New “Black Thursday” EP and the COVID Blues
Hi friends, Been a minute but Lady of Fire Poetry has a new EP out called “Black Thursday” which can be found at Kalamine Records on Bandcamp. Please take the time to support my artistic efforts and buy the EP. Meantime, I am working on a new album and more material. Unfortunately, I am taking a short hiatus as this Christmas I got the COVID, a milder version yet I am so tired and the sore throat is bothersome. As I speak, my throat is feeling much better but a cough is lingering so I must take off from work and try to get better. Send lots of love and…

More poetry and music to come!
Please stay tuned. I am working on an EP as we speak! It’s going to be a wild one and dark. Still evolving as an artist, in hopes, that I can reach people with my work. Poetry is a never-ending journey of self-discovery and genuine connection to soul. Poetry is as universal as numbers or music. And combined make for an impactful artform. Feel free to explore the poetry here and get lost in a magical yet realistic world!

Me, Myself and I and You
I have always been authentic and true to who I am (on most days). Sometimes I tone it down because I can be quite obnoxious at times (especially at home) and it’s just respectful of others to be kind. I try to acknowledge others by being mindful of their humanity. But alas, I am only human and fall short many of times (like we all do). I am not trying to toot my own horn (yes, I am) about how great I am when I post here on social media. I just assume that people understand that I am completely flawed in some areas like the rest of us. And…

Spring has sprung!
And it’s going to be very lovely in Seattle. The quitely kept secret in the Emerald city is that it doesn’t rain as much as it is rumored. In fact, we get a longer springtime which is a very good thing in mine eyes. This spring has a lot of projects in the making. More painting, more recording and with that much more writing of poetry. It’s going to be a grand spring. Enjoy and by all means send me a note or two!

Happy Holidays!
Going to start the New Year with a cover from Nirvana. Coming soon to a station near you. Playing and learning the guitar these days. And trying to get healthier by fasting and eating right. Starting the new year on the right track hopefully. Making black eyed peas and poetry. Good luck to you and yours. Stay safe, stay well. Peace.

Rest even now, Breonna
So let me get this straight. Unarmed black people are being murdered by those who are supposed to protect and serve. Trump is a vile and racist human being sitting as President for America soon to be dick-tator and at least 46% of people want it that way. Multi-national corporations have ruined our eco-system with their greed and claiming individual status to garner rights over the average person. Racism and violence is running rampant in every part of the globe. Women of color are disappearing and showing up murdered at alarming rates. ICE is doing abhorrent things to people who are seeking asylum here in America. And the horrid list…

Passport 101
Finally, my husband and I applied for our passports. We were so stoked! Hopefully, all will go thru without a hitch and will be in our eager little American hands soon. Even though, soon is more like months. No one knows how long it will actually take with COVID-19 creating havoc in the world as we live it. I am so grateful for my life. That I get to live in a cool town, with cool people, and a loving husband, making music/poetry. We don’t have kids but we teach kids almost everyday of our lives. It’s very rewarding. And pretty soon we get to travel, Goddess willing, this pretty…

We’ve Got to do Better
I want to lose myself in a lofty world like anybody else. But some people are choosing to hate more fear more. I know it sounds cliche but we’ve got to do much better as a human species. Yes. We are all human and deserve love, kindness and respect. No place for hierarchies and hateful drivel. It’s time to make amends the wrong doing we’ve done to black folks and people of color. Just because we have brown skin doesn’t mean we don’t feel pain. As I have said before, I am warm inside like you.
