Book cover of Beautiful Little Fools: Poetry of Glamour, Obsession, and the Gilded Age by The Broken Spine. The design features a stylized, Cubist-inspired illustration of a 1920s man and woman in formal attire—he in a tuxedo and fedora, she in a cloche hat and sharp bob—set against a fragmented cityscape with bold geometric shapes in black, white, crimson, and grey. The title appears in an elegant serif font over a rich burgundy background, with The Broken Spine’s fountain pen logo in the corner.

You Go To My Head You Go To My Head by Ronan Murphy

Ronan is an amazing wordsmith. I was fortunate to "meet" him in a #brokenspinearts poetry reading zoom. I was impressed, and this single impressed me again.

A poem: Fleeting Joy
Today, I have no aches.
My breathing is steady and satisfying. 
My bills are paid and there is no council tax this month. 
The hens have started laying.
Even the mild, dry weather is my friend.
I have enough energy to bake a cake
and my mug of green tea is just the right temperature. 
On Friday, I am off to London for a concert at the Barbican
and soon it's my birthday. 
So what vile, stomach-sucking horror is waiting for me…
...just around the corner?

I am sure we have all felt like this. It is good to notice when al is well, but there is a down side to happiness. #brokenspinearts #poetry #happiness
