Hey all! Wasn’t in the mood to put up another poem for this Sunday post, so I’d thought I instead dedicate this Sunday post to something I’ve done recently. Last Tuesday June 6th it was Swedish National Day and the day before that day I spent the ...

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 21, 2023
I am the mucky-footed bullfrog that leapt out of the well of dreams
A place to be killed in what I leave behind
You are beautiful and you are growing up. but I am getting sick and I am getting old.
Am I your master or am I your slave ...
