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!

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
