Brother, angel
me, a slow cat growl,
he, an ocean blue seer,
a son of blushing peace
me, the wilder,
would bleed self velvet
dazzle you cake cool
long not for desire,
die by concrete crap
forgive from belly.
(Another poem inspired by the Oracle. Try it out.)
Finding the odd among the ordinary
Hoping to inspire the world one word at a time.
I am not an expert, and I don't care that you want me to be one.

EVERY HEART HOLDS A STORY...
Photography, memoirs, random thoughts.
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a cursed prophetess. She was gifted with prophecy but the curse ensured her predictions would never be believed. Not that it stopped her from speaking out. It behoves all of us to speak out about what is wrong but also about what is right. We can do that in our creativity whether it be prose, poetry or painting. What matters is the message.

I was like, “Don’t say he’s dead, don’t say he’s dead,” the whole time I read! It made me really like the siblings, and I’m impressed at how you were able to forge characters in such a short space!

Thank you. This was forged from magnetic poetry, although the characters are pretty true – my brother was elevated to angel in my mother’s eyes. Always steamed me, lol.

I like this V.J. – so much below the words that those of us with sibs get on many levels
