NEW BOOK STEAL ALERT

NEW BOOK STEAL ALERT!!!

As you know, my latest project, ISSUES OF MY IDENTITY, was released on August 8th. I wanted to make another announcement on here today because it is now free. Today is the only day that it will be free. The book can be downloaded on Amazon.com by searching the title. Enjoy! 

SANGING FOR WOMEN

She used to "sang,"

as they say.

Female anthems, women

dancing to the rhythm of her

shouts, retelling their

worth to all who had forgotten

or pretended, for long, to not know.

She still sangs and moves

with just as strong a confidence

and I just hope

little girls follow

for little boys who pretend not

to have been taught

by the same women who used to dance to the songs that

talked about their worthiness

as female.

LIFE JOURNEYS Available Now

Available today on Amazon.com.

YOU, FOR FREE

No tasty treat shops,
no squirt bottles spread across
any display, or
packed-to-empty racks
of boutique clothing.
No.
None of it here
out in the open.
But there was a crack
noticeable only to the willing
and careless, which you
left without a thought.
And she sampled
a piece of the very person
I wished to end with,
that I would never
feel completely proud
of reclaiming, ever.

--WRITERUPTION--

I have published nothing but free form poetry on this blog the whole time it’s been up. I’ve decided to post some more traditional forms such as the haiku and sonnet, just to change things up a bit. I would love to know your opinions on the pieces to come.

I would also like to thank the newest subscribers of my blog for making the decision to follow my blog (and the old ones, thanks for being loyal!). Just so you know, there is a lot I have going on outside of this blog as well. I have some short but entertaining
books currently available on Kindle (author name: Essence Mason) as well as some upcoming features, which I will keep you all posted on. And thank you, thank you, thank you!
