Much love to my Meta, CC, who wrote this, and who should be very proud that she is finding her own way, to her own poly. My husband and I are each two years into our own extramarital relationships, and I still have trouble self-identifying as polyamorous. There are probably people who would place myContinue reading “Guest post: Reflections on “perfect poly” by an accidental metamour.”

~Color~
“Red”, I write “is the color of life. It’s blood, passion, rage. It’s menstrual flow and after birth. Beginnings and violent end. Red is the color of love. Beating hearts and hungry lips. Roses, Valentines, cherries. Red is the color of shame. Crimson cheeks and spilled blood. Broken hearts, opened veins.” ~ Mary Hogan, Pretty FaceContinue reading “~Color~”
~Pace~
I want to write every day, but sometimes all I am thinking of is the laundry that needs to be done, and the children who need to be fed. I am wiped out from a busy weekend of much visiting and socializing, and that takes a lot out of a mostly introverted girl, who lovesContinue reading “~Pace~”
~Green~
Mister SMF has a new friend. A new friend who is a girl. They met through OkCupid. She drinks coffee and she is recently split from a husband. That’s all I know. I kind of want to know more about her, this Coffee Girl, but at the same time I’m hesitant to give myself fodderContinue reading “~Green~”
~Gift~
This week is Meta’s birthday. I want to get her a unique and interesting gift. Because she is unique and interesting. She’s amazingly intelligent and she has an ass that I would kill for. (It’s a little bit intimidating, that ass; that’s how perfect it is.) She has great taste in shoes, she’s athletic andContinue reading “~Gift~”
~Flirt~
I do love flirting. I’ve got a new little online friend who says the sweetest things to me, with just a subtle undertone of more to come. It’s the perfect balance of expectation and a light-hearted back and forth with another person, who is still a mystery to me. I enjoy the tease, and the anticipation,Continue reading “~Flirt~”
~Cheater~
I was getting ready for a date, in that slow, enjoyable manner that girls mostly love, when they are allowed to pamper themselves. My daughter was quietly watching, with a lipstick in one hand, and a small mirror in the other. “Who is your date with? Special Man Friend?” she says. “Nope”, I say, “aContinue reading “~Cheater~”
~Word~
Oh, how I love words. Words hold power. A word can instantly represent a thought, an idea, a concept. I find language fascinating and beautiful. All at once, a word can mean different things to different people, and there is no better example of this than when learning the language of PolyLand. Let’s look atContinue reading “~Word~”
~Out~
Special Man Friend thinks that we should be out to my family and kids as polyamorous. What that means for me, is that my children, who know know him as my almost-two-year-boyfriend, would have to reconcile the fact that I am very much in love with him…and that his wife is okay with that. NotContinue reading “~Out~”
~Madly~
I wish I could say I am poly on purpose. But the truth is, I fell into it. Stumbled over it. And almost two years later, I’m still trying to find my footing. Granted, I knew that Mister was married, I had read about and researched polyamory before we ever even met face to face.Continue reading “~Madly~”
