This week's installment in the world of the Six Sentence Café is a bit special. It happens to be the night of the poetry slam, my 100th post on this blog, and the first time in a very long while that I've added a recording to one of my poems (and kept it as natural as...

a POEM IN SIX #3 | Prompt Word: FIRE | Linked to dVerse OLN
This week I came up with a prose/poem thingie for the six-sentence story hop. The weekly prompt words—this week it's FIRE—are provided by Denise. You can access all the entries and sixers of the week at the link-up. I have also linked it up at the dVerse Open Link...
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...
dVerse OLN #5 | My Ars Poetica
I originally wanted to submit this for the last dVerse Poetica submission.... But I was late to the link-up because life got in my way... I still wanted to use this prompt, so I linked it up at the OLN. Entries of all the participants can be found here. My Ars Poetica...
dVerse OLN #4 | Promiscuous Muse
I had trouble coming up with a poem for this week's dVerse Poets Open Link Night, so naturally I blamed the muse for the lack of ideas rather than the fact that I stayed up half the night and expected to write something coherent the next morning while running on three...
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...
dVerse OLN #2 | Autopsy of Inheritance
This is my second entry for the dVerse Poets Pub Open Link Night. If you enjoy poetry or prose, whether you liked mine or not, you can find many more poems over at dVerse, where they regularly post different prompts and blog-hops, or you can explore the other...
dVerse OLN #1 | Soft Violence
This is my first time participating in a blog-hop for poetry. Be sure to visit the dVerse Poets Pub page and other participants work in the linkup. Soft Violence My soul craves the soft violenceof devouring poems, one by onethe vulture,never full. Words like...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #3 | Immortalized | Linked to dVerse OLN
This is yet another old piece of poetry from the first Margins collection, where I glued together some of my older poems with a newer reflection... I'm linking it up at the dVerse Open Link Night, where many poets showcase their craft. You can access all the entries...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #2 | Flammable | Linked to dVerse OLN
This piece is part of Margins of the First Draft — a collection of poetry that was originally written in my teens or early adulthood. I think it was fun to revisit some of them and *add additional poetry to the margins*. As I have mentioned, am now sharing them with...
