The moon glows behind tall, bare trees at twilight. Its light veiled by soft clouds, casting a dreamy halo in a deepening blue sky.

He sings to the stars,
hoping one will fall for him,
the sky is unmoved.

[An Untitled Poem]

I miss your smile;

your laughter;

your eyes;

I even miss the

harsh words you

I got the first copy of this paperback, and I think it might be my best-looking paperback ever. (WHICH IS REALLY SAYING SOMETHING.) Just the colors and the textures, and the perfect reddish-pink edges ... I need to take a photo that does it justice.

My pleasure!

So beautiful, @8rid6et.bsky.social!

Little Boy Lost My first acrostic poem

I posted a rough version of this poem a few days ago, but not completely satisfied with it, I dug a little deeper into the emotional aspect of it and this is what I wrote. I think this one is more personal, raw, and vulnerable. I hope you like it.

Targeted (War on Autism) It's a scary time we're living in..

I don't usually get political in general, and certainly not in poetry, but it's my most effective way of self-expression.
