Dear VOCAL
1-3-2024
Cover of the Rolling Stone
Do I write for you
Or for a prize
Can I cast aside the love I have
To become a thing I most despise
When the night has gone
and all is left is you and me...And,
My sweet solitude
Where are the eyes now gone..
Do I pen a poem?
To Rolling Stone?
In hopes of notoriety
In begging for your company..
Take my hand
We'll go to chapel
Where vows give way
To eye-enslaved apple
So that finally..
Dr.Hook has made the scene
By succumbing,
To the obscene,
In dragging the Medicine Show
To gilded doors
On bended knees
Maybe on fours?
Pride has no place in seeking fame,
Seeking fortune,
Seeking names to list in utter devotion
In the end,
Have I given in?
Will I lose what was within?
Just so your page gets another read
As I ken..
I understand..
The poison pen
Peace

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
