Another steep climb over slick gray rocks, but at least that day the sun was shining. Short on breath, once again but I paid no mind as I drank it all deep. Another cliff side looking down to a fall into crashing blue waves, but this time I faced the height. With cautious steps andContinue reading “Facing the Fall”

Morning Whiskey at Red Fox Inn
I wrote this piece when I traveled to Ireland for the first time last year. Been missing it like crazy. I need to go back! It’s been a busy year, and a busy month, but I wanted to make at least one contribution to National Poetry Month. One part whiskey, two parts hot brew pouredContinue reading “Morning Whiskey at Red Fox Inn”
Lopsided Moon by Johnlmalone
From the Drabble’s feed. A beautiful poem that I wanted to share with everyone. By Johnlmalone The bus shelter at the end of our street grinds its teeth at night. Sometimes I sit with it, hold its hand, listen to its tale of drunks and suicides, of lycanthropes baying at the full moon, of lostContinue reading “Lopsided Moon by Johnlmalone”
Meagan Reads Poetry: Past Life Invisible by Daniel Haskin
It took me some time to get through this and finally get around to reviewing it, not because it’s a slog to get through (far from it), but rather just due to my hectic schedule. I would like to summarize my overall thoughts about this collection with the statement that it is a reader friendlyContinue reading “Meagan Reads Poetry: Past Life Invisible by Daniel Haskin”
Sharing from The Drabble
“Bridges mean nothing to those with wings…” love that line! By D.F. Parizeau In the silence between hurricanes, expired passports and paper planes, I’ve spent too many days contemplating my retreat; bridges mean nothing to those with wings. The pain of leaving sits crimson in my chest. Must I fall before first flight? Skin rawContinue reading “Sharing from The Drabble”

Sharing beautiful poetry
Found on the Drabble and wanted to share this gorgeous piece. By Siobhan Atkins Who knows the weight of a collapsing star I only know it has crushed me After holding that space alone for so long My arms have given way and folded Concertina-like Against this brittle cold Where even the promise of supernovaContinue reading “Sharing beautiful poetry”

For the Floo Girls
The following poem was originally featured at my other writing blog here. My friends and I did a poetry writing challenge in which we wrote pieces inspired by music from Florence and the Machine, and created Floetry. This piece has a particular structure on the page that I cannot replicate through WordPress because HTML isContinue reading “For the Floo Girls”
Weft & Weave
The following is a poem I wrote for Rattle’s Ekphrastic Challenge back in February. Here’s a link to the original page and image that inspired this work: This is just a single piece. A fragment of imagination as a childish version remembers it. Patchwork puzzle piece across America where all highways and blue skies withContinue reading “Weft & Weave”
