Pop Up Poetry: “A Bird Without Joy”

#PopUpPoetry for my beloved bartender at@archivecoffeeandbar. #TipYourBartenderInPoetry “A Bird Without Joy” for Josh. He has the best requests. My kind of #oldsoul. ❤

In Defense of the Moon

The poor thing either gets slaughtered in sloppy, overly-glorified, personification-heaped love poetry, or gets made fun of…misunderstood by those who don’t appreciate its quietly haunting beauty, nor its purpose and value to us. To the improperly sung hero of the night sky…I salute you. And I am sorry for all our wrongdoing and disrespect. We’ve tarnished your good name.

The Oregon Trail (A Collaboration with Eddie Cabbage)

Apparently I died of dysentery along the Oregon Collaboration Trail… Thanks @eddiecabbage. -__- #RhetoricalRedhead #EddieCabbage #NewHighScore #ISurvivedEverything #ExceptDysentery #EddieGaveItToMe #PremeditatedMurder #ImComingForYouAsshole #OregonTrailRatedMForMature #AndTheyCallThisAKidsGame #DonnerPartyDinnerParty

Haiku #114

Managed to sneak in a handwritten haiku during the move on the only paper I could find… Writing will resume soon and I cannot wait to have my new writing corner! Woo!

Quote by Marianne Williamson

What’s not to love about this poem by Marianne Williamson? What an encouraging and insightful piece of prose! I have this sitting on my writing desk for inspiration, and as a daily reminder of who I am and who He calls me to be, as a woman, as a friend, as a wife, and as a writer. As the year closes and a new one dawns, I draw upon this poem for what my goals and desires for this next year will look like. A new chapter is opening for me and my writing career; there is no room for…

Pop Up Poetry On Demand 12.16.2014

My dear friend, Eddie Cabbage, and I decided to do a non-collaboration by hosting Pop Up Poetry On Demand together this evening, combining my #PopUpPoetry and his #PoetryOnDemand. We opened up our Instagram feed to poetry subjects as requested by our followers and friends alike, and the following post is a gallery of what we came up with: 12 custom poems by each writer, so 24 total. (Yes, a long post, but we promise it’s worth the read!) I’m always in awe of Eddie’s improv poem abilities, and I am beyond blessed and privileged to have him as my mentor, my colleague, and most importantly, my invaluable friend. Thanks for such a fun evening, everyone! And remember, you can purchase these poems via Etsy as a 2-poem-package, typed and signed by Eddie and me. Enjoy!

You can follow @eddiecabbage on Instagram and on his website at EddieCabbage.com.
