The issue is that I miss you,
I’ve been missing you since,
Before you left for far, far away.
Will there come a day,
When I’m no longer longing? Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #116 – Issues”

Misplaced Missive #104 – Cage
You belong in a cage,
Trapped with the other animals.
How dare you think yourself loved?
Is there any you wouldn’t place yourself above?
We you see beneath you,
We hate you, praise those,
That locked you away. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #104 – Cage”
Saturday of Book Reviewing – Burnham’s Egghead: Or, You Can’t Survive on Ideas Alone
Written by Bo Burnham and illustrated by Chance Bone, Egghead was published in 2013. I was familiar with Burnham’s stand up, and really, that’s why I first purchased the book.
Is Arkangel a Replacement God for the Next Generation of Parents?
S 4:E02 Synopsis: ‘Worried about her daughter’s safety, single mom Marie signs up for a cutting-edge device that monitors the girl’s whereabouts – and much more.
Ostensibly, this is a story about an overprotective parent suffering the natural consequences of that parenting style taken to its logical extreme. The triggers are twofold; first comes the difficult birth and stillborn scare, second is single mom Marie losing young Sara, her shiny new munchkin, whilst at the playground. The kid is found fast, but it’s too late: the fear has taken hold and Marie believes, ardently, that she needs help.

Song Share and Intention Update!
I click on pretty much any content that has ‘wolf’ in the title. This time it worked well in my favor.
Right. Soo this is my attempt at a Stevie-like update. Please don’t expect this to become a regular occurrence as it feels awkward as all hell to be jotting life down this way, but here goes: Continue reading “Song Share and Intention Update!”
Misplaced Missive #87 – Goodbye
life lost in a flash:
all our memories rush passed,
all the good, all the bad,
Last moment of the treasured Past,
before the Present becomes painful.
bad luck of a die cast,
Future lost and potential dashed. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #87 – Goodbye”

The less I can see.
A universe full of stars
The brightest blinding me. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #81 – Blind”
Saturday of Book Reviewing – Ginsberg’s Howl and Other Poems
This isn’t so much a review as it is an admittance of inadequacy: I do not possess the proper background to get the most out of these poems. Howl, the piece from which this book takes its name, was first published in 1956, a post WWII masterpiece. I’ve heard amazing things about Ginsberg’s work ‘defining a generation’ and you know what? I guess on a surface level I get that… but not to the depths. Continue reading “Saturday of Book Reviewing – Ginsberg’s Howl and Other Poems”
