Two Sides to a Twenty-Two

Hey there narrative poetry, you're still cool, right?

A Promise, Made to Yourself and a Lover

Hey there, title-as-long-as-the-poem... Well, not quite. Anyway. Sappy, but whatever.
I'm only posting it because I can't stop coming up with novel-sized ideas.

Writing: the Blathering

Okay, this comes across as way bitter, and I'm really not. I just found the concept amusing and went with it, hopefully you can get a laugh out of it. Or at least a wry grin.

On Sending a Love Poem

So that poem I said I wrote a poem about, a couple posts back. Well here is the meta poem...

Grains of Paradise

Medieval spice traders sold a variety of peppercorn called Grains of Paradise when they couldn't get their hands on black pepper. They claimed that it was taken from the stream that flows out of the garden of Eden as a way of inflating the price.
They are still available through specialty spice traders and they have a lovely, complex, rich flavor.

Accidental Sonnets

I actually wrote a sonnet entirely on accident the other day, and it was halfway decent but it was for two very specific people, so I won't post it here.

Grease Burns and Coffee Stains

Flash fiction and poetry, what is this, 2009? Hopefully I'm better now than I was then.

How I Will

Hmmm... I guess I'm in a mood tonight

The Hunt

I cranked this out after class let out early, it doesn't make much sense, may work as a mood piece, but I really enjoyed writing it, a nice change of pace from my second novel and the play that I'm working on...

Remembrance

Um, first thing I wrote on my new computer? Not very good, but...

Once

Just a little exercise, but it made me smile, so.

Every night

Umm, I'm really not sure about this...

And Silence in the Forest

But not silence from me! I finished something, shocking, I know. It's only like 3000 words, but hey, its a thing. Please, please, please tell me if it sucks, because if no one does I'm submitting it to a workshop in nine days...

An Apology and a Plug

First, I haven't written anything in far to long, life has been busy and ennui inducing, and what I have written has been scribbled into a notebook and not good enough for me to bear typing up.

On a more positive note, my story Yes, I Am was featured today on 365 Tomorrows. So, that's cool.

Once I've moved I assure you all I'll be posting again.

The Rover's Band

The title really doesn't fit...

This Place

I guess this captures my mood right now. Not really sure why though.

Eddies in Stone

Not sure if I like this or not, might expand it at some point. It definitely ties into this setting that's developing itself against my better judgement... Oh well.

Switching Stations

It starts quite rough but, I think, gets better.

The Patron Saint of Dead Bikers

I don't know if this works as well as I would like it to. I may revisit it sometime.

The Emerald City

I like the beginning at least, I may use it for something more worth while in the future.
