Become an Emerald Author
We just released our new monetization features with the soft launch of our paid subscription Portal, The Emerald Lounge. So, authors in the lounge can have paid subscribers for their content, be it poems, stories, or books, you know, the works you've been holding back until it's ready to shine like it should. Become an Emerald author by submitting your best work, or work you like. If you think you can out-drink, or even hang until closing time with Hemingway or Hank, we want to meet you. Accepted authors will receive a code for "Become an Emerald Author," which you will find in your settings. Go get it.

Under A Cobalt Colored Sky
Backed against crimson colored brick.
These city lights are blinding, not aiding while I falter—
Ironically, so inebriated;
I’m probably just as lit.
Staggering through these vile streets.
Focused on the fact I’m a modern day nomad—
failing to fit in with the fakes, freaks, addicts, morally guided or the elites.
Too many nights I find myself here.
Damning the has-beens, what ifs, stockings torn, heels in hands—
alone, wishing to trade the urge for risk, in for fears.
