Decoding the Writer’s Curse by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)

Decoding the Writer’s CurseCursed to be curious,imagination, never-ending,stories overflowing,characters created,thirst unsatiated,the weight of each tale,bearing down, heavily,on the mind,so little time,make the ink danceacross the pages in swirls,a new song,poem and tale,books pieced together,a patchwork of words,tip of a quill,remain … Continue reading

Tortured Journey by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)

Tortured JourneyNo one knows the clandestine yearnings of my soul,The weight of an albatross, takes a heavy toll. Duplicitous or righteous nature, I know not which,Machiavellian or altruistic, change like a mercurial switch. An elegy perhaps for who I was, … Continue reading
