The dark emotions of the underworld coat the rhymes of the poem: Zombie.
Undawnted's Youtube unnarrated video of: Arsonist, which is in the chapbook, Effloresce, debuted yesterday evening.
Sometimes, you just don't want someone's voice interrupting you or to have to hear their taste in really weird music to enjoy some poetry. Now, you have the option of sitting in bed and relaxing with some award-level poetry with no interruptions.
What a great way to end a hectic day.
Undawnted offers these Silent Movie versions for this exact reason.

I wanted something more for Undawnted as to the change of seasons.
Therefore, I created four different book covers: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. I wanted to jot down how the seasons reflected my inner dialogue. These books will be an amalgamation of art, prose, and poetry.
If others would like to join this e-book, then I can make an anthology series. I would publish the books under the Sonoran Dawn Studios (my publishing house) banner. If no one joins this unique series, then I will write it off as C'est la vie, such as life.
Here are the book covers so far.
If you would like to participate, please drop me a line using the Contact Form. 
Have a great and seasonal day!
Apart of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration, we are reviewing the Power of Myth in our lives.
Poor little Isis, whose husband has been thrown into the Nile, starts this wonderful quest for Osiris, So she comes to the place where the palace is, and learns of the wonderful aroma and she suspects this is Osiris. And she gets a job as nurse to the just-born little child. Well, she lets the child nurse from her finger. And she loves the little child, and she decides to give it immortality. So she does this by placing him in the fireplace in the fire, to burn away gradually his mortal body. But being a goddess she could keep that from killing him, you understand. And when that would happen, she would convert herself into a swallow, and fly mournfully around the pillar where her husband is."
~Joseph Campbell, author of the Power of Myth

Behind Closed Doors, a collection of unusual poems
What goes on behind closed doors: in the boardroom, after death, in the home, during lockdown, and in nature? This collection of poems, ranging from rhyming verse to twisted nursery rhymes, captures the emotions and thoughts people hide behind the masks they present to the world.
What thoughts are hidden
Behind her immobile face
Quite expressionless
Eyes cold and indifferent
Scrutinising me – hawk like

It's summer time.
The Threshold to Adventure is right before you. What will you choose? A vacation to a destination you have never been before? To serve your country? Take a position at another company? Or, to begin college for the first time?
So what is your Call to Adventure? What Threshold to do you stand before?
It's summer... take that first step.
After four years of being told that I could not get a refinance loan or any type of loan, not because of bad credit, but because I had already financed my property at the lowest available rate. The banks would not refinance if I could not get a lower rate by at least one percentage point.
I was stuck. I had already received air conditioning finance estimates starting at $150 a month for four years. On a fixed income, that was not doable.
So I had tried three or four times over the duration, but not through covid, to raise the $7500 that I had been quoted for a new system. I live in Arizona. Central air is about survival, not luxury. A handful of friends flocked to my banner, but the amount raised ($350ish) was nowhere near enough to purchase a unit.
The art and writing communities at large never bothered once. That was disheartening from my point of view. For communities that push love, light, and inclusion for everyone... I was very much excluded. Sounds like that ideology is just an excuse to be prejudiced against people they do not agree with.
I disagree with many people, but have never left someone to die. I help where I can and I have helped a lot. Far more than many people who claim to be inclusive.
Even though certain communities have disappointed me, at least I know I still have friends and a shit load of good luck... see, when you are a good person, you get that type of help from the universe.
Annual percentage rates lowered and my excellent credit afforded me a great refinance package, which led to a new and top of the line air conditioner for an excellent price. After nearly five years of constant worry, I am safe and cool. I will finally have a heater in the winter time too. That means I will be able to write my novels again.
I am so happy.
The universe rewards good deeds and people. While most of you were stuck in your homes during covid... now you know how I live and feel being this sick... I was protecting all of you from hunger and homelessness.
So don't let newly elected politicians tell you that the $1400 was because of them; it was because of me. Just so you know. People take credit for my deeds when they had nothing to do with my work.
I have a few items to do yet, but I will be actively writing poetry and novels this summer. I will be posting more writing exercises too. Although, I will not be updating my Facebook accounts because that social media conglomerate does not believe in factual information that I have provided to my friend's list for over ten years. I am now locked out of my personal and professional accounts, but don't you worry, I always land on my feet.
Life is good now.
I am still going to tell the truth and change the world for the better. That is coming. The wheels are already in motion by good people all over the world. Some people will not accept or like the change, but that is not my problem. I only solve them.
Speaking of solutions: nothing can stop what is coming.
I made a plan and I am sticking to it. You may just like what I am about to do. Who knows, you may just want to get in on the action yourself.
More information in the coming weeks. Watch for news coming out of Sonoran Dawn Studios.
Watch for my new books and cover designs.
I am Stayin' Alive, All By Myself as the songs go: I am on a roll.

Are you a real authentic person, or are you a product of your environment?
I started this journey quite a few years ago. Who am I? What made me stand out from the crowd?
You would think a disabled person with a life-threatening circumstance would get funded without hesitation. Not so. For the religious nation the United States is supposed to be by all accounts by some political individuals, I have about ten good friends who have helped me out in the last ten years, but they have done their duty. I am very grateful for them everyday.
Unfortunately, I cannot say that about most people in the public I run into when doing a fundraiser. That is so sad. Sad, but true.
You would think that asking for $20 was a life-threatening episode to other people in and of itself the way some people carry on. For some reason, I find it hilarious.. and okay, somewhat offensive.
Why because these people are trying to hitch onto my accomplishments. I have done the work: thwarting con artists and scammers. I have shown politicians for what they are. I have gotten information into the right hands. I have challenged the status quo... I have been in the background helping everyone out, so I know who has been naughty and who has been nice.
So when someone states: I am X or Y or Z... I'm like: yeah, this is going to be fun.
There are too many people in our society trying to take credit for doing absolutely nothing positive. Why haven't you helped your neighbor when they have asked? Why are you offended about putting $20 into my fundraiser? Where is the hatred for your fellow American stemming from?
I never read that in any good book.
So what do you think? Will I be able to find 375 good souls to contribute $20 before May?
Do you think it is possible that I could bridge the gap and find common decency, love for your fellow community member, in this climate of elitist hate?
It is possible for me to reach my fundraiser goals, but only with your help.
Here is my fundraiser: There Is No Place Like Home... So Save Hers.
Go ahead. Surprise me with your positive action. Share and Donate today!
Have a great and wonderful day. I know I will be knowing good people are out there helping me on my behalf.
Thank you so very, very much!
