For those that don’t know, I work at a college in the Admissions Department. My team handles enrollment and paperwork processing from students all over the world, so it can get a little tedious/repetitive every now and then. To break the monotony, I write silly poems, limericks, and other nonsense whenever I alert the team…
They bounce through the sky on the breeze, Traverse the world’s length with such ease, Nimbus brings the rain, Cirrus plays to feign, The clouds! They do just as they please. I hope you enjoyed it, Christina! 🙂 ~ Victoria Elizabeth
I’m not my usual optimistic self just yet, so I decided to share some of my “work poetry” to help lift my spirits. In my office, the supervisors have a tendency to announce via email when it’s their turn covering the night shift and/or weekends. Instead of just sending out a quick, “Hey, I’m here…
I posted on Twitter that I would write a limerick for ANY topic tweeted back to me. Christina Jones was my first victim volunteer with the topic: PUPPIES! So, in all corniness and laughter, here comes your limerick, Christina: ********** There once was a pup named Abu, Who, to a young family, was welcomed anew!…
Since the last poem went over so well, here’s another. ****************** Frustration. Words flow, but meaning never comes. Some people fight for the joy of breaking down the spirit overly righteous. Others scream and shout for the sweet release of carbon-dioxide into the air. Very few speak for a worthwhile cause. Feelings hurt egos bruise…
A few nights ago, I shared a poem on my other blog, The Memoirs of a Yo-Yo Dieter, entitled, “Why I Run.” With the help of a good friend, I edited the poem down to make it more powerful, less wordy, and to make it “submission-ready” for a few contests. Since I haven’t shared any…
I’d like to share a poem with you that I wrote very recently while taking a break from NaNoWriMo. However, before I post it, I’d like to offer a thought that has been troubling me for quite a while. This should go without saying, but the tone expressed in this poem is NOT an emotion…
I just received word from Full Sail University’s literary magazine, The Aviator, that two of my poems and one piece of my flash fiction have been selected for publication. Yay! In addition, one of my poems was selected for the “Editor’s Award,” which I’m guessing is the favorite piece in the chosen genre. Woohoo! Normally,…
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been in a very poetic mood lately. Writing a new poem every few days. I’ve since submitted several pieces to literary magazines, contests, and publishers in the hopes that I can make some headway on my goal of 5-in-28. [See: Who, me? for details.] Since I can’t…
I’ve been in a very poetic mood lately, writing a poem practically every other day over the past two weeks. It’s amazing to feel this inspired… but also very distracting when it comes to getting my homework [which is NOT poetry] done by the due dates. Since I’m not ready to share these new ones…
