My new poetry collection, Trash//America, is free right now on Kindle. Would you do me a favor and get a copy and leave a verified purchase review?
Doing that will boost my visibility, and will only cost you a little bit of your time.

Epitaph For A Bass Player by Lara Dolphin
An upright man would pluck the strings.
Now in his place,
next to the bass.
Devout Sandalphon spreads his wings.

The front cover of the paperback first edition of Selected Poems by Robert Hayden. Below the title a sunflower stretches horizontally, with its yellow-petaled black-eyed blossom on the left and its stem (in black) stretch to the right. Three leaves attach delicately to the stem, two rising up from it, one (in the middle) stretching towards the author's name below the flower.
"Sudden brightness clove the preying
darkness, brightness that was
itself a golden darkness, brightness
so bright that it was darkness."
- Robert Hayden, from "The Ballad of Nat Turner"

wasted so much time
trying to figure out
what I was doing wrong
finally figured it out
it was not me
it was never me

My title is Kalmato.expression
The expression is as in 'expressionist'- many endeavors, mostly creative.
I write poetry, I practice music (at least piano), and visual arts.
'Art, Poetry, and Music'
Technically more, but the pillars ^^

Soft rain whispers on petals outside,
We sip warm coffee as the world slows wide,
Each drop paints memories in gentle hue,
Where flowers bloom with thoughts of me and you.

Urban fox curled up in the grass by the sidewalk, watching the cars go by
she does the best
she can.
she stayed
even when
the city
coiled up slowly
around her
there was
nowhere else
to go.
she stays
even though
she knows
it will never
feel like
home
she does the best
she can.
