why are some of these not 5-7-5? and what does "following" mean?
warm in a pack now
familiar too familiar
with elven bread
cushion, incense, blood
so much preparation
for nothing to happen
- following Margaret Chula
outside—frigid winds blast
I pry a ring from the duergar
still and warm
swaying in the heat
the dragon-bone chimes breathe
another song
shadow chased by sun
— I wonder if the obelisk gets bored
by night
just a knucklehead
the Frostmaiden trembles
on Maer Dualdon
- following Christopher Herold
fog finally clears
our new friend & Van Richten
nowhere to be seen
at year’s end
I burn the grey illithid
with only one eye
- following Margaret Chula
axe high with a grin
the orc howls and charges
past morning glories
—BOOM—
—BLAST—
—AGAIN—
always bat guano on the back
of one hand
