ChapstickI skipped a day, and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chap Stick

It felt so wrong
it felt so right

(It falls apart a little in the middle, but you get the drift. : )

 I plumb forgot for a night that I was running a crowdfunding campaign. But I am!

And it is only $5 away from $3800!  Which is itself quite a ways away from the $6,500 goal, BUT which is nonetheless enough to pay for 1,000 CDs to be pressed AND still buy a new guitar. Which are both screaming priorities.

SO! Belatedly, here is reason #16 to support my crowdfunding campaign:

Because, as much as you enjoy frothy pop, you also want there to be other kinds of songs in the world. Written by someone other than Max Martin. Someone like me!  : )

Reason #19 to support my crowdfunding campaign:

Because songs help you heal…

Weep not
Weep not for me
I am reading by the light
With a half-writ limerick in my lap
Weep not for me

Weep not
Weep not for me
I am talking with old friends
There’s a lot of long-lost faces here
They are coming for tea

I’m finally free of pain, and sorrow
So rise, and dream about tomorrow

Weep not
Weep not
Weep not for me

Reason #22 to support my crowdfunding campaign:

Because you enjoy a side dish of poetry with your main course of catchy tunes.

Excerpt from my song The Difference:

I am no pale wounded bird
I am no Jezebel, spinning through spoils
I feel alive and ready to thrive
But you are a kite
Or a cliff
And no way of knowing yet
Which

Reason #23 to be part of my crowdfunding campaign:

Because support you give to an independent artist
ripples out into many lives.

TinyRipplesIf music has ever comforted you, lifted your spirits, given shape to a feeling you couldn’t otherwise express, then you know how powerful it is.

Participate, and keep the ripples flowing!
