New Site Is Up

The self-hosted WordPress site is now up and running.  All new updates and posts going forward will be there.  Please visit http://jonashyde.com to read the classical narrative poetry of Jonas Hyde.

Journal D:8

Not the progress I wanted.  I found little time to finish fleshing out the story for the new Helling piece.  I need solitude…

Journal D:6

Nothing really accomplished today.  I’m sure of late these posts have been boring.  Any thoughts on some of the works on this site?

Journal D:5

Busy day and a long drive.  However, I did work out many of the plot elements for the new Helling piece.  Just a couple more things to work out.  I look forward to its release.

Journal D:4

Tired today.  Very much so.  I did manage to flesh out most of the next piece I mentioned.  Now I just need to define the details.  From there, I will get into the Helling mindset and start the process.  I am excited about where this one is going.

Journal D:3

So I am putting together the pages for the Yale and Beatrice reviews, and decided I would like to add one more piece.  I am currently working on a new piece based off Night Mare that will fit into the Alistair Helling series.  Whether or not it fits in length or time remains to be seen, but that is coming next.

Upon completion of that, it looks like Targy vol2, for those interested in the children’s series.

So currently that is the plan.  Thoughts?

Day 2

Another early morning.  I did finish the Bard’s Sword section 4/5 yesterday, but have not yet posted it.  Look for it soon.  Fatigue seems to come earlier and earlier, especially when coupled with these early hours.

Journal: Day 1

Many writers, myself included, at least ‘try’ to write every day.  Having kept a handwritten journal in the past, I am now attempting to migrate over to an online version.  Some days I may only get in a few words… others hopefully something more substantial.   Either way, it is an expirement worth trying.  As always, all comments are welcome.

New project in the works for Jonas Hyde

On the heels of the successful poem Adieu – (The final words of Gilles de Rais) Jonas Hyde is putting together a new poetry anthology titled Last Words.  The works in Last Words will follow a similar premise to Adieu, in the idea they will be from the point of view of notable, though obscure, people throughout history.

The original piece, Adieu, is based on the final night in the life of GdR.  Gilles de Rais (September 10, 1404—October 26, 1440) was a French noble, soldier, and one time brother-in-arms of Joan of Arc, but is perhaps best known as a prolific serial killer who in his final nights sought forgiveness for his actions.

Other pieces in the anthology will be from the point of view of great thinkers, religious leaders, mathematicians, and more.

Jonas Hyde, the acclaimed poet, author, and wordsmith is excited to capture the essence of each of the final nights using his classical form of emotional intense and artistically vivid poetry.  For more information on Jonas Hyde, or to review some of his other prominent works such as Lament for Lady Beth, Seraph’s Song: The Epic Fable of Sister Sera, Daughter’s Dream, Insula de Verum, and more, please visit www.jonashyde.com

Random thought of my day

My muse… she inspires me yet, even tho’ with every breath she damns me.

Random thought of my day

There are two sides to you I see,
one everyday,
and one you keep so far, far away…

Google, Epic Fables, and Seraph’s Song

Just a quick update for those of you keeping track.  Seraph’s Song: The Epic Fable of Sister Sera is currently ranked #3 on Helium under the Poetry: Fables topic.  You can show your support by viewing the work here.

Also, on Google, if you search by the term: epic fable, Sister Sera is among the chart toppers.

Helium is a large site, and throughout the history of poetry, there have been many great works that could be considered epic fables, so both events are decent internet accomplishments.

Thanks for any and all support -

Random Thought of My Day

The end is nigh…

Not in some apocolyptic way, nor in some life/death way. But simply, in just a way… if that makes any sense.

Ahhh, the thoughts of a poet. How many of you get lost in your own thoughts? I surely do…

Random thought of the day…

And when somebody knows you well
Well, there’s no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well, there’s no drug like that

-H Nova

Just think about it….
