The Past Isn’t Prologue, It’s Nothing
Take a step into the human psyche with this unique poem by LG Rogers.
The Grand Show
The Grand Show Step right up, step right up, And step right in too. I welcome you heartily Into this grand wonder, Into this grand mystery: This grand canyon of […]
Without a Plan
To escape your place in life, you must have a plan.
“It Was a Dark and Stormy Night.”
Sometimes the greatest stories are never told.
A Silent Offering
Certain things you just have to experience to understand. And sometimes the feelings these experiences bring about are too much to handle. So our only defense is to let ourselves drift away like tears in the ocean.
Lonely Horseman
When Death finds you, pray he puts you to sleep gently.
The Low Spirit
What is it like to be a low spirit wandering through life?
Seventeen Steps Below
Gruesome and vivid is the best way to describe LG Rogers' newest poem, Seventeen Steps Below.
Shadows of Things to Stay
Poetry has a way of touching us in ways other art forms cannot. Whether it be through emotion, cryptic meaning, or thought provoking rhyme schemes. LG Rogers succeeds at all of them with her poem, Shadow of Things to Say.
Do as I say, Not as I Do
LG Rogers shares with us a very vivid and unsettling poem.
Resignation
The poem that follows is full of rhyme. It’s full of darkness. It’s full of thought. It’s full of sh– well, that, not so much. However, just try not to […]
The Waiting Game

Certifiable
Being a writer of macabre poetry can be frustrating. Sure, you think you're writing great stuff, but it seems like all the likes and retweets fall to the flowers, puppies, and kittens. You know, all that uplifting stuff. Pfft, like who needs that? Seriously. Okay, I get it, maybe we all need some positive thinking now and again. However, one would not understand positive if not for the negative. Balance, my friends, balance. Besides...as I'm sure Stephen King would tell you (because, you know, I'm totally close to his level of awesomeness [sarcasm alert]), sometimes darkness is just fun, damn it. So is rhyming. Enjoy.
What the Eyes Do See
Darkness has a way of tricking our brains into thinking that things may be lurking in those safest of places, when, in fact, they are not. As darkness is the absence of all color, so too, shall the color drain from us when left ambling alone in the darkness. Sometimes, the irrational fear is merely a trick of the mind, a game of a mischievous soul. Other times...it is not.
The Shore
How far will jealousy drive a person? Can it lead to murder?
The Mansion on the Hill
Keeping with the Halloween theme...I'll just advise you: this is not the time of year where you want to go trespassing in abandoned creepy mansions. Seriously. Don't do it.
