As fleeting as the morning dew
This guy has become a series contributor. He has sent about 4 different sets of prose. The interactions have largely been sweet but unremarkable. THEN I SAW HIM IN REAL LIFE. This has happened to me many times throughout the years that I have been online dating in this mid-sized city, and it usually involves…
When will you learn, lives over money.
I was talking to a friend of mine recently who has the uncanny ability to just, like, not get mad at stuff. He can watch the news and hear about other things going very wrong all over the place and then just… move on. He can go about his day and not let shitty legislation…
Hot enough to fry an egg
I almost didn’t share this one because it reveals a lot of personal information about me, right down to my specific neighborhood, which is TMI. Also points out the fact that I wear crop tops in one (okay maybe two) of my Tinder pictures because DUH SEX SELLS. Although given the amount of stress-eating I’m…
I’m bored as hell
Well I think we finally found someone who has adequately articulated how I feel.I don’t know about you, but I am a very frequent user of profanity. I treat f-bombs and s-bombs like verbal punctuation. I choose to sprinkle them around as adjectives, nouns, verbs and sometimes just sound effects in general (professional conversations excluded).…
Virtual Dates?
One guy (not this one) invited me to a Zoom date. I thought about it for all of like 6 seconds. To be honest, I am not taking pandemic dating seriously and so I therefore cannot take a Zoom date seriously. In my view, a date over videoconferencing is all of the awkwardness of meeting…
We’ll soon be made free
I’m liking the poems that are optimistic, flattering and generally looking at the brighter side of things. It makes me feel good that other people are putting good vibes out there. And so I want to share them with you. I give these both an A. In the spirit of being optimistic, today I took…
That bitch
Alright. Y’all need to ease up on Carole who, let’s not forget, IS THE REAL VICTIM HERE. I have no idea why we have all collectively taken the side of the meth-addled redneck who’s literally sitting in prison right now for being the dumbest criminal alive. Your sexist hatred and resentment for a weird cat…
We must behave
I liked this poem a lot. But what I liked more was our banter that followed.
I’ll be there for you
Read it in your head to the tune of the Friends theme song. And then add the *CLAP* CLAP* CLAP*. I mean, how clever is that? Creative artsy-fartsy dudes are consistently the most reliable for some decent prose. I can typically spot them based on their profile right away. Intentionally lopsided haircuts, record collection on…
This verse I devote to the caffeine gods
This here is indeed a true sonnet. A traditionally fixed verse form of Italian origin, consisting of 14 lines that are typically five-foot rhyming iambics. And I like it. Ima be honest though, I had to look up the word abrogation on dictionary.com. (It means to repeal.) My favorite stanza is the tribute to coffee. Although…
