frida kahlo to marty mcconnell

leaving is not enough; you must
stay gone. train your heart
like a dog. change the locks
even on the house he’s never
visited. you lucky, lucky girl.
you have an apartment
just your size. a bathtub
full of tea. a heart the size
of Arizona, but not nearly

Magic Monday

Save Spring as long as you can

Monday: May is the official one year anniversary of Adventures of Superalzy! Since I started this blog on my Five Rules for Life, inspired by something Mark Strand said to me, I’d like to share one of my favorite poems of his with you today.

Tuesday: Start a little [...]

Haikuesday!

If you can't find the words, write trees.

Another week gone by, another job added to my ever growing list! I’ve got an exciting new venture on top of my full time job & all the other gigs I have going. I’ll definitely let you know when my first pieces go live. I’m so excited, [...]

March Madness? This is MY kind of bracket!

I can’t believe it’s Spring! It’s Spring! I hope you all got out in the first good sunshine & enjoyed free water ice at Rita’s. I had a fantastic week that involved new writing ventures, bonding with my best friend & her amazingly-perfect-for-her fiance over sushi & [...]

Where absurdity is reality

Some days, you have to laugh or else you’ll cry. Always choose laughter, macaroons. I spent most of the week laughing hysterically.

Keep your eyes open!
You might see my face in a

A walk on the beach
with Muldoon helps welcome Spring
& melts winter hearts.

A year after Grad
school, I’m writing poems again.
Must be [...]

Haikuesday!

The facial expressions are the best part!

I had just about the most surreal week ever, macaroons. It started with no electricity & ended in me diving into the ocean. Seriously!

In ’09 I lost
everything I loved. In ’10
what’s there left to lose?

Breakfast in bed made
Valentine’s Day extra sweet,
sheets syrup sticky!

It’s funny how we
celebrate a massacre
with [...]

Haikuesday!

I feel like I'm living an episode of Life After People!

This Haikuesday was done completely from my BlackBerry, macaroons. I am buried under 3 feet of snow without electricity, heat or hot water. All our perishable foods are outside buried in snow for refrigeration. Thankfully my apartment is equipped with a gas fireplace & [...]

Hi there, Haikuesday!

The year is off to a good start, macaroons. I’ve regrouped. I’ve added a new feature to the site known as Magic Mondays that began with an Open Letter to 2010 & will result in 52 beautiful weeks lived to the fullest by doing little things.

Hope is a large fish
writhing against a [...]

The magic of winter is just beginning

Did you survive the weekend, macaroons? Between the drunks, the full/ blue moon & the crazy wind gusts that felt like drive-by icicle stabbings, it was touch & go for a little while. This coming week is showing a lot of promise. Please keep your fingers crossed for [...]
