Faulted Love
A breakup "nonet" love poem
Go ahead and say the quiet part:
we’re self-destructive. Our turmoiled,
tectonic plates are faulted
love. {{SCREAM}}: "we’re a mistake!!!"-
erupt! (So I can)
grow an island
(and be) far
from you;
safe.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Mind blowing! Powerful imagery and use of formatting! You are still 100% on fire 🔥 with these!
Hey Gina, my favourite lines here, “Our turmoiled, tectonic plates are faulted” - bit of alliteration and consonance! 😃👏
This seemed like it was doomed right from the beginning! Loved your Nonet!
