Notes About The Poem

Written July 11, 2026

Demon Kiss

As inky as a poetic muse
I burn both ends of the candle 
Writing my poems 
Righting my wrongs
Inner and outer demons exist
I kiss them both for kicks

So beautifully crafted, Karen. Your use of the last two sentences to tie it all together is brilliant.

Very cleverly written, Karen. I love how you wrapped this one up in the final two lines.
