[During April I’m taking part in Storytelling Collectives #AprilDailyPoem event!
For the next 30 days, I’ll be trying to write one poem every day!]
I’ve become a fairy for tax reasons
At least for a few seasons
You can’t care about rent swelling
When you live in a tiny mushroom dwelling
So I’ll quietly sit and drink the dew
And maybe next year I’ll be able to live in a shoe.
I’ll make my clothes out of string and petals
Forge art from tiny chunks of precious metals
I’ll turn a raindrop into a creek
All in a place where eyes can’t peek.
Jonathon Greenall is a freelance writer, artist, and tabletop roleplaying game designer who has written for CBR, Polygon, Nintendo Life, Gayley Dreadful, Enbylife, and many other publications. They have also published several popular and highly-praised tabletop roleplaying games including “You Have One Ability….The Ability To Fuck This Up,” “Macarons, Milkshakes, And Magic,” and “Wander Wizards.”
Jonathon has always been fascinated by media, from the big hitters to the small, obscure, and often overlooked titles that linger on the sidelines, capturing both the on and off-camera stories that make these shows so fascinating.
Jonathon is also a major anime fan, having been exposed to the medium through shows like Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena. Since then, Jonathon has maintained a passion for anime, watching most new shows each season and hunting down overlooked gems from previous ones.
