I want to introduce you all to Haley Schluter.
She is a vibrant, young, promising college student with a ‘voice’ that makes you feel like you are sitting across from her at a coffee shop having a chat. Her writing style is fun, comfortable, confident and she is a riot! Oh and did I mention she has curly hair? I’m a fan of curly hair. Watch for her and her curly hair, I’m sure you will be seeing more of her in the years to come!
Benjamin what a beautiful introduction for me to you and your blog, I need to share this, you, with my community.
I was/am totally taken away by this, the rhythm is beautiful the visual, breathtaking.
And your art, speaks for itself.
I’m your newest big fan.
In the mornings night
With such delight a calm
And silence has spread its wings
No jumbled noises or raised
Up voices. Just the quiet in
My head.
Pictures if paint blues,
greens and gold
Words of love, passion
and things of old.
Simple trinkets to remind me of
The days I’ve left behind.
Simple visions of the thing I’ve yet to find
All just memories if my one long day
All just footnotes in the pages that lay
Strewn about in my mind and play tricks
With words and paint, all just dots and dashes.
Like garter belts and mustaches
Things that make us think in a certain way. The illusion of life as it may, for we all just sit, sit and wait for the day
When the death lights come to take us away. Simple really…..just another story
Of stories about a story. This time I think…

“…that you were not engaged with us because of your person; because of the parody of work that you display as “art” are a taint to that which is pure and true.” – anonymous
So I received this in an email yesterday from a fellow artist that is involved in ‘supporting’ fellow poets and artists through different methods of group interactions, writing prompts, competitions etc.
Might I also mention this someone has reblogged my work multiple times and has also left kind, supportive and encouraging mentions on many of my poetry posts. So when I read the above comment I was completely shocked.
After much thought I have decided to leave this person anonymous and coming to this conclusion was a big challenge for me. I take leadership, image, honesty and example very seriously. I realize it’s not about the person it’s the idea of what art is that really got me going. Continue reading

Powerful.
I stand between earth and sky.
My sweat streaks the dust on my skin.
Breath comes heavily,
Ragged in my mouth and nostrils.
A fire burns in my eyes.
The child of the flame in my soul.
Tall above the weakness,
I smile at the futility.
I bend my shoulder to the weight,
And move mountains.
It’s over
It’s the end
I can’t do it again
Over and over
It seems
That the seams
Have torn
For the last time Continue reading
I really like this. Simple yet says so much. Simplicity in a complicated way.
Give it a read and show him some support and encouragement.
I wrote her a love note
Afraid of rejection, I didn’t give it to her
Finally, I burned it
Little did I know
She read the dead letters in the ashes
I got a love letter in the mail today

Thought provoking in a simply complicated way.
As you probably know, hundreds of thousands of writers sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) each year — essentially volunteering to write one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month’s time. That’s a lot of writing for authors who may want to participate in NaNoWriMo, but are running short on free time. (Like ME)
Have you all heard about the Grammarly Group writing project coming up this November?
If not take a look.
They plan to organize the largest group of authors to ever collaborate on a novel; they’re calling the project #GammoWriMo.
For more information on this unique and oh so creative opportunity please check out the link I provided below.
Happy writing to you all!
