You Ever Hear That Old Chestnut About How Most People Neglect The Part Of The Story Of Icarus Where He

— Jenny Slate, Little Weirds

if you can’t get love from yourself, of course you’d beg other people for it

I love pop rocks, can I have some more [x]

I picked up

one of those perfect published

poetry anthologies

flipping through its pages

fumbling for this authors sense of style

tripping headfirst into the phrase

“if writing would kill you, would you still write?”

my joints crack on impact

god there are weeks

when i can’t even dream

of pen and paper’s sordid affairs

but there are moments upon moments

where it’s the only impulse

I have left

i may never achieve

that coveted haven

on a barnes and nobles

new releases shelf

but god damn

i

will

write

until

i

die

or

i

cease

to

be

complete

twenty years across the sea

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱

May you never lose joy in writing
