About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Still . . . a Consideration Still . . . a Consideration
There's a sign on the closed office door which reads:
Writing: Do NOT disturb unless dead, dying, or bleeding to death.
Why then does my husband, just because he is my husband,
think that he's exempt? Regardless of the fact
there are only the two of us living here, plus a dog
who is currently outside and happy and who cannot open said door.
Considers writing a gruesome and exceedingly painful death scene . . .
He wants to tell me of a video about the Top 10 Most Dangerous farm tractors
and how his (from 60+ years ago) was on it. That was the emergency
that completely blew me out of the scene I was writing?
That was more important than my two main characters finally
taking the step they've been working towards for two-thirds of the book?
That was more vital than the fact it took forever
to get my mind into the right frame to write said scene?
The sign is on the door for a reason!
Considers writing a gruesome and exceedingly painful death scene . . .
I can't really plot and plan his imminent demise.
But he (albeit unknowingly) had a very (!) close call.
If I did, then I could end up in jail, unless
I had a jury of my peers -- of writers.
No writer on the planet would convict me!
But no. I really shouldn't. Still . . .
Considers writing a gruesome and exceedingly painful death scene . . .
Bop
The bop is a new form of poetry introduced by poet Afaa Michael Weaver. It is an argumentative form, like the sonnet, with three stanzas, each with a purpose in the argument.
The first six-line stanza introduces the problem, the second eight-line stanza expands upon it, and the final six-line stanza explains the solution or failed attempts. There is a repeated refrain line after each stanza. |
