Deaf Ear

Hello..?

Hello..!

I know you heard me

walking around here

saying the samething

for the last past five days!

You act like you don't hear me

when I'm talking all softly to you,

now that I'm yelling,

you seem amazed!

Then you start screamming and shouting,

calling me all kind'ah names,

before you start crying!

Baby..?

Baby..!

Don't do that ma, please..

WHAT?

YOU LYING!

Black like night is a dandelion rising in the noonday sun

And blue is the final flame of the cool dung



Black like coal is hot diamond on the hand of a young couple promising eternity

Black like time is never done



Black like on and on

And every sum was a black one



Black like… Continue

Excerpt from "Word on the Streets"

Word On The Streets Part 1



Word on the streets

I was born on these streets

Every day I seek to devour these streets

And all the anguish I meet

Everywhere I keep my heart upbeat

And back down not to defeat

Or stage an empty repeat

Every time I gather wisdom of immeasurable feats

Withstanding the perilous city’s dead heat

What other dangers do I meet?

Everyone needs their share of bread and meet

Yet can I find my dietary… Continue

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
