the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #12 | a Freaky One?
This week's storyline for the Nervous Poet was also sourced from the red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse). The prompt word—FUNCTION—was provided by Denise, aka the Bartender, host of the Six Sentence Story blog hop. All the stories for the week—within the café and outside of it—can be accessed through the link-up. As I was writing this weeks' installment and editing it I was listening to Rotting Christ—one of my favorite bands from Greece. the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #12 Aurelia paced back and forth in her tiny one-room while gripping onto a flyer Denise, aka the Bartender, had handed her with the strength of—umm—well… as if this flyer itself had the might to attack her. "I don't know if I can do this… they called me the poetry freak… even took my notebook and read it in front of...
dVerse POETICS #2 | I am a Great Lover Too
This was a rather interesting prompt from dVerse Poetics, asking us to write a poem inspired by The Great Lover by Rupert Brooke. As I had already been rather productive in the area of writing today, I thought there were worse ways to end the day than by writing a rather quick poem before diving into editing my other work for Thursday... UGH, editing... You can read all the other wonderful entries by many talented poets at the link-up. I am a Great Lover Too These I have loved: The long walks through chilly nights,the sleeping city, once so busy and loud,now the only sound: my feet hitting the pavement,so peaceful and quiet, smelling of summer. The serenity of befriending my solitude,my greatest companion: me, myself, and I.Got the whole apartment to myself for the day,reading, writing,...
Ten Thing of Thankful #16 |Blogosphere & Writing
It's time to show my weekly grats' again. A blog-hop that is like no other as it's all about finding the good in life and sharing it with the world… it doesn't even have to be very long or elaborate as mine is to raise one's mood... Seriously though, if you don't wanna write your own... then reading all the entries of other participants is already enough to lift the spirits. Ten Thing of Thankful #16 First—Six Sentence Café & Bistro I have already expressed how glad I am to be included in this collaborative world. However, I had serious trouble with coming up with a plot for the story this week and so, I waited until someone else had published theirs and well… I got my inspiration from...
Short Story | Demigods are Worshipped in Wine
This short story delves into the life of a woman who uses poetry, wine, and music as a way to worship a love that never materializes. For quite a long time, my writing was inspired by 19th-century writers and their way of portraying obsessive and unrequited love. If I’m honest, I don’t really like my old stories, because it feels like I was always trying to be something I’m not as a writer. I don’t write compelling plotlines like many of the authors I read in the blog-hop community. However, they were written because I wanted to hone my ability to write plots, which has never been my strongest skill as a poet. Short Story | Demigods are Worshipped in Wine This night was like many others. She was preparing her space to write poetry. It was as if she was preparing to worship a God of a...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #17 | Realization
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft — what the hell is this even and where did it come from. I like the poem itself. I sure did have a theatrical way to convey love... Love is not that bad at all... or sad... (Authors Note) Realization And so I have been doomed, to walk this earth Without my love by my side, Cursed to live And write letters unheard Poetry on the Margins #17 Melodramatically laid, on display About the painting —I think one tit should show.And maybe,a bitof an ankle? (referring to the last poem)

a POEM IN SIX #2 | Prompt Word: YARN | Linked to dVerse OLN
Какая ночь! Я не могу and Не гляди на меня с упрёком: These songs were playing on repeat as I wrote this poem. I used to write like this quite often—from an emotion or thought evoked by a song—and I wanted to see if I could still do it. So the poem is largely inspired...
Ten Thing of Thankful #13 | Writing, Poetry & Music
Showing my gratitude weekly has become something of an enjoyable routine for me. The Ten Thing of Thankful blog hop has this mood-lifting effect, both from trying to find your own ten grats' for the list and from reading everyone else's. You can find all the other...

Six Sentence Story #25 | Prompt Word: PINCH
For this week's Six Sentence Story—the prompt Denise provides us every week—I wrote a rather sad and dark piece of prose from the point of view of someone forced to care for a loved one struggling with addiction. As the subject may be distressing for some readers,...
