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.

Loveless Love Poem for NaPoWriMo Day 4



Today's poetry was inspired by the prompt on the NaNoWriMo site "write a love poem without using the word love (and avoid cliches.)

A man is supposed to buy shiny things and carry a big wallet
Slay dragons one moment, and bring flowers the next
A woman is supposed to look like a model, always flawless
When she wakes up and when she lays down to rest.

Forget about magazines, movies and books
Reality works in different ways
After all, we all know about fading looks
and remember that money never stays.

Laugh
0vercome challenges
Validate your feelings
Embrace each others flaws.
