The Jail I Enrolled Into, The Fallen god, & Chocolate Cake (w/Shiksha Dheda)

Shiksha wants to make it clear that these are the poems of a 16 year old so listeners beware. From "school is a prison," to a personified Death, Shiksha takes Dave and Aaron through the ringer of cliche high school poems. They all find a little solace in the fact that we all tend to need the same things, and in the end isn't that a sweet piece of cake to consider?

My Bad Poetry Episode 5.9: "The Jail I Enrolled Into, The Fallen god, & Chocolate Cake (w/Shiksha Dheda)"

End Poem from a Real Poet: "Can I Please Stop Growing Now" by Shiksha Dheda recently published with Monologgging.

Shiksha's poetry collections Washed Away: a collection of fragments, The Tragedy of Touch, and We are All Pretty Bizarre: Ramblings About the Movies, are all available for purchase online.

Look for her newest essay collection dropping on soon through Anxiety press!
