'John’s gotten sick in plenty of bars, but he’s almost sure that this is the first time alcohol hasn’t been involved.'
Ah, John Constantine.
A moody, broody, British Bisexual warlock and master of the occult, who's a character in my beloved Arrowverse show Legends of Tomorrow? And is played by a Welsh actor (Matt Ryan)?
Yeah, if you know me at all, you know that I had zero chance to resist.
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
I originally wrote this poem and published it on Medium -
- because Iris B. Stehn over there was doing a writing prompt, so I wrote it for that.
I figured I'd share it here so that you could all see it too, 'cos I'm nice like that. 😊
Warning: this post discusses mental health problems and symptoms

Are you ever watching a TV show or a movie, or reading a book, and just...

'He was hurt alright. That look wasn't a new color on him; Nandor seemed to be hurt quite a lot lately. Laszlo didn't want him to be alone.'
Vampire. Mockumentary.
Do I have your attention?
Good.
It's Thursday, I'm very tired, but we've got lots of comics-y superhero-y goodness, so let's get to it!
Micropoetry time!
*cue imaginary jingle of your choice*
These are a bit more *waves hands vaguely* context-dependent than my usual micropoetry, so a little background info:
The second one (let's start at the end, why not?) is kinda based in all the sh** going down in the world right now.
The first one is very specifically about Partygate.
I actually posted it on Twitter with hashtags calling for Boris Johnson to resign, so yes #political. You know I don't care whether you agree with me or not, and that's fine.
And I'm overly-pleased with myself for the 'Eton mess' bit, which probably makes zero sense to those of you who aren't British, but at least I amused myself!
So here we are, February's Micropoetry!
As always, for those using screen readers, the poetry is in the alt-text with / marks showing line breaks.
