Listen to Big Feels 6.4 here👇🏻
It’s mid-August, bbs. I don’t know what that means for you, but for me, it means I am sitting outside on my stoop and writing all the dumb lil’ poems my heart can muster. These are not the juiciest poems I wrote, but they are the best I can offer while preserving my current level of dignity. ;)
For those of you who keep track of things, yes I did miss last week’s posting date. I had a thing written but chickened out at the 11th hour. I’m a tease! Sue me!
K. Lemme know what you think of the poems; and may all of your days be stoop sitting ones. xo.
I like my heart
and how it lives
to tell the tale
how it holds
the deep blue sea
yet still makes up folk songs
about the little fishies
what a miracle to love
to be in love
after all that pain
of course you deserve
everything
this life
can bring
My outdoor neighbour is always shirtless (and last summer was sleeping in the camper parked in front of his house) (This summer = no camper and still no shirt) I like that he lives his life outdoors: barbecuing meat yelling at his dog calling the woman who lives indoors My Love I guess I am also the outdoor neighbour I live on this stoop (and last summer I lived here too) writing about: barbecuing meat yelling at my dog and women who I want to call My Love
I’m not that sad tonight I’m in love with this pen and the page and the streetlamp casting a shade I have love to give but for now I’ll let it keep just the pen and the streetlamp and my love and me
Okay cute. That’s it and I love you.
Talk soon,

These poems are lovely. Deep and buoyant all at once. LOVE that art too!
i liked hearing the audio while reading.
something about both made it sync in a bit more.
maybe like once you've had ketchup & mustard on a hot dog, now you've ruined when i just have mustard.
this inspired me to write my own poem right after, so thank you for sharing your words.
don't stop writing. haha the mcdonalds tip is spot on.
