Insight and inspiration for writers, readers, and all creatives
Denied
The slurping sound as mud sucks your shoe off of your foot
The smell of laundry left in the washing machine over night
The taste of bile burning in the back of your throat when
you wake up choking in the middle of the night
The freezing sensation in the pit of your stomach when
you know this is the last goodbye
Fully sensing you’ve been denied
I am a fiction writer, poet and lyricist inspired by a life of leaping without hesitation. I was quoted and pictured in Ernie K-Doe: The R & B Emperor of New Orleans by Ben Sandmel. My short stories have been published in Five on the Fifth, Waking Writer, and Fictional Pairings. I am the author and photo-illustrator of Gator McBumpypants picturebooks. I enjoy clothing, costume and puzzle design. View more posts
