ysabetwordsmithWhat I Have Written
"Five Things That Fall from the Sky" -- A spell creates emotional weather, and two lesbians watch the changes it brings.
"Algophism" -- 32 lines,
I used your title prompt, not as a title, but more as a theme -- although the actual title could be construed as a translation of the phrase. "Algophism" is a poem about three bad-girl goddesses having a good time by tormenting and killing wicked men.
"Feel the Rainbow" -- 147 lines,
For colors of emotions, see "Feel the Rainbow." Two women who can hardly sense their emotions manage to fall in love anyhow.
"Building Where We Are" -- 93 lines, $
From your heaven prompt I got the free-verse poem "Building Where We Are." Schrodinger's Heroes live in the middle of nowhere, so they have to meet a lot of their own needs.
"The Thief of Her Heart" -- 243 lines,
"The Thief of Her Heart" is another emotional dampening story, but with a totally different context. Here the cause is magical, and causes a nasty rebound once released. Delbar rescues Cassia from captivity and helps her ride out the aftermath. Worth mentioning is that Delbar is demisexual -- I haven't written many of those.
"Gezelligheid" -- 63 lines, $31.50 (Hart's Farm)
I love foreign words! "Gezelligheid" is a free-verse poem about what it means to belong, when you don't spend all your time with one person or in one place.
"Treppenwitz der Weltsheiße" -- 23 lines,
Here's the second foreign-word poem, "Treppenwitz der Weltsheiße," written in free verse. It captures the final outcome of global warming.
"Saudades" -- 428 lines, FREE (The Avengers)
Bruce Banner knows all about sorrows, regrets, and wishes for what was lost.
I'll be posting this one some time later.
"The Freedom Machine" -- 175 lines, $87.50 (P.I.E.)
Brenda and Darrel deal with an overly emotional stranger who has a distorted view about Brenda's quality of life.
Then I found this page of highly emotional, very weird sculptures by Choi Xoo Ang. So I'm writing ekphrastic poetry ...
