What the title says! On a whim, I decided to gather all the words from the titles of my highest rated books and see how I could rearrange them into a poem of sorts. Then I gathered up other groups of books, mostly from my end of the year posts, and did the same a few more times. So that was my way of keeping it random, not trying to choose "good" titles or coherent themes or anything. I didn't...
It's just about Halloween, and that means another set of supernatural creature poems! I'll admit these might not be my best (I'm tired, I almost didn't even do these at all), but they might be my last. This is now 16 supernaturals that I've written poems about, and I'm running out of options, especially when they have a whole little formula I have to meet that limits the options even more. So...
It's October, and that means I'm back with more supernatural creature poems! I didn't plan for this to become an annual thing, but I enjoy the little challenge of writing these poems. Last year's got a bit dark, so this year, I decided to focus on supernaturals being helpful, or at least neutral, toward humans. Quick reminder that, in each poem, if you read just the first word of each line, it...
Someone tried to steal my poem! And I'm a famous anonymous poet! I promise this isn't becoming a poetry blog. This is a poem I wasn't planning on posting here because it's not really a good fit for a sci-fi/fantasy book blog. But these discoveries were too strange not to share. When I first shared this poem on the internet in 2013, it spread around quite a bit among gymnasts. I knew it...
I know I just posted a poem last week, but I'm back with more! Last year, in October, I posted some poems about supernatural creatures. Each was four lines, and the first word of each line also formed a sentence that related to the creature. They were fun and a bit of a challenge, so I decided to write some more this year! And I decided to again stick with some common, well-known monsters and...
I wrote this poem in 2019 for a little competition, but then the competition never ended up happening, so I figured I'd just share it here! The rules were that the entry had to be under a certain number of words, had to be about alien abduction, and it had to include at least two words from a specific list. I was particularly inspired by one of the words, and this is what I came up...
I came up with this idea for some short supernatural creature poems some time ago, and I thought October would be the perfect time to finally write and share them! Not that I need it to be October to talk about supernatural creatures, but still :-P It should be pretty obvious which supernatural each poem is about, but I'll put the answers at the end in case you all want to have some fun...
A couple months ago, I had mermen on the brain, so I ended up writing a poem about one! It was partly inspired by something I came across on the internet in which someone suggested maybe mermaids didn't mean to drown people (it turns out there is in fact a poem written by Yeats about this very thing). It was also partly inspired by numerous pieces of merman art I saw in which the mermen looked...

So. I rarely share my poetry because it's always been a very personal thing for me, something I write for myself and myself only (unless I'm specifically writing it for a contest or a gift or something). But April is National Poetry Month! And I have decided to share a few of my shorter poems! These are all years old, nothing recent. Some of these weren't written with anyone or anything in...
Just to refresh your memory, when Part 1 ended, our lovely drunk couple had just come up with the brilliant idea of eating all the ice cream before it melts and adding alcohol to it... And since I decided the rest of the story would just flow better if it stayed all together, here's Part 2, the final part, in the short...
