Poem: "Education Is the Passport"

Feb 25, 2024 14:32

This poem came out of the January 2022 Crowdfunding Creative Jam. It was inspired by a prompt from Dreamwidth user Fuzzyred. It also fills the "Transformation / Revelation" square in my 12-23-21 card for the Story Sparks Fest. This poem has been sponsored by zianuray. It belongs to the series Polychrome Heroics.

Thank you zianuray March 3 2024, 00:05:00 UTC

for letting us all share in getting your work out. I know you do the research and hard part, but being able to contribute toward publication makes me feel proud whether it is warranted or not. I'm still working on the whole "how to be (a decent)

human" thing so if that is not OK i'll apologize.

You're welcome!

I love teaming up with my audience for ideas and sponsorship. :D I'm glad you're a part of that. I hope you'll swing by the fishbowl this Tuesday.

You should be proud of it! Publication is important. I love how crowdfunding empowers people to ask for what they want and then make it visible to everyone. You don't have to wait for some editor to like it or worry about gatekeepers cutting out what you want to read.

You're doing better at it than most people, I mean, look at the mess they've made of this world. At least you're trying to make it a nicer place.
