Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~  Bruce Lee

Original thought, original artistic expression is by its very nature questioning, irreverent, iconoclastic. ~  Salman Rushdie

Those of us that write know all about the merry-go-round of the process.  Write, submit, pray, rejection, repeat.

I received a rejection letter recently that made me think about the Numbers Game that we are involved in when it comes to submitting our writing.  It’s the luck of the draw to some extent.  This particular rejection letter stated that they had over 3,000 entries for a slot of 20 pieces to be published.  They told me to not be discouraged and to submit to them again.  …ok.

But every now and then, once in a Blue Moon, something you write gets accepted and gets published.  A miracle.

I am Proud as Punch to let my fellow writers/bloggers know that I was selected to have one of my poems published in the Beautiful print book, Poetry Quarterly, printed by Prolific Press.  I received the email letting me know about my…

Cee’s Flower of the Day (https://ceenphotography.com/2019/05/19/fotd-may-20-2019-peony-buds/)

I got some new flowers yesterday…

I reached out to fast,
racing towards an internal light,
I pushed too soon it would never last,
another star now fading, once shone bright.

I tried to take it all on,
every challenge, every creative piece,
but all it lead to was my energy gone,
all it has caused is a damned version of peace.

Couldn’t you see the effect it had?
The death and destruction heading towards my soul,
Where all the creative thoughts left leaving me sad,
creating a gushing waterfall of emotions draining into an eternal hole.

Couldn’t you see I was still here trying?
A lost soul trying to grab some words to write like that of a branch holding on to the last leaf in Autumn,
like a lost child, arms around the knees; crying,
did you see me, while you were out there having fun?

Have you noticed how much I have fought?

I am not a chef, but I can cook and bake. Except I do burn toast and bread of all kinds. It’s my signature dish, and everyone in my family knows it.

Really bad, practically hopeless

Not Bad, but awfully clumsy
