Dear Reader

Dear Reader by JM Romig
(A version of this is published in the collection Breakwall to Breakwall, Writing Knights Press, Cleveland Ohio, 2015)
Run away.
Run as far as you can.
Board up your windows.
Burn all your books,
dear reader.
I am Poetry.
I will kill you.
You will let me.
Run.
Run as fast as you can.
Tear off your rear-view,
and just go!
...or don't.
Just stay.
It's too late for you anyway.
I'm already eatign you
From the inside out,
dear reader.
I am Poetry.
You will starve to death with me
inside of you
and you'll love it too,
dear reader. 

Welcome to the Beautiful Blasphemy (BB) Blog. I'm JM Romig, co-founder of BB. This blog is a key element to our laboratory. It serves as as place where we will publish prompts to get you and your friends writing together, as well as the results of our collaborative projects. Occasionally, there will be a smattering of shameless self-promotion, chapbook reviews, and discussion posts just to keep things lively.

I hope you all enjoy it and keep coming back to see what we are up to, and also to participate if you feel so inclined.

Don't follow me, I get lost on purpose.
