I hope this episode can meet you where you are. If not I hope you can find the courage and inspiration to turn to it when you need a little extra boost. 

So this episode is composed of prompt poems that kept me writing just a little bit of something every day - no matter what life throws at me, this is my way of keeping momentum going. And these are some of the pieces and prompts I've enjoyed the most so far!

Today's episode is a deep dive into some of my oldest poems. Ones that weren't sure what they wanted to be, who they wanted to talk to or where they wanted to go. I am thinking of sharing these pieces in tomorrows Instagram live sharing space!

This chapter is titled Earl Grey

Today's episode of Learning to Fly is something I believe to be incredibly special, my guest star, Cyrus Parker is here with me to talk all things poetry and especially the collection "Coffee Days, Whiskey Nights" which can be purchased from http://cyrusparker.com/books.html

So today's episode is not for everyone. The poems do not explicitly mention or reference suicide, but there is a deep undertone to each one and the proper context. I understand this episode is not for everyone. Some of the organizations and groups mentioned this week were:

ToWriteLoveOnHerArms

Ukcares.org

save.org

This episode is a reminder that things change. But also a way to keep in touch with all the good and lovely autumn feels so many of us look-forward to year-round!

Here are the rest of the poems Zach has written and shared with me over the years. Just in case we need a little extra love and laughter as we venture through September!
