Fun ideas to make sure your players are being attentive to friends at the table! When your character dies, death will give you a free revive if you can pass the Newlydead Game. It's a newly weds style game made up of questions about your fellow party members, things you SHOULD KNOW #ttrpg #benice
It's really hard to be queer with a southern accent. Like "hey gay" feels so threatening when I sound like a can of Skoal was anthropomorphized
I feel like I may have approached writing with like a fake nobility? Like "ah yes, I'm an elevated person who brings life to their pain." But that's not at all who I am. I was raised in a trailer park and used to fight cousins to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Guess who had a tooth pulled and figured out pain meds make them go a little off the deep end 😇 Anyway peep the new poem from the depths of my paranoia
The Holidays are a difficult time for me and it was especially hard this year. But we keep writing and we keep living.

Sadly, this is the case for far too many people.

My poems on Poetry Soup are almost up to 2000 views! I never thought anyone would see my art so much as enjoy so I am over the moon to see the page visits continue racking up. I have the link to my PS page pinned at the top but I'll put it here as well www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/...
We need more AMAB nonbinary people in media. That's the whole post
I make all kinds of complicated stuff for the family and most days I just eat a tortilla with Ortega sauce in it lol
This one came to mind as I stared at myself after shaving one morning. I had been sad for a long time and could see it damaging the people around me. It's difficult when you know you're sick but can't do anything about it

In case it wasn't clear, I really resent urban life and miss the forest so much.

Almost three months ago now, I found the journal that I wrote my y first fumbling poems in. I hadn't given a thought to them since writing them and looking at them after years gave me an uncanny valley feeling. Anyway, here's what I wrote about that

Is there any worse feeling than thinking you're funny only to find out you're manic and on the verge of a genre defining panic attack?
This is my most recent poem (for the moment). And don't forget, I post everything on PoetrySoup first and the link to all my work is pinned!

As a writer, I guess as an artist in general, sometimes it's important to let your emotions guide you. To throw paint at the canvas and yell and scream and slam your fists against it. I try to do that with poetry on occasion as well and often I just delete those but I may post the most recent
Pass On by Michael Lee
Repetition by Phil Kaye
And also Invictus.
I tried so hard when I was just starting poetry to simulate those first two. Also shout out to Button Poetry for introducing me to the medium

It's raining this morning and I was up too late.
I think I'd like to write the poem surrounding this one some day but the rough edges on this felt like a part of the art. This was torn away from the original, not given by choice.

My favorite type of TikTok will always be the Ghibli-esque food montage to melancholy lofi hip hop. It's the romanticism of the modern experience
This is fully genuine btw
Ray what's it like being a first generation American/German in an age where German culture is misappropriated by white American nationalism?

Let me remind you that the only thing “ugly” and “unnatural” about the way you look is the way you’re made to feel about it.
Anyway, here's a poem about how I miss the rural life I grew up in. I could always find some comfort in the first that I can't find in an empty parking lot

One of the most challenging molds to break is this idea that what I write has to be profitable. Because I have no passion for grinding for money but I have a passion for words (and dragons). But it's just so difficult because of the commercialization of art you see in the mainstream

I just really like my magic to feel magical and mysterious even to those who use it
Artists deserve recognition for their talent, not just as content machines. Let's honor true artistry, not just clicks.
By far my most popular poem on PoetrySoup. The "brother" in question called me weak and fragile at my lowest and through it all I wondered for so long how it could be my fault, what I did to cause it.
