My name is Megan Garner and I currently work as a copywriter for a local marketing company. As a hobby, I attempt to write poetry, screenplays, and sweeping fantasy novels.

Ripper

May 24, 2018June 11, 2018 Megan Garner

Come, girls, come, Want to keep off the chill? Wrap your head in cloth To hide the head-dust and sores. Hide the greying at the roots, And the rasp in your voice. Pretend you’re younger– Talk higher, dip your eyes And cross your legs like they’ve never been spread. Pretend Read more

December 28, 2016September 14, 2018 Megan Garner

Sometimes I find her so heavy with thought, She can’t remember where she put it, the thing, the one thing she ought to bring to the houses, with the people who call her— “Friend!” A parting gift, for the folks who stayed. She leaves it with them to be polite. Read more

The Ocean is a Woman

November 21, 2016September 12, 2018 Megan Garner

The ocean is a woman. She is vast and she is changing, And she does not hide from us All her forms, all her shades, All her faces. But we see her stilled, at times, And we assume passiveness. We see calm waters And, in forgetting her power, We abuse Read more
