Empty

So one more for today. Another Medusa piece and probably one of my personal favorites. I don’t know if any of this is publishable, but I have had one piece published in The Beltaine Papers (well, one of my own and one that was co-written with wendytorrence). So that was a personal high for me. I love seeing my work in print and I love hearing what others think of it. Even the bad comments help because I can try to see what they are not seeing or are seeing in the piece that makes them uncomfortable.
If Medusua Were A Mermaid

I love mythology. I love using mythology in poetry. This was written for my Heart after he had told me of a love gone wrong. Very very very wrong. Medusa is one of my favorite “mythos” people. I have another poem started on her “why I chose Medusa for a name”, but it is sitting in a notebook waiting for my pen to reach out to it again.
Medusa’d Heart

This was written during an ice storm in Griffin, Ga. Obviously other things were happening in my life as well. Dying Trees

This is a poem I wrote when I was falling in love with my Heart. It never went anywhere other than a powerfully strong friendship, but sometimes I still wonder, what if. The title is a phrase I used to use alot. Fair Enough

I remember talking with someone about a black dog and how it related to Hecate. This is a poem I wrote sometime after that. The shadow of the black dog is something I actually did see. There was no dog there to cast that shadow either. Full Death Moon
