“I Wish I Was the Moon” by Neko Case “Chimney falls and lovers blaze. I thought that I was young. Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins as numb as I’ve become. I’m so tired. I wish I was the moon tonight. Last night I dreamt I’d forgotten my name, ’cause I sold my soul,…

Flash Poetry #1: Little Songs
Okay, I’ll admit it, some of my flash fiction entries were slightly poetic. It just didn’t seem that way when I was writing them. I saw them as stories. It never occurred to me that they were poems. Well, don’t worry, I won’t confuse the two anymore. Flash Fiction and Flash Poetry are now separate…

When winter arrives, it seems like there is no end in sight. Snow is piled high and the air is frosty and painfully frigid. Long treks are deemed unwise, so you and your doggo have to be satisfied by short, temporary excursions. Anything more than a brief walk is blocked and discouraged. You play with…
Thanks, Netflix
I found myself in a very common situation recently. I had filled my daily to-do list with achievable tasks. I had psyched myself up for a day of success. I was all ready for a full day of productivity when I decided to stop for a five minute procrastination break before I began. I checked…
