My goodness! It's been a long time since I did a Saturday poetry post...
Here's a new one.
(New erotic poem soon!)

I'll go first...
Yes

Did someone ever break your heart so bad it changed who you are forever? 💔

I've begun to realize, the space where you live in my chest may never become my own again.

Really? Another one?
It just seems like it's impossible to have any fun, without somebody getting their knickers in the twist. 🤦

My favorite movie quote about love...

From the new WIP...
"I danced in the fire, believing the burn meant you were finally close enough to feel."
#WIP #writerslife

To be fair, he didn't say *which* Monday...

How to carry it without letting it hollow her out. It lived in the spaces he never reached for, in the words he never said aloud, in the quiet, aching understanding that some love stories are meant to be felt deeply, but never fully lived.

An excerpt from the new book I just started writing...

For her, falling in love was never the hard part. It came quietly, like breath, like something her heart already knew how to do without asking permission. The harder truth was learning how to hold that love without being held in return.

It wasn't what you did was hurt the most. It was how easily you let me believe I mattered, before deciding I didn’t. 💔
#YesIStillLoveYou

I miss the quiet certainty
of your hand in mine,
how it made the world
feel smaller & kinder.
Now my fingers
close on empty space,
remembering
the shape of you
as if touch could linger
after you’re gone.

Beautiful 🙏

I was so thrilled when Michael B. Jordan won the Oscar!

So excited about the new Firefly animated series!
Browncoats forever!

Don't we all wish for pie? 🥧

Well, here's another reason to get rid of my Hulu subscription. 🤷

Another poem from my erotica collection, "coming" in 2027.

a pie with pi written on it is on a wooden table ALT: a pie with pi written on it is on a wooden table

I know what I wish for on Pi Day (and every other day until my wish comes true). 🙏

I know there are people who enjoy skydiving, but I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Actors Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell with author Allyson Joule.

I got to meet these three glorious humans back in December. They were ALL amazing. While I agree Wil and Jerry will do a great job, the Academy is wrong not to invite Corey too.

Another Monday, another first line of a poem bouncing around in my head...

I carry your absence like a wound that healed around the shape of your name.

How much do I hate Daylight Savings Time? Let me count the ways...

It's Saturday and I've written a new long-form poem!
(Amazing how that works... 😉)

Only 13,544 days until official first contact with the Vulcans. #StarTrek 🖖

I love Murder By Death! Such a great goof on classic detectives.
