Typewriter Series #3083
More Poems You've Not Yet Read
Holy my goodness, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted a new, unread, Typewriter Series poem. Today is that day. Things have dramatically stalled on getting new people to sign up for this here Signal Fire, and stalled even harder (and heartbreakingly I’ve even lost some of you brave souls) on the paid community front. I know it seems silly, but this is a big hit to my livelihood and it just makes it harder and harder to keep putting out all the art I put out on a daily basis. That said, I thought, maybe infusing more poetry into here, would be something to do to help. We’ll see I suppose.
So, going forward, I’m going to keep posting poetry in here, exclusive to this Signal Fire for the first few weeks or months, and it’ll be a little extra that maybe will help sweeten the pot to join us as paid subscribers!
This one, Typewriter Series #3083, is a love-letter to the human form, the form of my wife, and all of the pieces she, and so many women, think they need to hide. It’s that which we call imperfections, the “flaws,” that truly make us beautiful. Each line where we grew, each mark from our mistakes, from a life of celebration, of hardship, of joy. This is where I’m drawn, this is what I find so stunning.
Here’s the poem:
I love the community and art you’ve created so much. Even if things have stalled temporarily, I hope you realize how bright and beautiful the light you share with us is. I have multiple typewriter poems framed all around my house and there have been many times those words healed me on my worst days. Thank you for being you.
What a treat to read a new edition of the Typewriter Series, especially one that is so beautiful. I wanted to say, even though I’m only one person and I’m sure just one of me doesn’t make much of an impact - for what it’s worth being a part of this community is such an honour and the gift of all of the ways that you share your wisdom and your heart is worth much (much!) more than a paid subscription could ever be. I’m proud to be here for the long run and hoping millions and billions more are lucky enough to find this light too! 💗
