Each Morning after Amy Schmidt It’s impossible to be lonely with homemade mocha at hand tangy burst of caffeine mellowed by round teaspoon of chocolate— comforting wee taste of sweetness blue mug keeps it toasty for hours Coffee’s warmth soothes my insides the bite wakes me up Best writing companion of all
I'm sorry I haven't been commenting much. I read them every day. It's been really hectic out my way. Running 3 stacks is a big job! Come to a slam...next one is on May 16th. 2pm PT. xo
A slam, traditionally, is a poetry or storytelling competition, a contest. I set my that way, because it's what I knew. But after the first one, I realized that I had to take competition out of the format. It's not feminist, fair, or generous. I'm not into pitting people against each other. I do them once a month, and we record them, and there's a video replay we share with everyone. If you take a look at the Wham! Bam! site, you'll see more about it. xo
A mocha will always be one of the most comforting drinks in the world!
So many delicious ways not to be lonely :)
Love this. the drawing and the poem. And, I don't even need the chocolate! xo
Very kind of you! Thanks!

I do love your comments, I'll admit. I don't think I can make May 16th. A very busy day. Nan, what is a slam exactly? Forgive my ignorance....

And especially love the tiny drawing....dollhouse-esque!
That's kind. That drawing is kind of an embarrassment to me. So many challenges learning to handle the medias....
Love your illustration, as well as the poem!
Thanks, Jan! That was an early one. Hope my drawing/painting is improving....
