Shout-out to Rachel Schmeltzer and her blog post (which can be found via the following link https://thebalancewheel.org/2021/11/29/when-the-honeymoon-phase-is-over/ ) for inspiring me to write this poem. She also asks questions (“…how do you handle a block?” and “What brings you joy?”) that I answer in the comments section after her post. So if you’re curious or interested, check them out and her blog over at https://thebalancewheel.org/blog/ .

A feather duster might cause a bird to wonder: Was that feather duster a sister or a brother

Fowl may be supper for a hunter feeling hunger.

What if this is a nightmare for birds (in their slumber)?

Voodoo Maker, Dark Mermaid, Small Cube of Cheese, Spiderweb, and The 13th Month

are the titles of five of my poems that I posted over at my other blog When Deadlines Become Zombies (that can be found via link https://zfthrimej.wordpress.com ). For some reason when I try to search for them online, the results are not leading to these five (at least not yet).

So in an effort to improve their chances of being found and hopefully perused, i’m posting links to these five poems after their titles. Here they are:
