Dena Revenge. Content Warning.
Looks like illegal hits on Dena are on trend for MAGA, my daughter, and her stepmother. Violations of international law

River Song
Those red feathers—crimson? Scarlet? flashing the sky behind you, above your shadow calling to me, swooping your thermal glide,

Abuse. Content Warning.
I keep my guard up. I have to, unless I want to be destroyed. The false narratives are bad enough by themselves, but the intentional emotional and psychological abuse is too much for me, arrows trained on chinks in my armor.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do: a Harper Lewis rogue challenge
This is my second post about this challenge, which is to write a letter breaking up with a literary character. You may take the point of view of another character, real or of your own creation; there’s no wrong way to do this. You may choose anything from a nursery rhyme to a poem to a play to an opera to a short story—you get the picture: any genre.

Plain Planes
They say this can’t be love, it’s too episodic for them to understand that depth always matters more to me than breadth (or even breath).

Soul Mates
A church and a bar, an ivory dress and a white t-shirt. Lightning struck twice, engraving them in me, the one who always returns

Text and Subtext
Haiku of Now challenge results were released on Friday. Haiku challenges are easy winners’ page reads, but good grief, the judges had to slog through over 1300, minus the ones that were disqualified for not adhering. A couple of mine probably fell into that pile—if you read beyond the blurb, it was a very specific challenge—no past, no reflection, no past tense, no interpretation—just a lived-in moment. Some of mine reflected or interpreted, may have even had a past tense verb somewhere.
