Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—while, yes, we have all gone through a heartbreak or two, it’s rarely as theatrical as those 19th-century plays I was a huge fan of back in the day. Life has a tendency to go on.
The Victorians were a strange bunch, and I think that during this period I was really drawn to their style of writing. Sometimes, it still shows in my newer work.
16.For love to let her go
Oh Dear Lord
At this state,
A knife
Straight into this heart of mine
Would be an act of mercy
Poetry on the Margins #16 Melodrama
This poem makes me want to melodramatically lay on my way-too-modern couch,
with a bottle of red Zinfandel in one hand and a knife in the other,
and bathe myself — and a beautiful wedding gown — in fake blood.
And then,
maybe,
have a picture painted of me.
Sir,
can you paint me
like one of your
French girls?

There's more of my work:
If you like short stories I have them scooped up into one category (including the six-sentence stories).
Or maybe you prefer poetry,, more personal entries can be found at the Blog.
There's also the IT studies blog in Estonian and "Chaos in Spring" on YouTube, Spotify and other streaming services.
