Poetry Day: Never In My Presence

Posted on January 9, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Narcolepsy Queen

Posted on December 26, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Mylrix Falls

Posted on December 19, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(No reason for the picture.  This is more of a prophecy I hope to use in a future trilogy that explains the reason Windemere’s magic works the way it does.  Almost forgot it existed though.  A side note is that … Continue reading →
