Messy Monday's - The Smock Meeting that was.




This weeks meeting at Moe’s Southwest Grill was nothing short of resplendent. We all read our respective pieces on the theme of expectations. Theirry read a short story on Superman and his expectations as Clark Kent as well as his normality as a superhero. Erica succinctly read us a love poem that used metaphors riding on trains, broken hearts, and exes that never were. Jeff talked about a caged bird that flew away, never to return, but left an impression in his head, and pen. I wrote a short story of someone who I was romantically entrenched in, in my mind. She didn’t have the same sentiment of course.

Theirry found his niche in a big project – he’ll be working on creating an issue of a comic book. More insights from the man himself coming soon. Jeff will be working on a collection of the best of his hundreds of poems he’s amassed of nearly two years, and Erica brought a new manuscript idea to the table – a man who was rightfully accused in jail, and sits behind bars alive to tell the story. I have a new twist for a manuscript I’ve been working on – a book based on text message correspondence gone awry.

Next weeks big theme is on infidelity. Let’s see what the smocker’s come up with this week!

Until tomorrow.

Ralph, numero uno mother smocker.
