These were all grim and heavy with funeral flowers but Linda Kowalchek was like the first chapter of a southern gothic novel. Perfect mix of death and formality. Wonderful!
Thank you , you are so kind! I am thrilled you liked it. I was unsure that I fit among all of the talent in this group.Thank you so much for boosting my confidence. But most importantly, I am ecstatic that you enjoyed what I wrote! Thank you so very much for reading!!!😊❤️
WoW! amazing collection, awesome to be part of this group. Thank you all for sharing your poems, words and inner "hersenschimmen" each and every time I am amazed and proud to be part of it :)
Congrats to everyone involved! As always, this was awesome to be a part of, and this theme particularly brought out some deliciously dark tales. I'll be reading and re-reading this for days. I best get cozy ☕️ 🚬 🖤
Thank you, Samantha, for giving us just a taste of your talent in this one. A true delicacy. We'd be lucky to get seconds. Oh, I hope we do though! And thirds, fourths, fi- I'm getting greedy :D
Each one is an enjoyment of its own ❤️🩹🖤 I read this a few times and as always, BCP never disappoints! Such a grand scale of everything all at once I feel blessed 🧚♂️
Thanks for the recommendation. I have never really heard much of either of these people, so again, you have shown me the entrance to a cool rabbit hole.
Wow! What a collection! It's really great to be a part of this publication and also be introduced to so many new writers! I think that's the beauty of your publication; all the hard work and time curating not only the poetry but the gathering of writers with unique voices. A huge congratulations to all the brilliant work by the writers but a massive thanks goes out to the BCP team for doing so much to support the writers!
Thank you, Sylvia! Was certainly our honour to feature your words. You stretched and meshed your style with the theme to create something divinely powerful. The witches will surely follow your lead to take over the cosmos.
It felt like a bit of a homecoming, joining you here alongside Jozef, too...Witches, Shaman, and Spiritual beings realized through the Divine Feminine...All proudly walking alongside everyone here. Cheers my friend, definitely I'm humbled.
Every fucking time I’m just blown away - by everyone’s talent, these special glimpses into your wonderful(l!) souls, all the love everyone shares here in the comments, and that I’m able to be part of all this 😭🖤

What an eventful day we’ve all had in this comment section today haha
This is the uncensored interwebz, unfortunately.
Lol There’s always that one person isn’t there?
I shudder to think of what a dark cloud they must be to those around them.
But sincerely i do appreciate that y’all had everyone’s back. Thank you.
We’re not delusional enough to think we’ve written the best poetry ever written but everyone writes from their heart and sometimes that’s enough 💜✨
We haven’t gotten to 600+ subs from publishing “bad” poetry or prose.
We publish the best, and some people are envious leeches.
Thanks to all the writers who share their work at the Black Coffee Cafe!
Thank you, dear Paul, for your continued support 🖤🥹☕️
WoW! amazing collection, awesome to be part of this group. Thank you all for sharing your poems, words and inner "hersenschimmen" each and every time I am amazed and proud to be part of it :)
Thank YOU for being you, Maarten ^_^.
Now this one I need about 20 dictionaries.
Ha ha, it’s a sizeable collection, Bin! ^_^
Yes, out of my size scale.
Congrats to everyone involved! As always, this was awesome to be a part of, and this theme particularly brought out some deliciously dark tales. I'll be reading and re-reading this for days. I best get cozy ☕️ 🚬 🖤
This collection blew me away! Simply superb in every sense. I'm in love with you all 🖤
Your piece was FIERCE, Silva. Simply superb indeed.
🩵
What a taste of talent! I look forward to the next one!

You greedy bitch
Im ravenous
Patience…
Easy now. There’s plenty to go around.
I'm ready to sacrifice some blood; let me know the place and time.
This was out of this world. I'm speechless.
I’m blind from too much computer screentime, I’ll swap you speechlessness for pure sight?!
Each one is an enjoyment of its own ❤️🩹🖤 I read this a few times and as always, BCP never disappoints! Such a grand scale of everything all at once I feel blessed 🧚♂️
O, it was a deadly joy to have you back for this one, Adrian. You let the dark take hold for this piece; a valiant sacrifice 🖤
I bless thee ✨✨✨
Update: I am standing outside, smoking, reading @J. Kayla’s piece and I can literally smell the rain coming. What a day!
Don't you love it when dark prose brings out a new appreciation of life? Like a sunset that reminds us that even bad days can end beautifully 🖤
No better mood for a bit of Gothic poetry, I say ☕️ 🚬
Well I wouldn't want to get "hung up" in the rain 🌧️ in my account!! Seriously hope the weather gets better quickly!!
But I want to! It is perfection.
Thank u Melanie!!
Another great collection of works. Thank you to everyone who took part.
You’re always welcome to submit!
I know. I just didn't have anything to give this week. Maybe next time.
I hope so!
Jozef CAIN - Didn't Patti Smith dub Cain the first inspired man? Dan Pagis' Abel is your doublet (check out his poem 'Autobiography').

Welcome home 😊❤️
Thank you, it’s a labor of love (and it has to be) to coordinate between the three of us, and bring together so many voices.
LOVED your piece!
Thank you Edward! Loved yours, too! Missed hearing audio with yours, though! Audio is almost always my favourite...makes your writing come so alive.
I love yours too Edward! Wild!!!! Reminded me of a book I just finished- titled Rejection.
I’m writing a book about methamphetamine abuse in the gay/bi male community, it likely came about from this.
That sounds really interesting!
For a poem I always include audio, this was an SOC clusterfuck so I just left as is.
Wow, what an amazing collection. So proud to be a part of it and loving being introduced to so many incredible writers!
You are most welcome.

Aww you guys i love you 😭
You are a BIG part of it, Julie. Always! And this one, good lord, the theology mixed with gory was such a heavy hitter. You never miss.
Nope, she never does.
You’re one of the belles of this ball, Julie 🥹🖤
🥺❤️🩹
