Last one will pop up tomorrow. I’ll leave them up in the shop for a couple of days, then they’ll be gone forever.
I added this little gingerbread astronaut necklace to my shop this morning, and have a handful more I'll be adding over the next few days! Check it out at xxyxxy.com

Octosyllabic lines here, playing with the stresses of trochees, iambs, anapests and dactyls, all lying just below the surface...
Let's have a blast from the past! This was one of the most popular poems in my first full collection, The Knives of Villalejo.
By the way, I throw a copy of The Knives of Villalejo in for free when you purchase Whatever You Do, Just Don't...!

At the beginning of the year I closed down international shipping due to the confusion and disarray the US government introduced through their new tariff schemes. Though they're still on their nonsense, I am deciding to open sales back up to a few select countries. See more at xxyxxy.com

If you are not following Joel or frequently visiting his website, you should be. Art, poetry, stamps, postcards, cool ceramic stuff, and a damned good dude to boot. Look at these two amazing paintings...

When the child was a child, it walked with its arms swinging. It wanted the stream to be a river, the river a torrent, and this puddle to be the sea. When the child was a child, it didn't know it was a child, Charlie Brown.
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night, Charlie Brown."
"Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father, Charlie Brown. Prepare to die."

Every so often, I ponder the uncomfortable truth that we are daily confronted with an avalanche of images (which devalues all images), and an inexcusable poverty of stroopwafels (which over-inflates the value of all stroopwafels).

I think I enjoy failing in graphite WAY more than I enjoy failing in paint, and given that very little of my work finds material support among those that like it, I might stick with graphite for the time being. Perhaps look at other mediums again for the coming year.

Some people might ask, who reads poetry really? Well, judges do!
Ellis begins by quoting from Carl Sandburg's "Chicago": www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...
Chicago
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

I want to take a moment to reject the rumor that RFK Jr. had anything to do with the Chicago Tylenol murders in 1982. Trucking in untruths, no matter how much you dislike him, or how much it seems they guy has it out for Tylenol, is unhelpful.
