I’m working on orange Jcard design this weekend.

I started out with reading She Killed the Spider by Jay Leeming, which appeared in The Thousands, Number One. It’s a spooky one that fits the orange/black theme here.

We started with a poem that came in via the dedication line by

Rea de Miranda

. She said the poem was inspired by Jeremy Loops. I had not heard of him but I found this song, which seems to close to the poem:

I'm a Sinner

Then we read

Andre Mazzo

‘s poem:

Awakening

which has some very nice metaphors and banger lines.

Then

Joseph Coleman

had very nice, but spooky, nature poem:

Reclaimed

B Stings

had a pretty baller mother’s day poem:

happy mother's day, motherfucker

which had a nice musical shoutout in the middle of the poem as well.

Finally,

Wil Price

had:

Appointments

And he will be doing a live reading soon as well:

There’s some extra padding on the beginning and end from the band Delta OG. Go check them out.

Have a great weekend!
