Knight

The fortress is all gray, dust, and rockand empty, save the plated monster staggeringabout with an uneven stride.Wobbling, thanks to bulbs of fleshcursing his legs and arms.They’re reaching outwardslong dead tree branchesbegging to be trimmed. His keep is derelict,broken, a lonely solemn square.The banners tattered, wind-weary and mud-lickedfrom the rainy reeds and the watching swamps.All are…

February 2024 Books #AmReading

Can you believe February has come to a close? And one with an extra day thrown in for reading, since it was a Leap Year! I guess the big question is, what did I read, and did I continue to get words down? I started the month with 6 NetGalley ARCs and around another 50K to write on book three… I ended with 5 NetGalley arcs, a poetry book to read for a friend, and around 30k to write on book 3.…

yesterday i was the moon by Noor Unnahar #Poetry #AmReading

I am reading Noor Unnahar’s book of poems, “yesterday i was the moon” published in 2018 by Clarkson Potter/Publishers. I am enjoying the poetry so far, but I am “taking them slow.” Most of the poetry are free verse without punctuation or capitalization. Similar to the way I write most of my poems. I haven’t read any of Ms. Unnahar’s work previously, and while I do read a few books of poetry…
