Everyone Should Know This

Posted on by Jixi Fox

There are a few things I think everyone should know. Such things like 1 + 1 = 2, and 2 + 2 = 4, as well as 2 x 2 = 4. But critically, I feel everyone should know themselves. It’s super important to be self aware. With this skill, knowledge and investment, you will be able to do incredible things and also know why you can’t as well.

Just A Way Out

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Just can’t believe it’s butter,
I stutter when I say it,
I don’t know the way,
You want to play it,
Okay it’s up in the air,
But I am not that crazy,
I couldn’t get out of bed today,
Mostly because I am lazy.

No Seats Available | Spoken Word

Posted on by Jixi Fox

There are no seats for you at the table,
You are not able,
To sit with my crew,
I brought food and lunch for my dogs,
I didn’t bring none for you,
I can’t face you,
Pardon my back,
I am eating snacks,
So scooby,
I roll dice all the time,
Jamaican style,
Ludi,
Back still turnt,
You are not faceable,
Looking like lead from my pencil,
You are erasable,
Not praisable,
You are not a god,
Head to the corner of the room,
Swallow your sobs,
You can’t always fit in,
If it’s not a loss,
Don’t think it’s a win,
You hit the rim,
It’s a miss,
Should have dunked it,
No yards to gain,
You should have punt it.

The Biggest Risk Ever, WOW

Posted on by Jixi Fox
Daily writing prompt
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?
View all responses

This prompt hits the soul, the biggest risk would be to pure my heart out to someone, and ask them to love me unconditionally. I want this one person to just trust in you, even though you haven’t known each other long, that I got them, and I just want them to have me.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, 16 YEARS BLOGGING

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Well yup, the numbers sound just about right, Happy 16th Year Blog Anniversary. The Jixi Fox blog was born in October 2007, just a few months before my debut music/poetry album independently made Kreative Expressions. In these beginning years, it was a proud moment and the internet was evolving. So many services to choose from but I choose code, “Code is Poetry” for I write poetry and life in my words. I wrote deep and short pieces that related with others and help build this strong community we have now on WordPress.

From the (4) WordPress Word Camps I have attended & hosted and more to come, I knew my writing career and expressive creative writing was here to stay. From the depths of college years back then when no really knew what blogging and seo was, I was there, guiding, commenting, promoting, laughing and enjoying words of others.

As much as this is a celebration for me, for I will honor every year, it’s a celebration to all the writers, bloggers, creatives, to keep pushing. Keep creating and connecting.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I started to celebrate a lot more of me these special moments and milestones starting 2021. I was always told, I just kept going and never take a time to look back and see where I have come from.

Thanks to anyone who ever viewed, dropped a like or just a kind friend who came over to my home. #community.
