About Alexandra Heep:

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

Sedoka

While doing some research, I came across poems called Sedokas. These are non rhyming  sets of lines with 5,7,7 and 5,7,7 syllables. So, I tried my hand at one.

Each is made of dust
time will win out every time
drying the oceans of life.

Truths severed from lies
stardust evaporating
no separation from death.
