Hello Readers!
Until my wordpress page is completed and no longer ‘Under Construction’ I will post a few samples of what I plan on doing regularly. I have already done this with a ‘Book Reading List’ that was published last week that contains my favorite books of Poetry/Collections/Anthologies that I own.
NEXT:
This is a sample of a monthly post I plan on doing starting in April 2017.
Every month I write one full 200 paged Notebook. I write daily for a minimum of two hours on anything that I want as long as it is writing (NOT JOURNAL ENTRIES), I have completed one notebook for each month consecutively for the past three years. In my notebooks I write poetry, bits and pieces of observations, and short short stories. At the end of the month I go over my notebook and highlight parts that I think are the best. Those parts I type up and archive for my records. If something really strikes me I pull it out of my archives and expand on it (this is the beginning of my process for writing poems and short stories).
So without further ado, I give you a sample excerpt from my notebook Feb 2017 (Notebook Excerpt #1).
Notebook Excerpt #1 (Feb 2017)
key: ‘+’ marks separation between ‘poems/pieces’.
‘START’ and ‘END’ bold and italicized mark the beginning and end of the excerpts.
START
Blue heaven above me
Barreled up against the sun
+
Her body is covered in a glittery slime
Death does not prove the existence of a god (gods).
Smell of cat shit in cat litter.
+
Whiter, the petals become. The color sucked out of them.
+
Eyes claim that there was once something great in the sky that lived there once.
+
The heat comes on, a low rumble,
through the house.
But it is in vain for the windows are old, they are drafty cracked dirty.
+
Lines in deep depression drawn against the sky
+
Where is the sun,
The golden sphere?
+
It is cold, freezing. I’m trying to keep myself awake trying to keep myself hollowed out so that there will be something there to fill
+
I follow myself into a place of utter darkness.
You broke me into hell. My body doomed, full of desire and death.
+
I am here, skull eyeballs and spine.
Hole in my head.
+
Devour
Consume
+
Vanished into the darkened blue
+
Heaven is a dream that never ends
+
Within the catacomb of
The soul, a hive grows of
Festering flesh and blood glistening
in honey and cream.
END
This is just a sample and does not contain the complete NB Excerpt for Feb 2017, future posts for ‘Notebook Excerpts’ will be longer.

Hello Alinahappyhanse, my name is Gregory Thomas. Thank you for liking my poems on my blog at
Cascadialegends.wordpress.com
I thank you very much, and will be sure to check out your writing as well. Let’s keep in touch. 🙂
Let’s do. Your work is fascinating and would love to talk about poetry sometime!
What is your blog about, do you have any clubs to join possibly? 🙂
No no clubs yet. I’m just starting out. I post poems, and short fiction that I write and that I’m working on as well as publication announcements and book lists and reflections on music, films, and art. idk its all over the place. what about you? I noticed your menu is extensive.
I’m just like you, i’m startinh out, i write fiction fantasy, and poetry, my writings are usually about morality. Good versus evil. And try to convey a meaning as such. I illustrate pictures as well. 🙂
Also, sorry for the double post… i got a little confused about where to post… 🙁
no worries. cool beans yeah sounds similar to my work. I focus on death, emotions, and sensations paired with the real world. cool.
Do you write like stories, harry potter stuff?
My story is about knights, magic, swords and stuff.
I write about satanic stuff, rituals, h.p. lovecraft kinda vibe, witches and canniblas. idk I like horror and thrillers. sometimes I try sci fi with time travel.
Oh…urrr… 🙁
I, um, try to stay away from the devil stuff myself, and try to write for people to try and understand what is good to do, and what is wrong to do.
I suppose each his own.
hahahaha…. yeah that’s true to each his own. it’s good to write about what is good too. I admire that.
Thank you. 🙂
You dont play video games do you…?
No. lol. I just listen to records and read books. I watch tons of movies tho. I’m a big movie lover. I’ll watch just about anything.
My plan is to maybe one day turn my stories into movies, you should maybe look to try and do the same, one day. 🙂
