Chipped from the stump of a sunken ash and swoln with the syrupy spittle of lumberjacks, Goldie makes its way spelunking in crazing cracks of decrepit china, dredging up “others”, the moldering orts, the germs and grains, those fringes scuttling squirrels unknowingly nudge from louring lichens; always assembling some strange cut of karass or cadre bent on tickling kittens, always convinced some gold and emboldening day that they may just catch a kitten giggling. ‘Twas a kitten that taught the Kikimora all of its lordly indifference, all of its smug and dismissive grandeur, all its ill-gotten esteem and disturbing gibes. So should they make a kitten laugh, well, maybe they’d finally usher in some of that change you must hear about, gab of the murmurous scree, thrawn gossip of pockmarked stones, the strident slosh of pendulous purses... or maybe they’d just have something to gas about.
Reason for signing up:
Presumably, it’s becoming a habit, though more so, I rather enjoy this forum, believe it to be quite culturally important to Lexington and Kentucky abroad, and relish any excuse to share some dithering scribbling, like it or not.

Hailey enjoys to write poetry and this is her first time sharing her poems with anyone.
Reason for signing up:
I love to write poetry and would love feedback.
Saturday, April 23, 2022 @ 12:59pm
Bio:
Haley is a creative with expertise in media and marketing. Most of all, she is a dreamer, a humble dreamer with a lust for the present. Without an ethereal mix of soul, r&b, and alternative music, her head would be uninspired. Haley has been pen pals with Juliet in Verona, written love notes in Lexington, and buried letters in Nicholasville. For it is the ceremony of pen and paper that sends her into a honeymooned bliss.
Reason for signing up:
I believe a lot of people like to hide behind their writing. Sometimes so much so that the fire meets it first. Sometimes I see that fire dance on my walls in the candlelight. Where fragrance meets fear, cement meets roadblock, and heat meets headache. This act of choosing is a waterfall. I have a voice, and I want to be heard.

I've really slacked on writing in the past few years. Could pin it on all sorts of reasoning, but since reigniting teen howl, the poetry group that made me passionate for the art, I feel a need to throw myself back into it. I look forward to fitting poetry back into my life, no matter how hectic I may see it to be.

Jus Jaszie is a poet. She enjoys life. She hopes to inspire, encourage, and shed positive light in the world one poem at a time

Bio:
Justin is a goofball with a serious side who sometimes gets lost in the dark. He graduated from the University of Kentucky and has gone on with a bunch of ignorance ever since, but sometimes some serious stuff too.
He's alright, but sometimes can be a little abrasive. We've all got our faults, and he's sure got his. Every woman and man is molded by the forces applied against them over time and the force they've applied against everything else as well. Justin ain't no different.
Reason for signing up:
I signed up to force myself to write more and see if people who didn't know me or care about me thought I was good at it. I need to read more from others too. I've never been a big reader, and I know that probably isnt a good thing.
