#Fall and #Winter are my favorite seasons — Who is ready for the fall? This tree is showing out already. I’m all for it; been ready 🍁
Inside a huge doggie park; surrounded by fence and a wilderness of green plush trees in its exterior — and in the center is one big tree inside the perimeter that is already changed to fall colors of: rust  orange, gold, terracotta —at the top of it — is still a bright green tip. I’m Here for it.

Image : The overall imagery uses a warm cream background, bold black typography, hand-painted sunflower yellow, earthy brown, and green accents. 

A square, cream-colored promotional flyer with a bright, hand-painted sunflower theme. Large black serif text at the top reads “MONTHLY PROMPT”, followed by “#SŌLSËËD | NOVEMBER.” Beneath it, large bold text reads “#PROMPT,” with the words “POETRY • ART • PHOTOGRAPHY • WRITING.”

The visual mood suggests growth, harvest, creativity, reflection, community, and hope.Image and Content: A large golden-yellow sunflower with a dark brown center fills the upper-right corner. Loose yellow painted petals and brush marks are scattered around the edges, with green leaves extending from the sunflower. A partial sunflower center appears in the lower-left corner, creating a circular visual balance.

Across the middle, a yellow painted brushstroke introduces “November Prompt Words.” The five prompt words and weekly themes are:

* NOV 1–5 — GRATITUDE — 
week theme: harvest
* NOV 5–10 — REFLECTION — 
week theme: inner landscape
* NOV 10–20 — CHANGE — 
week theme: transition

Journal 📝 Big shifting incoming A new perspective reminding me of years back, my theme for New Year was #reciprocity - I was overdue in receiving. I find myself back there. So, pulling back on everything and not seeking anything. Thus, am giving much less of everything. All energy on pause #pivot •
“Reflective”

A reflecting art work that depicts midnight blue background with 3/4 of the bottom Of the image—has waves of lime, teak, royal blue and violet n fushia fluid in motion  and starry dots throughout— while it reflect this image atop in a blurry haze of the same colours, with no starry lighting in background — only darker deeper midnight blue hue.

Art is #Resistance As an #artist, a poet, and educator. My #artwork is defiance. I believe in the absolute right to #speak, #write, #create without the chokehold of censorship. #Freedom of speech is not a privilege to be rationed; it is a human necessity; without #art democracy collapses. #Kimmel

The Names We Keep In Circulation
for Nolan Wells

They keep Black names where the silence cannot reach.
Our mothers write them down before the news can turn.
They keep Black names where the silence cannot reach.
A photograph becomes a prayer, then a speech.
The search continues through every road and church.
They keep Black names where the silence cannot reach.
We say them again when the headlines retreat.
Our mothers write them down before the news can turn.

Let’s keep creative human minds in creative space. Design and development and organizational assistance is one thing; writing a whole book, novel or series from conception to market, audience is not a writer make. We can’t begin down this descending slope or intellectual thievery. c.org/XS5VM4xpf4

It’s Black Speculative Fiction month, so it’s only right that I have [finally] made issue #1 of my comic, UNDEAD DUO, available to read online for FREE. Please, give it a read! globalcomix.com/read/d501429...
The cover of Undead Duo #1. 

It depicts a Black woman, ERA, in a tattered dress, holding a curved blade that resembles an Ethiopian Shotel. Directly behind her is the title, UNDEAD DUO, in all caps, with a red line that looks like a life plus running through the text. A little further behind Era is the wreckage of a red car.

At the top is the name of the contributors to this comic: BA Spann (me), Khalid Johnson (artist), Jamesia Bly (styling).

I was going to write about beauty— something about leaves falling & how the wind carries them away then I saw a photograph of a child— looking at a drone just before it kills him and now all I see is an empty space where a child used to be. #sensewrds 269
