New Project

If you're tired of reading Andrew Blatt makes a poor attempt at writing like Neil Gaiman, perhaps you'd like my newest project, a collaboration with the Alchemist that we're referring to as "Mid-World Writings" among other things. This is our attempt at telling a story within the setting for Stephen King's Dark Tower series. What this means to you is now you can read good stuff by the Alchemist and you can start reading Andrew Blatt makes a poor attempt at writing like Neil Gaiman writing like Stephen King.

Hoorah!

Villanelle on the Craft: A Personal Confession

by Andrew Blatt

I wrote this poem using golden ink.
And though it shouldn’t matter much at all,
It makes it easier for me to think.

Sometimes it decides will I float or sink,
Whether words will flow or slow to a crawl.
I wrote this poem using golden ink.

It takes my reasoning mind to the brink.
My science and my art locked in a brawl.
I find that that is just the way I think.

It has to fit into some kind of link,
Like black for fact or auburn for the Fall.
I wrote this poem using golden ink.

With the proper pen and the proper ink,
I can write stories great and stories small.
A consequence of the way that I think.

Kaleidoscope worlds where chairs and lamps think,
Strange worlds where the fish rule over us all,
I wrote this poem using golden ink.
And that made it much easier to think.
