The Poet Sky

The next episode of Rose the Rainbow Mouse is finally here! You can watch it on her MakerTube channel!

In this episode, we talk about growing up, going to school, and the teachers that accepted us no matter how different we were.

In the Land of Fairytales and Rhyme, Rose meets one of those people.

I'm so excited for the new animation, and I've even got subtitles! The audio is a little quiet as I figure out the right settings for my mic.

Thank you all so much for your patience while I got this out. I'm hoping to have the next one up next Saturday, so stay tuned!

#RoseTheRainbowMouse

It's a sunny day a lovely stroll shiny people a good sleep

Days like this make the world bright the air fresh the sun warm

It won't last forever and tomorrow might be dreary so I'll enjoy today as best I can

I'll breathe the air I'll feel the sun I'll store up the light And I'll enjoy

every moment

When life is too much When it hits too hard It helps to know That I can stop and listen to the sounds of life

Close my eyes Take deep breaths

Listen

Birds Piano Guitar Drums Laughter Song Happiness Rain Love

Life goes on All around me And I know I can listen And remember that I'm not alone

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #Life #Nature

I walk through life taking careful steps because I always do my best to be kind

I don't expect it from others but I still watch out for it because I can always do more to be kind

When I experience kindness especially a brand new sort I remember that new way to be kind

Because I know that random bits of kindness can brighten anyone's day so I'll keep learning and do my very best to be kind

It has taken years and years and years To see myself As more than my mistakes To love myself Despite the times I didn't think I didn't know I didn't understand

If that is all YOU see If you cannot accept That I am NOT perfect Then all YOU are doing is holding ME back

and I deserve so much better

They can make you laugh They can make you cry But you never know which one They're going to do next

Maybe you'll be happy Smiling and laughing together The world full of bright color

Maybe you'll be sad Heartbroken and numb The world cold and empty

You don't know which one There's no way to know what happens next You just have to jump And hope for the best

I guess that's why they call it “Falling in love”

#Poetry #Love #Romantic

I've held on to so much for so long

So much pain So much regret So much resentment

I never knew how to let go But it's time That I start learning

Deep breaths Open my hands Let go

It's finally time To let it all go

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #SelfCare #MovingOn

I'm afraid of the storm clouds The chaos The darkness The uncertainty

But for the sake of the sun Her light Her love Her hope

I won't let that fear Stop me

#Poetry #Hope #Fear #Nature

Today my mind is for ME

Not the world's problems Not my friends' problems Not my loved ones' problems ME

They are all so important But if I worry about them I'll be consumed By tending those flowers I'll forget all about my own

It's not that I don't care It's that I DO care too much

So today my mind is for me I'll take my time Focus on being me And taking care of me And loving ME

UPDATE: There was a miscommunication between me and Muck Duck's owner. Queer Voices isn't an open mic. Same time, same place, but just me and two other performers. The event page, including tickets, is here.

On June 6th, from 6-9pm EST, I will be hosting Muck Duck's Queer Voices Open Mic!

The event will allow members of the queer community to get up and share stories, thoughts, jokes, songs, poems, anything they want. Many of us have been pushed down or silenced, so this is us doing our part to help raise up those voices.

Allies are welcome to attend, but not to speak. Please leave that to those of us that have been unable to have a platform. But you can help by spreading the word and coming by to hear from your queer friends. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two. And check out more of Muck Duck's events at their website.

Hope to see you there, friend!
