      A Year in Reading: Ella Baxter

      Dec 6, 2021

      The lowest standard I hold for a book is that I want it to be so psychedelic, so completely discombobulating, that I am torn asunder. I want to read words that turn my bones to dust. The post A Year in Reading: Ella Baxter appeared first on The Milli

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      See, the thing is poet, is that you’re failing.You’re failing at capitalism.You’re failing at “self-care.”You’re failing at feminism.You’re failing at activism.You’ve fallen deep into your addiction.Your despair spreads everywhere.None of this is you

      The Grandma Chronicles - Louie Holyst

      Thanks to Tim and Lisa and the Guilford Free Library

      for their Hard Work, Friendliness, and Perseverance…

      Much Thanks and Love….

      P. S. Doctor Tony Too!

      One of the Greats is Gone

      The great poet has died today

      The one who knows how a caged bird sings

      The world will miss her song

      The world will miss her style 

      We all will miss her language and her tales.

      We all will miss her inner beauty

      And her love for all.

      Her creativity, her imagination, and the stories she told

      May god bless you Dr. Angelou?

      I’m sure there is a place in heaven for you

      I’m sure God will love your stories.

      I do too.

      Thank you for being a part of my life.

      The Legend of the Soda Pop Kid

      Long ago, before time advanced there lived trouble

      He stood about 5’6" and knew the alphabet backwards

      But he was trouble just the same

      They called him the Soda Pop Kid

      And he stood among the heroes in his place in heaven

      He’s always been known as a legend

      The question was, is he immortal

      Now that was for the Gods to figure out

      Or can the People and the Kid’s poetry decide that

      One more fight his brother says.

      I can take him

      You will never take his Legend

      You will always be Number 2
