Picture of a Fourth of July sparkler held in someone's hand. The poem to the right of the sparkler is titled, "Independence Day" by A.M. Watson (@artsymagee). 

The poem:

Yet another American holiday that has been
Boiled down until the alcohol has evaporated
Leaving nothing in the pot but white residue
We don’t have a clue how it affects the Indigenous
As we cram the porcelain slop down their throats
In an attempt to bleach them and uproot them.
Red, white and blue scream into whiteish, blue faces
Filling them up like noxious balloons, set to
Pop off on anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
We celebrate freedom from a country we have
Easily become the mirror image of, giving us
Nothing to celebrate but hypocrisy, and honestly,
A massively corpulent American lie.

A large black circle with elegant, swirling writing on top that says "All American Waste" in white. Authors name "A.M. Watson" is centered at the bottom in white.

Exciting news, folks! 🚀

I'm thrilled to announce that my first official poetry book ✨All American Waste✨will be launching on April 4, 2024 on Amazon! Just in time for #poetrymonth and #indieapril 🤍

A little about the book...

"All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on! Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the 'American Dream,' the poems within the pages dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!"

In the background (image by Julian Paolo Dayag (Unsplash)), sun beams down onto deep brown soil with bright green seedling just beginning to pop out. Within a transparent black box over the background is the poem 'The Fall' by A.M. Watson (@artsymagee):

The Fall

Does a seed
Twisting, whirling, tumbling
Away from provenance 
Feel lost and unsure
As if
It has hit rock bottom?
Or does it know
When it
Tumbles, crashes, sticks
Into thick sputtering dirt
That it has only
Just started to
Grow?

The Fall

A.M. Watson (aka @artsymagee)

May

May I change?

May I grow?

May I take this very slow?

May I breathe?

May I see?

May I blossom like a tree?

May I shift?

May I stay?

May I love myself today?

-- A.M. Watson (@artsymagee)

Sleep withers away

Each new day, in

Such a special way

One that makes me say

I may survive today...

No Way

Two house plants by a window in a warmly lit corner with a translucent black box over the image. Within the box is a poem titled House Plant by A.M. Watson, aka Artsy Magee:

One glance outside my window
Blesses my eyes with seas of green,
Of trees, and grass, and bushes
Waving at me, hoping to be seen

These magnificent, flourishing beings
Dancing together in the breeze
Hold not a single care in the world
Each doing exactly how they please

The world outside looks energized
So warm, welcoming and clean
But I chose to stay safe inside
Where no one can talk to me

No matter the day or weather
I stay safely behind a screen
Chalking all of my canceled plans 
up to my social anxiety

But I realized something today
Something that will make you beam
IT’S OKAY TO BE A HOUSEPLANT
And hide away from the evergreens

It’s okay to be yourself, even when
It’s hard to make others pleased
Not everyone has to live their lives
As if on the cover of a magazine

Stay tuned for new poems, and if you're interested in my artwork you can follow @artsymagee on Instagram and Facebook!

Thank you all again, I can't wait to see what the future holds creatively! Glad to be back! (:

Wedding

All this wedding planning has been taking

a huge toll on my writing endeavors.

My untouched document stares at me

from its all but forgotten tab as I shift through

cakes, flowers, and dresses in tangled masses.

I hope I can find the time to return to its

blank, blinking boredom before

the big day in October

Untitled (5:30PM)

It was 5:30 pm and you were laughing as the

Breeze was knocking my hair all around me

The smell of the beach stuck under

Our noses

I glanced at you and could help

But to smile

That's when I knew

I could glance at you for

The rest of my life

Untitled (Love Yourself)

I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh

even when you find it too rough, too loud.

I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun

even when you're on the verge of breaking down.

I still know that flowers grow from your skin

and that life exists from within

even when you pick them out like they're a sin.

I still see summer in your smile

and hear spring in your sigh

even when you think it's dead season in your life.

I still love you for you

even when you don't love yourself too.

Drizzle

Long detested by most,

The drizzle comes down

Upon the once sun soaked

Town amidst Spring Cleaning.

To me a baptism, to drench

Summer into submission,

The perfect waiting game,

As Summer can push and prod

Impatient and imperious

To make frost heaved asphalt

Sizzle and deflate, shimmer

And expel Winter treasure.

The feathered rain remains

Spring’s single defense

Against her fast-paced sibling

Dousing the region in dampness

One half expects a billow of steam

To blanket and clog terrain

Instead clouds collect cotton

Tempered trails of mist

And the cool cloth of condensation

Insists that we revitalize Winter

For one last day.
