Laugh a little harder

Cry a little deeper

Smile a little wider

Hug a little tighter

Be more

Too much mouth. Too many teeth.

She is a beautiful beast

A monster worth running from

A monster worth admiring

Smile. Wide.

Gleaming. Shiny. Slimey.

Smile.

We aren't the children we used to be

We aren't the adults we wished we'd be

We aren't the songs we used to sing

We aren't the dreams we used to dream

Disassociate

Be sad

Go for a walk

Monologue

Forget the good poetry prompts you thought of

Get to a bar you rarely go to

Drink

Drink slowly and alone

Think

Be sad

Don't disassociate

Stay in the sadness

Dear God, in all of her glory

Send me a cute boy(ish) girl

Or a cute girl+ish boy

With a bad haircut

A strong will

And pure spirit

I never ask for anything, so can I get this one thing for Christmas?

(Happy Holidays)

Expectations without communication leads to failure

Talk openly and often

Make your point

Set your standards

Leave no room for misinterpretation

WE are the poets of Tumblr. Every single one of you has impacted me over these years and I wouldn’t be the writer I am without your support. But our writing community is struggling… partly because of decisions of Tumblr, partly because of collective hurt in the world the past few years. I cannot bear to see anyone else disappear. Our community needs CPR… And it will NOT come from a Tumblr update or a lift of banned tags. We need clear and immediate triage, for blogs cut off from support, and that will come from US. Let us show new writers what it was like to walk into Tumblr years ago.

Join me in this challenge to immediately help the community! Please feel free to share, reblog, and tag writers in the comments (up to 5 per comment, or up to 50 in reblog text) to spread the word! I believe in you!

Seven statements

      I Our mouths are open & the lakes are open.

      II We are the forest & the trees are good citizens.

      III The day machine is fast & designed to go faster.

      IV I want you & you want the opposite of a river.

      V The city burns & we ask for the name of the fire.

      VI We feel like waves & is it a statement or an answer.

      VII Tomorrow could be hard & designed for survival.
