On My Poetry Forum for Review: Step on All of Us

Step on All of Us is a hybrid poem that blends the sixteen bars of a hip hop/rap and classical couplet poetry.

This poem is political in nature and the first of an upcoming chapbook called: United. This poem is being switched over to Undawnted's YouTube Channel. Subscribe and leave a comment. 

 

No matter what your political leanings are, some truths cannot be argued. The media has destroyed our country with lies and manipulation. It is time to call this yellow journalism out. This poem is the first step in the creative writing community to do just that.

Undawnted's Halloween Poetry Event Continues on My Poetry Forum

So far, I have published for review some Halloween-themed poetry on Undawnted's YouTube Channel. These poems are as follows:

Breathe
Identity
The Collection

One more poem will be released before Halloween. Be sure to look for that post when it comes in the coming days.

These poems will be on the forum until the end of autumn, which for Undawnted is when Autumn Cider Seasonal Reads ends on November 30th, and then will be removed so that others may be placed in their stead. 

I wouldn't want to bore my audience.

I will also be attending Sonoran Dawn Studios' Upon Hallow Ground Reanimated 2020.  

I hope you will join me in celebrating books, music, and entertainment from around the world.

Thank you for your continued support.

Have a great and wonderful day!

Breathe in The Descent this Autumn Season

The Descent is "a darker breed of poetry."

As readers have wrote:

"As a genre poet myself, I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this."

"This is first for me. I have never read genre poetry before. I love it. Hugely imaginative and utterly unique..."

Breathe is one of those poems that settles into one's soul. So grab some chocolate and red wine. Then nestle with a blanket and a pet with a fire in the fireplace... as one reader suggested she did and enjoyed this poem in all its flavors, repeatedly. She added that: 

"The poem is as scrumptious and sensual as it is dark and deep."

So delve deep into your sultry side with each breath. 

Grab your copy today... The Descent.

_____

The Descent is getting a new cover! 

DL Mullan created the cover art to better reflect the poetry within the pages of this darker breed of poetry.

Two Nominations on My Poetry Forum for the poem: Pretend

Poetry allows the writer to expand on ideas and philosophies. Pretend is such a poem about Existentialism. The poem is a mirror with which to see ourselves and our current status in religion, politics, and our own personal embodiment.

 

Pretend seems to spark that same sentiment in others as the poem was nominated twice on a poetry site.

The poem has garnered accolades including: "It's the best poem I have ever read" on a forum that has since closed.  

Thank you so very much.

If you would like to read the poem for yourself and leave a review, then please head on over to Undawnted's YouTube Channel.

Have a great and wonderful day.

Lift not the painted veil which those who live by Percy Shelley

For truth, and like the Preacher found it not.
Lift not the painted veil which those who live
Call Life: though unreal shapes be pictured there,
And it but mimic all we would believe
With colours idly spread,--behind, lurk
Fear And Hope, twin Destinies; who ever weave
Their shadows, o'er the chasm, sightless and drear.
I knew one who had lifted it--he sought,
For his lost heart was tender, things to love,
But found them not, alas! nor was there aught
The world contains, the which he could approve.
Through the unheeding many he did move,
A splendour among shadows, a bright blot
Upon this gloomy scene, a Spirit that strove
