I’ve been combing through my poems in order to revise, combine shorter ones and reformat them all into a chapbook for various competitions. I don’t normally submit to contests, but I feel like I finally have a large enough collection of decent poems to start submitting to a few. Hopefully, I will hear back within two or three months. I will probably go through my blog and set many of them to private while under renovation and submitting to journals. However, I wanted to post this one for a few days because I thought I tweaked it well. Let me know what you think!
Plunge with me
into madness ~
the moon's
cool eye
won't judge
us now
for
She’s seen it all
clever
entanglements
mean looks
whimpering breaths ~
she’s tasted clouds
and feels
darkness
too
Lovely, Tricia. I can’t wait to read your chapbook. I imagine page after page of intriguing sensuality. Best of luck in your mixing and matching.
Thanks, I hope I can find a publisher, but I was pleased with the 20 poems I revised this past week, so I’m happy! It’s funny how sentimental I get reading back through old poems, I’m like all emotional again! 🤣
Nice work 🌝 good luck with your chapbook and submissions 😊
Thanks!! There are a bunch with deadlines coming up so I am getting serious! 💕
It is haunting and mysterious, intriguing and sad. I feel very drawn by it. It feels like music – the mood it evokes.
❤️ Thanks so much! I definitely want to draw the reader in. ❤️
Madness under the “moon’s cool eye” then its unexpected sensuousness despite having seen it all — I like the intertwined reckless and cool eyed quality of the whole poem. Gives it a very unique flavor. ❤️
So happy you enjoyed it! I appreciate your thoughts! 💓
