A flock of ravens is called a conspiracy or an unkindness. But in today’s world, it can seem that everyone is out for themselves. Gone are the days of truly polite society. It feels like there is a true conspiracy of unkindness.

It's Functional dysfunction, after family has come and done what family does, come and tell us all about it. The shenanigans, the memories, the food... come join us in the aftermath and trek us all about it.

Are you ever the optimist? Perhaps it’s easier to see the darker side of things? Maybe, you just like to stir things up or get by with the bare minimum. We're taught that anything worth doing is worth doing well. But what if we do things so badly, that others will do it for us? Ideal, no. KInd? Also no. What half do you fall into?

Crisp nights mean cuddle weather is upon us. Do you like to snuggle up in front of the fireplace? Do you like a warm comforter and a soft bed? When you get a little chilly, do you get a lot of thrill?

Spooky season is over, and the skeletons are back in the closet, but the turkey hasn’t even been thawed. Why then are we bombarded with all the jingling bells in every store on every radio? Are you ready for the holidays to take over everything, or are you the type that likes one holiday at a time?

Italian sonnets, shakespearean sonnets, sestinas, oh my! Pantoum, palindrome, and blank verse to try. Acrostic or concrete, doesn't matter the mode. Villanelles, monotetra, blank verse, or ode. 

Pumpkin spice lattes have taken over. But does pumpkin spice really belong in everything? Forget the allspice in weird places. and just eat the pie!

Changing leaves, crisp air, pumpkins, spice. and shorter days. Do you fall in love? Do you spice your rum? Tell us, how do you Fall?

It boils from the depths of our being, welling up and spewing forth in hateful vengeance. The urge to wreak painful havoc can be overwhelming and, at times, well deserved. Did wrath breed wrath. Is retaliation always justified? Shall we strike in preemptive and angered fortitude? What would your wrath look like unfettered? Release the kraken of your mind and call your wrath by name.
