Because of the introspection I do, how I do it that differs from the norm... I can see myself in all of it
But I don't really do the colors, it's more dancing through them, being the light that bend, reflects and refracts
I use the prism like using a magnifying glass to create the raw
I'm not yet at a point or place where I can just be Me.... any aspects of who I was or who I could be now can't happen, can't heal and show up until I'm safe
Anything I create isn't the finer details and delicate notes or spicy flavors I'm capable of, instead it's tightly contained authentic rawness forced through extreme limitations
Trying to be lucid in the way I'm capable of, to write anything, is like dancing through the spectrum, trying to catch butterflies barehanded and keep them all
I used to write sci-fi fantasy but more D&D style than spaceships, some published poems, had an erotic blog for a number of years and a year as a call in spot as a “sex therapist” for an Irish radio station… I'm eclectic in everything and full of ideas that I often can't use
Right now it's more about survival, defiance and justice but I can't channel it out… that's part of why I'm here, I need others to help activate or reconnect parts of myself… kinda like being Augrah (Dark Crystal series) and her orrery… except I'm small, it's all big and even if I CAN do it on my own, it takes way more effort and time
Indirect or peripheral connections like the comments, notes, posts etc… that stirs things up, it's not enough but it's something

Slightly influenced by the crystal in Zardoz
It takes time I suppose. Thanks for sharing. You gave such a vast experience writing
That’s amazing! Is there any emotion or angle from which you generally write?

Reading you gave me strength and courage. I will hold my own prism and I’ll add to the impossible arc. Thank you
No, thank you Zoe! Your description was so beautiful
This is definitely not what I imagined coming from my prompt—but in the best way! What a creative direction you took it!!
❤️❤️ I did my best with it
I love it!!! I love the idea of us all being different colors of the same rainbow 🫶🏼
It wouldn’t have been possible without your amazing prompt!
You're right, it's not fun; but it is beautiful...gorgeous!!. It burns my soul so much that it makes it smile.
Thank you so much for always liking/supporting my work❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's nice you don't believe in better. Tell that to the agents. That should get you in solid.
what have you published?

This poem is a rainbow - unfathomable in its beauty. As for my colour - pumpkin, persimmon, amber, cinder, and the colour of leaves letting go.
Ohhh that’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing Liz❤️
