Monday Night Poetry – Vibing With a Wonderful Community

December 24 2024

Monday Night Poetry last night. Two prompts. “What is the object of your hate?” And/or “Introduce yourself, tell us who you are”

Plus a white elephant gift exchange. I’m grateful to have this wonderful community to vibe with. 🖤🖤🖤 As @sidewayseightprojects put it, “We had a wonderfully festive gathering filled with great poetry, holiday beverages, white elephant gifts and community building.” – Jesse

Thank you Jesse James Ziegler for the beautiful, heartfelt Christmas letter. I appreciate you and all that you do for the poetry and art community. You are simply amazing. 💖💖💖

Monday Night Poetry – Simply the Best

September 20 2024

There’s a reason why Monday Night Poetry won the number 1 slot for open mic!!! These people are simply the best. I wrote and shared what I think may be one of my best poems to date. I showed it to Thomas tonight, and they said I should submit it for publication. That’s damn high praise. Thomas read the title and I thought they said, “That sucks”. Nope. “That fucks”. And now I know a new term to compliment something that rocks. 🤣😂🤣 The poem is titled, “i go”.
