ALL YOU NEED

ALL YOU NEED

“All you need is someone who joins in your weirdness.”

For Art Journal Muse challenge, July 2017, at The Lilypad. The triangle template is from Christa.

Elements are from Lynne-Marie, Crafty Button Designs, NewLifeDreams, Sissy Sparrows, Just Jaimee, Rebecca McMeen, Tangie Baxter, Wild Blueberry Ink, Little Butterfly Wings, Anna Aspnes, Fairly Fab (w/Lynne-Marie), Gabi’s Creations, Paula Kesselring, and Beth Rimmer.

The “after the fire” font poem is from me. It’s an old poem, I couldn’t find the original, so I don’t know what the fonts are. The other font is Syphon Spritz.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
