Poems for National Poetry Writing Month - April 2023

Jacob and Christian have been best friends since high school. Christian is getting married soon, so they spend one last weekend together in Jacob's cabin to celebrate. But a chance encounter with three unknown men will change their lives irrevocably.

A product of a sterile lab, Dani is a vampire unlike any other — he's never known humanity. Under the watchful eye of his enigmatic mentor, Vinicius, Dani has lived an existence utterly isolated from society, leaving him profoundly naive to its ways. When Vinicius is abruptly taken, Dani's sheltered world crumbles, leaving him woefully unprepared for what lies beyond. Now, he's thrown into the chaos of a vampire high school, where he must grapple with the treacherous currents of adolescence and the desires of his non-beating heart.

This is the story of my coming out, my first gentle steps into the world of sex, and my first partners. It's a tale of passion and discovery, of tenderness, love and mutual satisfaction. It chronicles my year of turning from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, and I hope you enjoy it.

It's been three years since Josh first came out to this park right by the lake to help a friend of his to build a playground as a part of his Boy Scout Eagle Project. A weekend where he met Sawyer for the very first time...and fell head over heels for him right away. That first crush can be...well...intense. Hehehe! So what happens with Josh and Sawyer after that? And what happens now that they've come back three years later for the anniversary of that weekend? Let's find out.

Life is fascinating. It is both joyful and painful and everything in between, but there are lessons to be learned, and yes, treasures to be found. If we ever think we are in control, we are mistaken, but that is the beauty of our journeys. I hope you find something in these poems to give you pause, to make you think, or to make you feel.
