    “Sonshine” | Poem Read by Drema Drudge (CW: death)

    Drema reads her poem, "Sonshine," about a face painter who tells a story about a opossum and her dog. CW: death While this is not a polished reading, it is heartfelt and I hope it might ease your pain if you've suffered loss.  This first appeared on my blog, then recently was published by Bards Against Hunger.

    "Some Said It Thundered" Read by the author, Drema Drudge

    A flash of memory. A poem that knows exactly how it feels to be struck by something you didn’t see coming. In this brief reading, I share Some Said It Thundered, a poem about those sudden sparks that keep echoing long after the moment passes. Think Back to the Future, but make it poetry. Make it personal. Happy holidays, friends, and may your heart stay just flammable enough. Keep creating!  “Some Said It Thundered” written and read by Drema Drudge.  © 2025 Drema Drudge. All rights reserved.

    Fight Me in the Waffle House Parking Lot at Dawn (Read by the author)

    Just sharing another poem, "Fight Me in the Waffle House Parking Lot at Dawn," first published by The Daily Drunk. Many thanks to them.  As I say before I read the poem, this came to me while I was on cold medicine and was awake at maybe three a.m. and this little critter just showed up.  I really like it. Oh, and the onion rings line? Like someone taking out their earrings for a fight, right?  I'm not one for violence, but I will fight for art. And love. :-)  A truck drove past right as I was in the middle of recording, and I decided to keep the sound in. Why not? Fight Me in the Waffle House Parking Lot at Dawn Fight me in the Waffle House parking lot at dawn. Take out your onion rings and hand them to your bestie except, no onion rings here. You can’t handle The Roof wrapped in paper napkins. Shadow box four rounds or line dance your way back to town. Go inside, pick a spot at the counter and perform Americana. Norman Rockwell will see you now. Psst…I kinda like this little freak. Copyright Drema Drudge 2025. All rights reserved.
