Five Minute Poetry: Pregnant with Promise...


Everything old is new again...Last winter I became pregnant with promise and birthed 12 infantile begin agains...I binged on them for a while and purged them when I saw there was no promise in them at all...Illegitimate children...Bastards of my own ignorance and numerous misnomerings of things that did not deserve numbers nor names...And as a new winter presses on, I find myself pregnant with promise again; bracing myself for an embrace that will erase the old things that abated and bate me...

Memories: By Chira Martin...


Chira is my best friend...She's the best friend a gal could have...And before I turn into a soggy-eyed sap, I'll end this by stating how blessed I am to have so many talented people in my life...


MEMORIES


They flow over and downwards and pool where thoughts have crossed only to be misunderstood. Their overture to an audience yearning for pleasure incites revulsion instead. Abruptly, they cease and are held in reserve until sensibility revisits the senses.

Five Minute Poetry/Word of the Day: Gaffe


gaffe \gaf\, noun:
a blunder; faux pas


I've garishly made a gargantuan gaffe

And I'm scoffing at myself as I make calculated moves

Towards finishing this thing off

By thing I mean the thing I thought thoroughly thoughtful enough

To not belittle me in my bereaved stature

Head hanging and hollowed out

Tongue dripping with the secret secretions

The taste of you has left behind

And steadfast in making a return

As if to war

Christmahannukwanzakah: Revisited...

I've been told I have a rather odd sense of humor...That being said, I found this video classically humorous...Seeing as it's the holidays, it deserves a replay...Laugh your face off...If you're odd like me...

Five minute poetry: Mental challenge at my desk...


I gave myself five minutes to write this piece...This is a new experiment I'm doing to push myself further and see how ambidextrous my brain is...If you understand what I mean, you're my hero...If you try it, you're my idol...

I conclude this moment with the concave confines of my copious complexity

I've been a bit recluse and recklessly rekindling the reconnaissance of restlessness rendered ruthless

So to appease myself I made it less apparent that I am an apparition to his appetite

Writing waxed, willing and woven words into

Manuscripts that melt magnificently on the tongue...

Aja x Washington Post Express: Funny...


SO I'm at the Clipse Playcloths Event a wee bit tipsy and such...There's cameras everywhere and oddly everybody wants a flick (I think it was the company I was keeping - Carolyn is gorgeous!)...Next thing I think, there's a reporter from the Washington Post asking me to answer a question...I gave my best, honest, spontaneous answer...Like to hear it, here it go...

Question: Which star should have a clothing line?
"Colin Munroe. He's such an intellectual, different individual"

I dunno, I was half drunk and had to answer on the fly - at least we had the smiles right...In all honesty though, I really really dig Colin's style and would love to see what he could conjure up for a clothing line...I'm sure he could pull it off...

Word of the Day: Intrepid...


intrepid ..in-TREP-id.., adjective:


Fearless; bold; brave; undaunted; courageous; as, an intrepid soldier; intrepid spirit.


I find your intellect quite interesting

And I'm intrepid enough to try and interpret your interior

Undaunted, I sailed your radio waves

Petrified, you capitulate to my discovery

And I'm sitting on the edge of your sanity

Holding all your precious knowledge

And laughing jovially

Because the feast of your thoughts

Fuels my intrepid nature...
