I see into a pool, her face is a mirror. Venus sits by me and smiles. She goes forward and cups her hands, drinks from my spoils. I watch her drink all my tears dry. Venus is more beautiful than spring, and woman is the promise she brings. Venus brings me a book: the answer to why. I open it to look inside and butterflies flyRead more…

POEM: VENUS
By Linda Cull • November 22nd, 2023POEM: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME
By Linda Cull • November 20th, 2022Water flows… we build a float of dreams and sit upon the float, and f l o a t downstream.

Take yourself into action before the next hour passes. And for aRead more…

By Linda Cull • November 7th, 2020A few things… earlier this year, aside from working with my book designer Damonza (affiliate) to create an awesome poetry book, I got back into my art practice with the help of the #100dayproject. I worked on smaller canvases and incorporated collages into my designs which I really enjoyed big time and it’s an area of creativity I would like to explore further. My artwork was in celebration of Eve,Read more…
