Ugh. Not another fiasco. Last year it was my failed Christmas venture – The Lonely Author Glow in the Dark Yo-Yo (No Strings Attached).
Now my special toy for this holiday season won’t make the Kmart shelves. Yes, I am sorry to announce you won’t be finding The Lonely Author Action figures in your stockings this year.
To make it up to you, I will make a few recommendations.
Everything I Never Told You – Many of you already know Tosha Michelle, in case you don’t you, have to read her work. Ever since Lonely Author was a little boy he rooted for the underdog. Here is a brave, poetic Little Engine That Could entitled The Poem That Wanted to be a Rock Anthem. http://laliterati.com/2015/12/13/the-poem-that-wanted-to-be-a-rock-anthem/
Christina Strigas – Chrissy has a unique writing style; delightful feminine tough girl. Her words jump off the page. Being the King of my castle I have little affinity from strong female voices (Excuse me one second. Yes, dear. Uh-huh. Can I do the breakfast dishes after I finish this post please? Thanks Snookums). Here is a post from yesterday entitled Never. https://christinastrigas.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/never/
Love Letters Lost At Sea – I accidentally discovered this blog Saturday evening. She recently started re-blogging. She doesn’t have many poems posted yet, but they are all good. Here is a link to a small paragraph she wrote entitled Flaw. It is well worth your time. https://loveletterslostatsea.wordpress.com/2015/12/19/flawed/
Moonskittles – This is the most versatile writer I have ever met. She can write anything (and do it well). Her writing is brilliant and then surprise; this school teacher is one of the funniest person I have ever met. She’s made me cry more than the IRS. Do yourself a favor, you need to meet her. https://moonskittles.wordpress.com/
I hope you enjoy my suggestions.
Happy holidays
Keep smiling
Keep writing

Yeah, I figured you would appreciate that poem. Yeah, unfortuantely my action figure was recalled. It had no head. Sorry about yours. What happened?
LikeLike
Well, it’s actually a very sad story but it had a string attached and when you pulled it it was supposed to say “What do you want to write about today” but mine just said “f*** off” so, yeah, they had to pull it off the shelves as well.

Wonderful suggestions. I especially liked the piece entitled, Flaw. It was quite moving. I am certain she has had some difficult experiences that have given her the opportunity to let the words naturally flow from her heart and soul. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a gift or a curse.
Thank you for sharing her work.

so, when I was singing in the duo a few years ago, the guitarist liked the way I sang in Spanish so he suggested I sing besame mucho . I love that song so much.
But.
In cypriot dialect (it’s Greek but there are a lot of different words) mucho actually means jerking off. It’s a crude way of saying it lol. And besame if you pronounce it with a z sound instead of an s sound means we were playing.
And so when you put them.together you have the whole cypriot phrase basically meaning “We were jerking off.”
I sang it for a couple.of weeks then we removed it from the set because I couldn’t keep a straight face and all the Greek hotel staff were laughing their heads off.
