August Haitus and September REturn

9/4/2023

0 Comments

 
This summer has burned hot and so has my poetry so I took a brief hiatus in August to let my creativity brew. For this first post of September, I've got my newest poems from this week for you and some of my highlights that I had originally posted on Patreon. Enjoy!

September 1st: 
Relaxation
by Amy Kay Czechowicz

My friend
Don’t forget to relax
Let your body melt to the ocean floor
Sink deeply and breathe
Your breath is a bubble of resilience
I’m which you can float

September 2nd:
Tie-dye Summer
by Amy Kay Czechowicz

Oh how we relish this tie-dye summer
A final -hurrah before the world finishes burning
Color patterns following the slick kaleidoscope of oil shines
Before the match strike

September 3rd: 
Smother
by Amy Kay Czechowicz
Sugar-crusted grilled peaches sitting a top your piled-high vanilla ice cream
Or
Desire for more, more respect, more pay, more attention suffocating your ability to be content
Can one be good and one be bad or is it shades between - to be smothered by sugar-crusted peaches
​
September 4th: 
FFS
by Amy Kay Czechowicz

Word choice
Our preference for one word over another
A poet's prerogative
And what goes into judging each other's words
Here you sit
Judging mine
Yet it is mine
And it's interpretation is yours
Thank you

Tardigrade, Beetle, Fish
by Amy Kay Czechowicz
​
I'm made in the image of the bird
Clearly my nose is like a beak
My toes have joins my ankles have feet


I'm made in the image of a tardigrade
When I want to move I fall with control of gravity
When I find surplus food I keep it with me 'round my belly


I'm made in the image of a beetle
If I want to crawl along the earth I do so
Crooked elbows bending to move me slow


I'm made in the image of a fish
Beautiful lungs along my spine
Wide lips and open eyes


I'm made through selected happenstance
In the image of the earthling
Like the birds, the tardigrade, the beetle, and the fish
