the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #14 | Professional Curiosity
This week's entry to the club of very awesome writers in the blog-hop of the Sixers was a gift from the Gods. Seriously. I was just doing my IT Infrastructure homework/lab. I still have so much to do, but being able to take my mind off it for a while and work with a different region of my brain keeps me focused. The weekly prompt words for the Sixes are provided by Denise, and you can access all the entries at the link-up. the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #14 "Fuck, FUCK, FUUCK!" Aurelia screeched at the top of her lungs as the hot coffee dripped down her legs and all the Post-it notes she had just finished reorganizing by importance. To make the scene even more dramatic, I have decided that while she ran to the kitchen nook to get a rag—in a RUSH—she banged her small toe full force...
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 by the original poems, used as lyrics here, but from the perspective of a woman. PS: I've always admired how direct and emotionally unflinching Sergey Yesenin's poetry is. It's all the more haunting knowing that he died not long after writing these... or how the end of his life played out... or how he wrote his last poem... truly... overwhelmingly tragic. Also, Denise gives us the prompt words and hosts the Six Sentence Story hops weekly... all the six-sentence entries of this week can be found at this link-up. I also...
Ten Thing of Thankful #20 | the Car & Time for Self
Time seems to pass by crazy fast ever since university began again, but that doesn't mean I don't have things outside of it to be thankful for… I did try to get out of my school-mind for this week's entry and also a bit this weekend. All the entries for this blog hop are accessible at the link-up. Ten Thing of Thankful #20 First—our BMW is getting fixed. The sills themselves were not that bad at all (only the edges), but they removed all the under-body lining and everything, and it's getting a whole-arse-overhaul… There were a few nasty surprises(it's an old car), but we have already spent a ton of money on it, so there's no use in not doing it correctly. I also got a lot of photos of the...
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)

dVerse PROSERY #2 |Through the Water
This one was written for the dVerse Prosery prompt. The Line we had to use was: " . . . and the iridescent image swims through a mirror that flows.” by Stanley Kunitz (The Atlantic, 1970) and I used the whole 144 words limit. All the other entries can be accessed...
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...
the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #11 | Is it Tickling or Itching?
As am formatting/editing my this weeks' entry to the sixers pub, I am listening to one of the playlists I created on YouTube Music. Not that it has much to do with the unhinged plot Chris sent me on with her six this week, but I thought I would share it. As always,...
