New Crowdfunding Project: "Faerie Apocalypse Live"
The next Poetry Fishbowl will be on Tuesday, June 3 with a theme of "first contact." I hope to see you there!
Poetry in Microfunding:
"Faeder Way" follows the antics of human explorers as they try to understand some aliens with an unusual sex/gender structure. "Uncounted Colors of the Stars" belongs to the series An Army of One. A freetrader with an atypical identity grows interested in the culture of the Lacuna. "Not the Absence of Fear" belongs to the series Polychrome Heroics. There are 15 new verses, showing Clement's response to the fight scene.
Torn World writing update:
Currently posting: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal" (fiction). Approved as canon: "Unicorns on Parade" "Spruce Deer" "Wandering the Heights" "Learning to Breathe the Clear Mountain Air" "Indoor Men and Outdoor Men" "From White to Blue," "Stalking Sleep" (poetry), "Sharing a Round" (fiction). Back to me for edits: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands (Parts 1-4)," "Winterheart" (parts 2-3), "Stinging Like Nettles" "Off the Clock" (poetry). Currently in front of the canon board: "Ghost Bat" (nonfiction). Drafted: "Like Ash Before the Wind," "From Dark to Bright," "The Inappropriate But Useful Disposal of Lettuce" "A Thin Red Trail" (fiction), "Changes in the Wind" (poetry), "Southern Breads" "Tangleweed Article" (articles), Jularei (character sheet). In revision at home: "Water Dance," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," "Raining Kittens," "Finding the Holes" (fiction), "The Smallest Invaders" (poetry). Currently writing: "Catch of the Day," "A Cold Clear Night" (fiction).
It's been wet here this week. Much of the grass seed sown earlier has turned into lush carpets of green, and the clover seed has also produced a considerable amount of clover sprinkled amongst the new grass. We plan to buy a lot more clover seed for next spring. (We're near the end of when grass seed can reasonably be planted here.) Currently blooming: honeysuckle, wild strawberries, marigolds, blue salvia, cleome, portulaca, petunias, zinnias, pansies, sweet alyssum, torenia, lobelia, columbines, peonies, blackberries, chives, motherwort. Green fruit: raspberries, mulberries.
