How can I summarize those sultry SUMMER EYES? I’ve got 90 seconds to try before blasting off into the wide blue yonder. #SummerPoems Winter slept in her smile Frosted her fingertips in spikes made her colder than the methane seas of Titan but she was our goddess. #inpoems #TastyPoem From this vantage I see which army has the advantage It isn’t mine. Magic crackles, flares Do I dare return To face death & defeat? #DarkLines Evil shadows the soul Never allowing its sunny side to go far Without hearing its whispered proclamations of doom. Can a plastic world addicted to … Continue reading Winter slept in her smile
