Micropoetry - January 2019
I realise it's nearly the end of February.
Fashionably late, dearest nerdlets, fashionably late 😎
The first of February's two pieces of Micropoetry is yet more proof that I've been listening to too much Eminem lately 😅
The second one is kind of personal... hopefully it's ok as a piece of poetry too.
As always, the poetry is in the alt-text for those using screen readers.

Micropoetry - November 2018
Ok, I know this is late, sorry, life kinda got in the way, but here it is: November's Micropoetry!
2 pieces for you this time round my dearest nerdlets!
(And maybe I should stop listening to so much Eminem... bit of an attitude here!)
As always, the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics for those using screen readers 😊

Micropoetry - September + October 2018
Here's my Micropoetry for September and October!
I only wrote one piece in September, so I figured I'd combine the two months.
And, in an action that has surely broken the laws of physics and/or the time-space-continuum, I somehow managed to find time to make graphics for all three!
(I seriously suspect some sort of time-warp was involved. B/c how?!)
As always, for those with screen-readers, the poetry will be in the alt-text of the images, with / marks denoting line breaks.

Micropoetry - August 2018
More Micropoetry time!
And August's Micropoetry from yours truly was just as random-a** and eclectic as ever - enjoy!
Three pieces for you this time, all with graphics.
As ever, if you're using a screen reader, the poetry will be in the alt-text of the images, with / marks showing line breaks.

Micropoetry - July 2018
I swear to God the heat is messing with my Micropoetry.
Again, this month, I've only written two pieces of Micropoetry... they're also a little weird. Like, weirder than usual! 😅
The second one in particular isn't for people who don't like creepy stuff.
Just a heads up!

Micropoetry - June 2018
Only two pieces of Micropoetry for you this month!
I hope you like them, all the same! 😊
(For those using screen-readers, the alt-text contains the poetry with / marks showing line-breaks.)

Micropoetry - May 2018
It seems we still have some May stuff to finish off my darling nerdlets!
So, I have some more Micropoetry for you! Like last month, I've made up some graphic-y image-y things for two of them.
No promises for the future - this is totally a 'when I feel like it/when I have time' thing, but I hope you like the graphics anyway!
If you're using a screen reader, the poems with graphics have the poetry itself as the alt text, with / marks showing the line breaks.

Micropoetry - April 2018
Yes, it's halfway through the month before I'm doing last month's Micropoetry round-up-type-thing, but I have an excuse this time!
Due to my laptop breaking on the last day of April, I got a bit behind on post-writing (and let's face it, I was hardly Ms Punctual to begin with!)
So here we are in the middle of May, looking at April's Micropoetry!
I've done something a little different this month - some of my Micro-poems are in a graphics-type format.
I'm not sure whether this is something I'm going to carry on with, or even if I'll have time to do it again for other months, but I thought I'd give it a shot!
The poems are in the alt-text of the images, with / symbols showing the line breaks, for anyone using a screen-reader. 😊

Micropoetry - March 2018
I'm actually doing a Micropoetry wrap-up before the middle of the month!
(No-one is more surprised that me!)

Micropoetry - February 2018
Yes, I know, I know, I always end up posting these half-way through the next month. But it's because I'm awesome, obviously 😎
There's a huge mix of poems this month, because my head is clearly a randomly varied place 😅

Anxiety vs Blogger
(Warning: This post is about depression and Anxiety, and the demonstration of a negative thought spiral.)
First off: I'm OK. I've had a rough-ish few days (not too bad, but bad enough,) but I'm OK.
There is no need to worry about me.
Sometimes, much as blogging has saved my life, it can contribute negatively to my mental health.
I don't need to take an extended break - honestly, I'm fine. I love blogging just as much as I ever have, and, overall, it's good for me.
And the problem wasn't really blogging - it was the Anxiety.
But I did need to 'write it out.' This is the result of that.

Micropoetry - January 2018
Yes, it's half-way through February. But when has that ever stopped me from doing a Micropoetry wrap-up? 😎
Here, then, is the Micropoetry I wrote in January:
(Quick warning: the one for 22nd January came out as more of a downer than I intended!)

Micropoetry - November 2017
Yes, I know, I know, November seems like a distant memory by this point.
I was busy, ok? (Like, reeeeeeallly busy!) So I haven't had chance to finish up this post 'til now.
But that's ok - the poetry's still the same! XD
Here it is, hope you like it:

Micropoetry - October 2017
Note to self: try and get the micropoetry wrap-up done before the middle of the next month 😅
...my time-keeping skills suck.
Hopefully my poetry skills make up for it 😎
(See what I did there? Lol. I'm such a dork! 😁)

Micropoetry - September 2017
OK, I know it's half-way through October, but unfinished business and all the jazz!
So let's un-unfinish this unfinished business! Here's all the micropoetry I wrote in September:

Micropoetry - August 2017
I wrote three pieces of micropoetry in August, and somehow they seem a little... different to what I usually write...?
I think I like them though - they're strong (if I do say so myself, lol.)
Whether they're good is another question; decide for yourself:

Micropoetry - July 2017
No, you are mistaken. This Micropoetry July wrap-up post is not late, it's been fashionably delayed.
So, here they are, my poems from July:
All the cool kids agree 😎

Friday Fics Fix - Fanfiction in Koru Mag
Do you want to read a whooooole magazine issue inspired by fanfiction and fan art and all that jazz, including a fic by your dear darling book nerd (i.e. me)?
Of course you do! Why in hell's name wouldn't you?!*
*Don't answer that.

Micropoetry - June 2017
I know we're a little over a week into July, but we still have some unfinished business with June!
So, let's just get straight to it!
Here's my micropoetry from June:

Micropoetry - May 2017
Somehow I only ended up writing two pieces of micropoetry in May.
So it's a good thing that I also gave you an 'Unseen Verse' post!
I hope you like this month's output - reduced though it is - quality, not quantity, after all!
