Poems and Tweets

I haven’t been very active on this website for the past few months until earlier this week, but I have posted some shorter poems to Twitter in that absence. I wanted to share some of those here.

The same compound that causes lovely petrichor
also makes beets taste like dirt.

I’m still not sure if I believe that the presence of pain
makes pleasure seem sweeter.

The stars take care of themselves.

Do not worry about them so,
silly, pensive girl.#15wordspoet prompt: #pensive
