Campfire Mixtape
theohpioneer:
I’ve been getting a lot of messages and emails lately asking if I would be releasing a new playlist any time soon. Well, your eager inquiries have been rewarded. This playlist has been personally tested to be suitable for fireside chats in the woods, falling asleep in a tent, quiet nights reading, driving through the mountains, fly fishing, and whatever adventures you can get...
Six types of Love
Eros
a passionate physical and emotional love based on aesthetic enjoyment; stereotype of romantic love
Ludus a love that is played as a game or sport; conquest; may have multiple partners at once
Storge an affectionate love that slowly develops from friendship, based on similarity
Pragma love that is driven by the head, not the heart
Mania obsessive love; experience great emotional highs...

Things I think about poetry:
Using few words’ connotative meanings to construct a text that is greater than the sum of its parts.

14/30: The Fluttering in My Chest
comes when I get out of the subway.
When all I’ve eaten was a Luna bar.
When I’ve been sitting far too long entering mailing addresses at the office desk.
WebMD is not who I should be consulting.
The sonogram told me my limbs are too long for a heart the size
of my fist; that my heart literally closes in on itself.
It is trying to take in all of the blood before it is ready to.
...
me: I can't believe there will never be a sex scene on this show!
Joy: Of course not. It's PBS. What did you expect? Penis BroadCasting?

13/30: On Fairy Tale
Girl wears red lips
stained with beets.
Boy hits rhythm thick like tar on forest floor
with stick.
Boy and sword.
Boy and stick.
Girl watches beet stain melt
on windowpane.
Girl squeezes skin of stomach
into tongue-tied corset.
Deep breath wheeze. Breasts pile on chest.
Girl don’t feel good
rest of the day.
Boy touches small of girl’s back
while dancing at ball.
Girl...

12/30: On thinking about summer when it is in fact...
Big ionic pillars on the back porch nestle
into the sky: an ember peach ablaze.
I’m trying to suck the last deep green tints out of the trees before they are reduced to shades of grey:
looming, hulking trees. They surround the backyard like uniformed protectors of this small party of naive, brazen aristocrats.
You lean back in the white plastic lawn chair; the legs bend beneath it
and...
On fun-sized advice.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
What’s the difference between pride and dignity? Ego. How do you kill your ego without killing your self-confidence? Confidence doesn’t die with ego, only arrogance. Can I kill somebody’s ego for him? It’s getting in the way of efforts to maintain friendliness and decency between us. You can crush a man’s ego, but only he can kill it. How do I reason with...

11/30: Two-Year-Old Romance
-You have no idea-
she says
as she turns around on the spot between the curb and the crosswalk.
He stands there
behind her, his cell phone lit up against
the edge-of-Astoria greyness
in the hour-after-the-superbowl-ends quiet.
-Where are we going?-
she says
His response is an apology, his hand moves out
to catch the small of her back—the slender structure of her
disguised within a...
Save the Children, Break the Womyn
mujerinterrumpida:
I am pro-life. Meaning, I believe in the sanctity of life, from the unborn to the dying. War and excessive violence in all forms makes me extremely upset. This belief is very much influenced not only by my own heart but also by my Catholic upbringing. I no longer identify as Catholic and am aware that my morals stem from that religious system. I am also pro-choice. Meaning, I...
