We're feeling a little spooooky 🧙‍♀️🎓🙊!! Let's start a witch hunt! Editorial position granted to whoever discovers who the editors of @TheImperialTri1 are. False accusers will be barred from future poetry writing. Good luck!

instead of being a human with anxiety, I could have been a white-browed warbler

Sad he passed on TroubadourPress for publisher, quite worked up he went to our main rival @CambridgeUP. Still psyched to read this poetry anthology! 🥳🤪☺️ Congrats @Dru_Johnson! Review coming soon🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

[The Troubadour @TKC_Troubadour]

Ready for the open mic night & arts mixer?

[The Troubadour @TKC_Troubadour]

A morning

At first, just the noise--
Then I’m aware of a body
I’d rather not be

Pull it up like weeds
Shower, get dressed, and eat
You have things to be

“Next stop, Borough Hall”
“Stand clear of the closing doors”
Fugue state, “Wall Street,” exit.

By Austin

God is not who we
Say He is. He is lunch and
My prescription drugs.

Oh how my soul longs to see
What your mask covers
