The Joker
A poem for the "Masks We Wear" Challenge
I don't want to be the villain in your story,
But if that's the mask you want me to wear,
The role you need me to play.
Let me put the Joker mask on,
Slide the smile across my face like a lie made pretty.
You can call it an act.
Say that I am just pretending.
I'll perform a role.
Throw on another costume,
Before the final curtain call.

10 Lessons from Sarah J. Maas
"You learn to write by reading the writers you love." I recently took this course by Damien Walter! I wanted to share with you all what I took away from the course, and to share my thoughts on writing fantasy. He did an analysis on the opening chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and I have a new set of lenses while I am reading. I was inspired by previous Udemy post to create this one on this specific course.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

I definitely got Heath Ledger Joker vibes from this poem with a splash of Joaquin Phoenix Joker mixed in. Creepy yet also sad and slightly bitter and resigned. Nicely done.
