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.

We were our own flood
We cried ourselves a hurricane
We laughed away the rain
We loved ourselves a sunny day
We drizzled out the pain
You're smile itself is a rainbow
When you frowned the blizzards came
You and I were a thunderstorm
That left as quickly as it came
You live, still, in my mind
Your tornado left debris
The love we made was volcanic
Even though the ash kept us hard to breathe
You loved me for a season
Our pressures were high and low
The monsoon that is you eased up
And took with it our hope
Now when I watch the weather
Im reminded all of you
Your beautiful fury caused a landslide for me
And now you're someone else's typhoon
We were our own flood.
