Find Your Taste Buds For Poetry
It’s fairly powerful this concept of poetry. So powerful that it only takes one person to say in order for most people to run as far as they can. 2 vowels and 4 consonants: this is what we’re afraid of, bored of, appalled by and sometimes annoyed by. But why is that? Is it the [...]
Chew Your Pages Wisely: Firmin by Sam Savage

Humorous Art of Terry Border

Irony, humor, sarcasm, and [...]
