Poem: Everyday Nothings
by Crystal Taylor
Footprints on the rug grow brown under my dog’s paw pads. I wash it, but a thread pulls the hem until the seams come loose. I can’t out-think the worry-weeds tumbling under my head when I sleep while the caulk peels and cleaves around the quarter rounds. Bags of things sleep in the guest bedroom: now it’s inhospitable. The cat leaves his sweater rolled up beside the curtains, while the laundry breeds a mound of sleeves down the hallway, miles-long. If there were any music left in my head, maybe I could inch along.

I just tell mine it’s okay if something’s not his favorite. They don’t all have to be. Plus, he doesn’t like lit, so if he doesn’t like something, there’s a good chance it’s actually good. 😝

Love this! My goal is similar, but applies mostly to poetry.

Crystal Taylor @crystaltaylorsa.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

I have a couple of poems about romantic love…with a twist. It only occurred to me now that this might be an appropriate season. I think it’s too late but wanted to tap into the collective wisdom here. Anyone looking for love poems that aren’t terribly sappy?

I truly love this off-beat magazine. Wonderful editors, professional, great companion art. They promote their contributors. Four jalapeños. I’m lucky enough to have a piece in issue 81 of @rfpress.bsky.social www.roifaineantpress.com/post/spotted...

"Spotted" by Crystal Taylor

I scanned through my binoculars, thinking I was alone until I saw a man peering back at me through his own. I had been spotted. The ornithology lab sent a rare bird sighting alert: an Inca Dove in the...

Alas! I wrote a genre bender that I’m proud of. I sent it to a bucket list magazine. Yikes!
