Life in Verse updates!

Hey my loves!  KC here with some news taking us into next year.

On February 25, 2023, Alive: Life in Verse will turn 4 years old - and with it I'll be releasing a second edition!  The main reason for this is because the poems were sorted into themed chapters, and since then, the series has been keeping the poems in chronological order.  I felt it necessary to get Alive in the proper mix.  Plus I may have found a few other poems that mayyyy be sneaking their way into the second edition as well.... Don't worry, Alive will be the only one getting this sort of a revamp done in the LiV series.  

And then, only five days later on March 2, 2023, the third installment of Life in Verse, Change will be released!  Look at that cover!

You might be getting a sneak peak at some poems coming your way in March between now and then, so make sure to check back in.

Lots of loves, ~kc

Poem: United Calamity

United Calamity
from Brave: Life in Verse

January 2017
​

My life is like a small boat
and the waves are all a storm.
My life is like a flower
in snow trying to stay warm.
These thoughts are all a fog
and the tears still come like rain.
But I'm no longer wondering
what will become of my pain.

After a long week of storms,
the sun breaks through like a dove
on a day when hope is dying,
when hate is thickly trumping love.
The enemy is each of us.
And even I still fill with hate
at the thoughts of hate trumping-
such a hypocritical fate.

My heart shakes like an earthquake
as I let the demons of my tongue
encourage and infuriate
the hate-filled rope that has us hung.
Who are we that we let all
this flood our fragile humanity
like poisoned rain that eats us
to a united calamity?

Are our troubled hearts so fierce
and our egos such like glass,
we refuse to open our eyes
and love the ones who loved us last?
Do we choose to move away
from the connectedness we share?
Do we choose to not believe?
Do we truly choose not to care?

My heart wavers as my steps waver,
and no, I cannot change the world.
I cannot change the hearts
of those who seek to see it hurled.
To love without expecting love
is what brings us humanity.
But as we fight each other,
we're a united calamity.

Good morning, loves!

I wanted to let you guys know that there are awesome things on the way.  The newest installment of Life in Verse, BRAVE, is going to be released really soon!  The tentative release date is set for June 10th, 2021 but we'll have to see how things progress here on out.

Also I'm planning on starting the third Little Rhymers book.  I'll also be working as an editor for a separate project simultaneously, but hopefully that won't hinder Little Rhymer development.

I'm excited for the future, and I'm excited to have you guys with me.

Hey my sweet beautiful shali loveys!
I've got just a couple of things to share with you all:
  • I was able to place an order for the first proof of Abigail and the Snail Mail today.  I'm excited!  Keep in mind that this won't be the final proof for sure. I already know it has a couple of little edits I need to make.  But we're getting close!
  • I know I've been saying this for a while, but the first installment of Life in Verse, a long-term poetry collection of mine, should be getting released soon.  It's got some not-nice words in it, but I don't want to censor my stuff. :)
  • I've been working hard this past week on an outline for a full-length novel.  I'm not going to share any other details yet, but I'm really feelin' it right now, and I'm hoping it all works out!

I'm so glad it's the weekend in about 45 minutes! Let me know what's what my chicken nuggets.
​
Cheers,
~kc
