the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #4 | the Batgirl and Denise
This week it was not Aurelia who had gotten herself into a pickle but the author/narrator herself… We had summer solstice and a few birthdays to celebrate this week, and I genuinely left the story until the last minute because I somehow messed up the days. I thought it was MONDAY!!!! HOW???? WHERE DID TIME GO???? The prompt for the Six Sentence Stories is provided by Denise (yes, the same Denise from the story) and other sixes can be read at the link-up . the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #4 “Hey, Batgirl, you came back,” the tender of the bar tried to break the ice and, if I may say so, she had succeeded in getting a shy smile out of the Nervous Poet, who was still trying to figure out why everyone was being so nice to her. Perhaps her skittish nature came from her past experiences…
dVerse OLN #3 | Web of Interpretation
My third entry to the dVerse Open Link Night for poetry. This piece is perhaps one of the most experimental, visceral, and metaphorically exaggerated poems I’ve written in a long time. Anyway, as this is a blog hop, I cannot let you begin reading without mentioning that we have a link-up where you can find more poetry to feed the hunger. Web of Interpretation I am engulfed by my tortuous desireto make out with a god.I want to shove my tongue in his mouth,inhale his secrets and keep them in my belly, I want to trace his skin like my favorite bookwhile reciting the lines I find most fascinatinguntil “out of context”becomes embedded in my language. I’d do so just to entertain the musethat has been chanting poetry in my earfrom the time I read faerie-tales. But instead,I have been…
Ten Thing of Thankful #7 | A Journey Through Estonia
Time for a new Ten Thing of Thankful post. As tomorrow I am going to my boyfriend’s friend’s graduation in Viljandi, I am posting a day earlier than usual. This week was cool because I finally went out of my apartment, lol. I have been cooped up in here like a proper goblin or something (except for visiting mummy), because everything I like (my computers, coffee machine, music collection, books, bed, etc.) is here, haha. Also this thankful is a bit different, am sorry for the flood of photos but I got nostalgic. Anyway, as always, we have other participants in the blog-hop too and all of the entries can be found at the link-up . Ten Thing of Thankful #7 AKA a Guided Tour of Estonia by an…
Short Story | Melody Behind Her Voice
I tried to write a short story about love and its ties to memory —the little things that linger. It became one of the most difficult of goodbyes to write too. In this short story we follow a man torn between holding on and letting go. I think that this one is actually one of my strongest pieces in this corner of my blog as it sounds more like constructed story with a clear plot and less of a mumble of words. Short Story | Melody Behind Her Voice In this moment, he couldn’t understand how the melody in her voice could have disappeared. He sat on the edge of her bed and realized that time, it had been cruel to her. It seemed as if it were just yesterday that they walked hand in hand on the riverbank, her golden locks flying in the wind and the scent of strawberries lingering in the air…
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #14 | It Hurts
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—in some of the literature I read a lot as a teen, the theme of praying to a god or a mother was quite strong. I borrowed that idea; it wasn’t mine. The words are though. (Authors Note) It Hurts Oh God, oh Mother, I pray to thee Please Help me Poetry on the Margins #14 Aftermath Why does it seem, in times like these,that to loveis to die? I still thinkthat the ability to love another is a gift,and the ability to love once moreis even more of a gift. And to love for a decade, or two —is even a bigger gift. Love transforms us.It truly does. For love doesn’t just come in “one size fits all” —and sometimes, it doeshurt a little. There’s…

Six Sentence Story #20 | Prompt Word: PUZZLE
Another week has passed again, and it’s time for a new six-sentence story. This week I did something a bit different… Even if, in my case, the first person was solely used because the third person took away from the story, I think it is something a lot of us can…
