What could be better?

Waking to kitty kisses

Ginger purr machine

To accelerate healing

Mammalian connection

10/29/20

I get nervous when

Too many days no writing

Creativity

Life blood & highest purpose

Connects me to the Old Gods

Daily Writes

Asked to find the right words

Allow your fingers to write

What needs to be said

Writing isn’t a contest

Writing is the prize itself.

10/02/20

Friday’s Upside down

Inversions start the day

Rich blood bath for thoughts

Realigns chi to center

Going from mind to body

10/1/20 Poet on Toilet

Writing on the shitter

Luxe bidet experience

When I stop thinking

My seat becomes a Queens throne

Bidet remote, my scepter

9/29/20

Everyday poems

Storytelling is God’s gift

Joy Verses Despair

9/28/20 You Choose Tanka

Best we believe that

Life’s unfolding as it should

Why question God’s work?

Heaven lies in unthinking

Hell lies in past & future.

9/26/20 Queerdos

Sweetest strange husband

pro wrestling & marble race

Enthusiast. Rocks

YouTube Chinese harp playlist

What a wonderfully weird life.

9/24/20 Don’t Skip

Skipped 2 days of poems

Now my left ear is hurting

Artmaking is health

Creative wellness is key

Especially in these times

9/21/20 For Raven

Liquid animals

Like octopi & the like

Fit well through tight spots

Profound intelligence from

Repeated trial & error

9/19/20 Too Much At Once

Woke up tired as hell

From moving house at Fifty-

2 be or not to

Be that is the quest. Judge Ruth

Bader Ginsburg we love you.

9/17/20 Shaka Khan

The God Voice in me

Knows exactly the right thing

For the right moment

anxiety is thinking

Listen for our higher love.

9/16/20 Senses 2020

My name is Joël

I live in a big pink house

With my husbunny

& Tootie Pooters our cat

Who’re you & wea you stay?

9/15/20 day before holiday

Much needed vacay

Refuel, relax & reset

A perfectly timed

Break from the complexities

& stress of apocalypse

9/14/20 Hale Elebunny

New house first night sleep

So challenging to relax

So many what ifs

Each house has its melody

Up all night deep listening.

9/12/20 Fame

Asymptomatic

Does a monster lurk within?

15 minute test

To verify my status

Is this my 15 minutes?

9/11/20

It’s COVID test day

My doc may have passed it on

Last Sunday ER

I’m scared that I’ve passed it on

Must trust in highest good now.
