Honored to receive a Best of the Net nomination from Up the Staircase for my poem, “What the Fortune Teller Told Me.” Maybe this is the motivation I need to get out of my rut and write a poem 🙏💕🔮 👗 🔭 ✨

What the Fortune Teller Told Me
was that I'd wake up one day and everything would be different. I'd stop apologizing— not to others, but to myself. For being.
For taking up space. That when I sing, people will crawl inside my voice to rest.
She said I see a dress. It's pink with a tulle gown and sequined bodice. It's swaying on a wire hanger inside a vertical coffin. I explained that on prom night
I curled up on the loveseat in my bedroom and hugged my stomach. I dream about emptiness, how it occupies its own kind of space. I wake up and mark another X on the calendar.
Of course, she asked about the man.
I told her it's like I'm looking through a telescope.
Sometimes it's me on the other end, sometimes it's him. I don't know where he ends and I begin, but we're both unreachable.
She said oh, honey, tracing the lines of my palm.
Oh, honey, she said, you're too bright for this.
I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't want to be a star.
Maybe just the space between two stars.

Checking in at our public library on the weekly book run, and it's great to see the joke books available to the public. (Even better to see that out of all the books the library has, only two are still on the shelf today.🤩) Available ➡️ hennessyent.com/the-hennessy... and through big booksellers.❤️🙏

A copy of 101 Nature Jokes by The Hennessy Kids held in hand, a smiling cartoon owl on the cover. In the background are the library stacks in the children's section of a public library.
