Haunting Television

The first morning after the breakup last year felt... well... like this. #PoetryCommunity #Divorce #LGBTQ #ComingOut

the morning after I shed my past was like breathing my first breath at last. with sunlight playing through the awakening trees I finally felt a sense of release. a weight had lifted from my chest one I hadn't realized was keeping me from rest. I could feel the fractured duality of my changing identity. one, the ghost of the life before. the other, a birth of something more. the timid joy of…

Hmmmm... You know what? I'll be mysterious about the backstory on this one and let you find your own meaning. #Poetry #PoetryCommunity

a spark is struck in the winter between us a timid flame guttering with the promise of spring a, "maybe" a, "chance" a, "hope" a, "moment" doused without hesitation so the warmth fades perhaps spring was never meant to break the winter between - Jeanette Andromeda 2/3/22

A little #LGBTQ #lovepoem for my 1st #ValentinesDay out.

A single spark planted the seed That created the incandescent incident. Her spark, lightly landing. My breath, entirely encouraging. Our connection, ultimately unfurling To transform a world once a stranger to warmth Now set ablaze by smoldering roots That take hold in neglected embers. We become wildfires That transform the terrain by Bursting forth as wildflowers. We scatter particles of the…

The Tempest's Core - a double etheree poem. #PoetryCommunity #Poetry #QueerArt

hands shake and slip as the strand that tethers her bruised heart to the Tempest's core finally snaps and her reality shatters into a torrent of glimmering hopes now revealed as lies the spell disintegrates and she tumbles spiraling out of control and in her decent through the chaos she finally catches her breath she's free-falling into a new world where she does not have to bend to…

Little ball of chaos Little ball of nerves... A poem about re-entering the dating world as a newly out bisexual woman.

Little ball of chaos Little ball of nerves She never mean to ricochet In such a frantic way She just never thought she’d see the day Where someone would want this little stray Little ball of chaos Little ball of nerves She was broken, yet healing And no longer concealing Her hope that her queer heart’s unreeling Would be welcomed as appealing Little ball of chaos Little ball of nerves She…

Just... sharing thoughts about my upcoming content because new things can be scary.

I’m almost a year out of my separation and there are still a lot of emotions and thoughts that I’m processing from the experience. Both good and bad ones. I keep feeling that poetry, even if it comes across as super emo and maybe-kinda-cringey, is the right outlet for me right now. Something about putting into words what I’ve been experiencing has been very healing. Granted, I am not nearly as…

"Bittersweet," is a #poem I initially wrote to perform during an open mic, but I ended up not being able to go into the event that night due to a COVID exposure. But hey, that's where blogs come in handy, right?

Vines of bittersweet reality used to climb up and through the core of me leaving the tingling taste of toxic expectations laced with complications and degradations. But my true voice, caught in a cutting cage of root and rot could no longer be confined. each questioning lead to remind That the power I am capable of comanding is inescapable. A single breath revitalizaed a strength that could no…

I've been low-key kind of obsessed with #poetry lately. But I was struggling to get past the blank page syndrome. Here's what I found helpful to get (re)started.

Whooo, 1st blog post of a new year after a many month unannounced hiatus. Here's what happened.

New year, new me! Ok yes, everyone says that, but I honestly feel like I have transformed into an entirely new person. This time last year I was not in a good place. Depressed and struggling with some major issues in my life. I had started working with a therapist to avoid heading down a dark path I had almost not returned from once before. And then… everything came crashing together. In case…

Can you smell your dreams? (And other odd findings on sensorial dreaming.) #Curiosity #AmWriting #DreamResearch

Post written by Jeanette Andriulli I woke up one morning with this random thought in my head, “I wonder if anyone can smell their dreams.” Part of this thought was spurred by that fact that I’d woken up after having my 1st dream where I spoke in ASL (American Sign Language). As an FYI, one of my 2020 lock-down projects has been teaching myself both ASL and Italian and I’ve had a few dreams this…

If a book of poetry could be both classy and a punk rock anarchist- it would look like the #blackout #poetry by @theJessMcHugh.

What is Blackout Poetry? Blackout poetry is the art of taking a page of existing written work and blocking out all words except those that…
